Since Bimmerfest was canceled we have decided to hold a show of our own and would like to welcome EVERYONE from here to come along... It's the same weekend as Bimmerfest was meant to be. Its short notice but hopefully we will have PBMW and Modified Motors in attendance as well...If anyone is interested in stands etc... then please come on across to http://www.ni-bmw.co.uk - www.ni-bmw.co.uk and get your name down...We want to make this a regular event and would love to have BMW's from all over the Ireland and beyond attending... Location: Allen Park Rugby Grounds Antrim Cheers Phil -------------

Phil, 'hope you don't mind me interjecting?!, your directions were clear enough, but would it not be better for the guys from the South to give Belfast a miss altogether. If they turned off the A1 at sprucefield, and headed up the M1 to Moira, and then went up the A26 to Nutts Corner, and then on to Antrim, they'd only have 3 straight roads to use - very little chance to lose their way, and probably quicker, too. Just a thought. Stephen |

Also don't forget that dual carriageways are 70mph unless otherwise
stated. Also I have rarely seen a speed trap along the Newry-Belfast
route so if you do accidentally creep up to 71mph you will probably be
alright!
