Irish Italian Day Outing 5th Aug. - 18/06/2007 17:26
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.
