Ramble Round the Emerald Isle - Discussion Thread
 

Cracking looking road there! I may be tempted. Anyone for a ramble around Ireland?

I wouldn't mind a trip over to the west coast, around Westport and Achill Island.

I'd be interested in an 8 trip over there sometime :D

Been there a few time and I welcome any excuse to return
So YES +++

Would be great to have a bunch of you come over and run the roads.
Great roads, great scenery, great cars & no police.....bliss +++

I'm with you there fella, the wife and I had a fantastic time last year.
Just a shame it was only for a week, bumbling about in this ....

In Galway

The only thing I found wrong, is that some of the roads are very bumpy !!
Not what you need when you have a slammed vehicle.


Hope you dont mind VW pics on this forum??

The roads, especial the minor roads can be rough, but when you find the perfect stretch its nice

I like the thing where everyone drives in the outside lane, and slower cars pull into the left lane to let you pass

I tried the left lane at high sped and was airborne for most of the time :ROFL:

Lol you'll probably find Dezzy in that lane in one of his tractor/bulldozer/farm machinery fleet! :ROFL:

Anyone who wants to post a photo of a slammed splitty is duty bound to do so. There is only one better vehicle. A slammed splitty on air with a Porsche 6 pot turbo! Muhahahahahahaha.

Do I sense a A8parts forum ramble to the Emerald Isle in the offing? Mid September????

Would Niall be up to meet us and help show us around with cathedral60? ++++++

mid-September fits in to the calender nicely! :D

Guilty :)
Have you seen the film clips of the German one blatting round the Ring?
Makes some proper fast cars look slow !!

September would be perfect +++

Septembers free for me too and the sooner I can get a date down I can stop other stuff getting put in there

Could this by any chance involve pubs, Irish music and Guinness....? Yum

Whereabouts in the Emerald Isle do you hale from Cathedral?

Londonderry, Northern Ireland just on the border with Co Donegal. But also have a holiday home in donegal as well

Can I suggest the Long weekends of either Fri 2nd to Mon 5th OR Fri 9th to Monday 12th September inclusive? I guess a few of us would ferry over together on the Friday and stay Fri, sat and sunday night and come back monday again? :D+++

Fri 9th to Mon 12th sounds good. How about out via Fishguard to Rosslare, drive over to Limerick to visit builder22 (Niall), Saturday up to Donegal, Sunday to Dublin, Monday Dublin to Rosslare?

Ferries would be approx £200 + 3 nights B&B + Fuel and Beer!!!! :D+++

sounds like a great plan Mike - Can we split these posts off from here into a new thread in Owners meets and start a list of those interested Mike? I'll add it to the Diary as a possible date (Ive added the scottish meet there too Jim) +++

Heres a link to the possible route ExpolrA8tion Ireland!

Get orff my lane
