Theres been a lot of interest from italian car enthusiasts on arranging another get together this summer. So here is what we have in mind.

Sunday 5th August 2007 (AFAIK thats the bank holiday weekend)

We'll meet in the car park at the Abbey Court hotel in Nenagh, Co Tipperary (just off the N7) on Sunday morning and just chill/talk cars/take photos until we have everybody together.

From here we'll travel to Ballina/Killaloe and stop for a short break/photo opportunity.

We'll then travel onwards to Scariff and then to Mount Shannon where we'll stop for lunch and have time for a walkabout and take in the views.

Then, if we have enough interest, we'll travel onwards to Tynagh Karting Track for a session on the track for all those who are up for it, and the others can spectate/have a laugh.

After this, we'll travel via Portumna to view a private collection of rare cars, kindly permitted by their owner. The collection includes:- Lancia Stratos, Lancia 037, Fiat 131 Abarth, Delta integrale, Peugeot 205T16, amongst others. . .

Then we'll travel via Terryglass, Ballinderry, & Puckane, until we arrive back in Nenagh at the Abbey Court hotel.


So, as you can see, a good spacious meet up point just off the main Dublin-Limerick road, some nice driving roads to give the cars a spin on, beautiful picturesque views of the Irish countryside as most of the drive is by the shoreline of Lough Derg, and a rare opportunity to view some automotive living legends. . . Something for everyone I hope.

We've already had a lot of interest from loads of italian car owners who are up for it and hopefully it will act as a prelude to something much bigger next year.

See you there !

Sounds goods.

I know eyore, darmtb, CK1 and Jason with his wine 16v (the one mentioned on the Terenure thread) are planning to make this, and we should have our own blue 16v there too, so who else is interested in coming along.

So what time are we desending on Nenagh Sunday morning?
CK

I'll be there a little bit shamefaced though as i havent bothered fixing the massive dent in my drivers door in the 8 months since it happened and i wont even have any time to clean it for sunday. Mine is a black LE with non-original wheels on it. I'm bringing original wheels in boot which ive had resprayed and would like to compare colour with someone else. Also i have a 3.0ltr 166 and 1.8ltr 146 to sell so if anyone is interested just ask.

What time are we meeting in Nenagh?

Good day out,loads of Italian cars and 5 coupes,16v,20v,20vt and two LEs. Great to meet old friends and new.

Great day, totally enjoyed it, great bunch of folks. Well done to those who pulled us all togehter.

Big thanks to everybody who turned out on the day, and special thanks to Darren who has supplied me with over 200 pics from the day !! I'll put a link up here when I have them uploaded into an online album.

Here's looking to the next meet. . .things are on the up & up over here.

Looking forward to the next meet already. Had a great day but unfortunatley had to head away early. Next time would be graet to get a pic of all the coops lined up side by side.
Does anyone know who the camera man was on the day? Would be nice to see some vidoe footage up on youtube.
