The rally is on the 1st, The road will be closed from 1 to 6PM.
We'll get to see everything twice as it's stage 5 & 7.

The wife is a legend with a BBQ and grass grows back so I'm not too worried on either front :wink:

Seeing as Bernard is one of the founders I'll him tell you ALL about it. Hes good at that sort of stuff.

Seriously though, Bernard do you have room for all those cars in your garden?
And what time would we want to be there at cause the road will prob be closing earlier than 1 will it? Plus just in case people take a wrong turn or something and find out they cant turn back cause a section is closed off or something.

Is it too early to be asking the usual question for the cork crew? Meet up beforehand and go together or what?

Good question.

There's no problem with room, I've a big back garden with a double (farmer style) gate.

I suppose we should plan on being a bit early, although my house is easy enough to find.

Not being smart here but would you want to hang a flag outside the gate or something for the first few to find it, cause I'm sure the rest will find it be looking for the house with the garden full of FTOs, and Z's, and possibly a VR4, and possibly a ferrari felicia, oh and your escort of course.

Can do.
The house is on a corner though so it's easy enough.

Any thoughts on an activity yet?
CJ was asking about a dyno. Unless someone knows otherwise I think the nearest one is in Tralee.

Tralee

Not really that desperate for a dyno are we!! haha! What's nearby otherwise?

Paintballing? Go carting? Drinking...

There is paintballing and karting in Limerick.

Paintballing isn't fantastic and the last time I went karting there I ended up in hospital.

TWICE.

You should be good so after all that experience :wink:

Here are the links anyway...paintballing,karting

I dont mind karting if y'all promise not to hit into me at full speed.

And that if you do that ye pay for my hospital fees.

colm has that huge FTO flag that might come handy

Posted: **Tue May 06, 2008 10:16 pm**

Well I don't really care what we do sure be a laugh to meet everyone anyway!

Posted: **Tue May 06, 2008 10:35 pm**

I've added a pole :wink:

I'd say Saturday the 31st would be best for an Activity given that we'll be house bound from 1 'til 6 on Sunday.

Posted: **Tue May 06, 2008 10:39 pm**

Prob the better plan ya, wouldnt get much done on the sunday I'd say.
I go for karting with a bit of a drive afterwards. Paintballing hurts too much if got in the right (or wrong) places and I dont want to ruin my vision of my bhp which I tell everyone is 200 (dont start I know its not really!) so that rules out the dyno for me and I enjoyed the karting the last time so that won it for me.

Posted: **Tue May 06, 2008 11:06 pm**

Much as I love karting - I found the track and karts pretty dissapointing at Kilcornan. Think Paintballing would be the better option - CombatZone isn't a bad spot - not much different to Tralee for those that were there on the previous FTO meet.

Whatever way I'll be on for either-or.

Theres no dyno in Limerick area so thats a no-go!

Posted: **Tue May 06, 2008 11:51 pm**

im voting for the paintballing!

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2008 8:53 am**

This is gonna be a hoot - looking forward to meeting yous all again.

I've voted for the Karting - but the other options are all good too :-)

Wha' you don't want to verify the butterfly valve theory?

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2008 9:02 am**

whats that?

no its the fact im getting it DYNO'd again today as im getting the neo mapped in westward eng.

and i dont want to start a trend of getting it dyno'd every 2 months :lol:

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2008 9:04 am**

wonder if there's any mobile dyno's ala top gear when they dyno'd the "supercars for less than the price of a second hand mondeo" episode.

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2008 9:05 am**

not many people will get the expected results from one of them themp, etcc. taking effect!

theres tullamore but thats a bit of a hike!

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2008 10:11 am**

June 1st? Maybe, I can make it! Let ye know later in the week, don't want to make any promises and then break many heart's if I can't :lol:

Isn't that right Martin! :lol:

I've a first communion the weekwnd before & a wedding the week after, so there needs to be something in between where I can blow off some steam!
