Next Irish Event - Portlaoise Economy Run

Same as my last 2 Beemers! And hollow cams ain't fun to re-fit after a DIY head gasket replacement (except for the head skim of course) without the proper tool.

That particular job was done alfresco over a few days !!! What a hoot.. final assembly night was bucketing so we had tarpolin strung from open bonnet to the passenger window, and the other side onto a mates shed! Still 20,000 hard miles later and it's still singing so I'm fairly chuffed at our efforts.

Alas can't go on Sunday.... my buddies are all getting married & are throwing my BMW club activities - last trackday I had to leave early to get to a stag in Castlegregory. I'm missing this Sunday for another stag, and the Cork meet on the June w/e cos of the 1st guys wedding in Scotland!

Extra temptation

Included in the prizes are BMW F1 Polo shirts and new 6 series pens

Remember Meeting place LIDL car park behind Supermacs Portlaoise at 10:30

See you there

Supermacs/Lidl are on the old dublin/limerick road (replaced with motorway). If you take 1st turn into P.laoise follow main road and you will eventually see it. see http://www.kbannon.com/uploads/uploads/Portlaoise.gif
go to multimap for better scale maps

do people want to meet up somewhere on the way? how about near newbridge? (see map here) 9:30?

By the way, the portlaoise motorway bridges are a favourite spot for the gardai to test their speed guns! stick to 70mph!

These directions apply to both North and South bound traffic. The people coming from the Cork side will also find these of use

On the motorway take the Exit for Cork/Port Laoise N8

Head for town centre. When you reach the roundabout ( you will see Statoil and to your right Supermacs and LIDL) turn right onto dual carriageway to next roundabout U turn, pass Supermacs and turn left into road then left into LIDL car park

See you there
