actually looking at the AA routeplanner it is 62.7 miles from newbridge to thurles and takes 1 hour & 24 minutes. I reckon that on a Sunday morning it would take about an hour. |

**** Slight change of plan ****
Not meeting at Horse + Jockey, now meeting at Urlingford Texaco filling station on Cork side. Ger O'Conner reckons better place to meet. Same time as before. You can call Ger at 086 2659211 if any question. Urlingford is closer to Dublin so should make easier to get to |

I can't guarentee getting to meet at the Curragh as I am dependant on another chap getting to me!
If I'm near the Curragh slip road before 9:30 I'll come off to have a look for people - if not, I'll continue on - straight to Urlingford I guess. Ian, will someone be at the H&J to redirect to Urlingford? I think Ger said there would. Good maps btw Killian. |

Hello Everyone Gerard O'Connor here I have joined the forum at last! Now down to the important business The Economy run start is at "Josephines" Restaurant, coffee bar and Texaco petrol station on the Cork side of Urlingford. It is on the Right hand side if coming from Dublin. Urlingford is 24 miles from the N8 exit from the M7 at Portlaoise. Please come in good time before 11 if you are there early say after 10 I will start you early. Remember even though this may be an economy run to finsih in good time a normal driving pace will be needed! You will have an expected finishing time based on your start time. It will not be an unreasonable pace as it based on the my girlfriend driving the route in her Yaris!. She was amazed by the scenery she saw (and some of the roads I have selected!) See you all there Gerard O'Connor 086 2659211 bmw2002_92@yahoo.ie new e-mail address!!! |

Apols all for not turning up. I was heading down when I ran into some trouble. The back box fell the car! I had the exhaust rubbers changed during the week so I think that may have something to do with it. When the exhaust hit the ground, it dented one of the pipes so therefore I couldnt push it back on. Had to wait for the AA to come out and take it off. WHile I was waiting, I noticed the electric fan wasn't cutting ! Double trouble. So I decided to head home just in case. I didnt want to risk siting in traffic with no way if cooling the car! Anyhows its back with the garage and I should have it back tomorrow evening.
Sorry I missed it. PS Brendan I had the glove box with me. I will be in the liffey valley area next saturday if you want to hook up. |

Second Killian's comments.
Pity about Derek & Eamo. It was a real laugh. Eamo, I had to get a latch in the meantime! Thanks anyway. |

Sorry we missed it! Looking at those scores I'd have definately set some sort of record...... Not sure mine has a gear that actually runs at 30? |

Derek, What are they checking? I going to have mine checked over before going down to the Alps and have been looking for a checklist. I had thought that the Inspection 1 would be the thing to go for but then thought it was a bit over the top considering it had an Oil service less than 2k miles ago. |
