*E36 M3's Breaking*

Firstly, a big thanks to the folks that made it to Ballina/Killaloe. It was a horrible day and in the circumstances the turnout of 5 cars to take part was excellent.

A few of the guys have already identified themselves here but the list of participants was:

Richard31 - travelled from Limerick

Ben O'Brien - travelled from Newmarket on Fergus

Digweed - travelled from Ennis

Andybmk - travelled from Adare

Paddy_d2k2 - travelled from Maynooth (big thanks for that, especially because of the weather!).

NN_DD joined us in Ballina before the set-off and again at the end. Daxklynsmith joined us for lunch in Portumna (it should have been my first time to meet Dax but by pure chance we swapped parking spaces in John Roches garage in Gort yesterday).

Will get the results up here later, but in the meantime thanks again to all for making the effort. It was great to meet a few more club members and swap petrolhead type experiences. The link below will take you to a few photo's I took, the weather didn't encourage me to stand out and take more

	Bad weather all right. Still would have liked to go. Only 2 customers came into the shop all day. I used to drive a yellow Kangoo just like that one in the pic. Those were the days.
