Resisting the temptation to be a smart alec here in offering a suggestion! However on a practical level, maybe Toughers on the old dual carriageway from Naas to Newbridge might be an idea. Decent food (a million truck drivers can't be wrong) and a bar. Its close enough to Mondello (near the M7 exit posted for Mondello south of Naas) and obviously is handy enough to get back on there afterwards for those using the M7 home. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

D, just see it like an after work thing. That way it will all work out. By the way engines start at 8:55 and we start driving at 9:00 am so everyone need to be there for 8:30 am. Mondello are booked up again at lunchtime so we don't have spare time. Enjoying the weather over here. I'm camped about 16 km from a US air base. Can't say any more than that. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

A word of warning for those travelling the M50. Seemingly there is a talivan parked along the roadworks possibly around Ballymount. It seems to park itself amongst the workers vans. Speed limit there is 60cliks!

Yes a great days karting, and funny enough I'm glad it rained. Way more fun. I think we will have to try make this a regular thing. Maybe Galway next? Anybody know any other karting tracks around the country? Thanks to everyone who showed up. (Luke, you missed out big time). The racing was really good and the changing conditions gave an extra element of difficulty. (I'll post some pics and video shortly) I'm sure KB will put the results up soon. And speaking of our leader Killian, we were supposed to pay for him. But he got in the door first and paid for himself, and I was going to do a collection in the pub after the karting but only 7 or 8 of us went. So I want EVERY FORUM MEMBER WHO WENT to donate €5 to the site via the "make a donation" button at the top of the page. This will cover the karting. If you don't Killian has agreed to sell your private e-mail addresses to spam and porn sites. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |
