I have a suggestion too. There are some AMAZING roads around Kerry/Cork border and wicklow. I went on a road between Laragh and Rathdrum last night and it was absolutely stunning. maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=rathdrum,+wicklow&daddr=Laragh,+Co.+Wicklow,+Ireland&hl=en&geocode=%3BCaE8rEAzMLbBFSjXKAMdaNSf_ylbMw1Wfr1nSDF81ps7rud-MQ&mra=ls&sll=52.960634,-6.240234&sspn=0.102575,0.308647&ie=UTF8&ll=52.969733,-6.26667&spn=0.102554,0.308647&z=12 This is just a small portion of the amazing roads around therel, I would avoid the main roads as much as possible around there. The coast route up through South Dublin is also excellent up through Killiney and Dalkey. |

I'd love to meet for a gathering, we could probably sort one in Belfast if you stayed for a night? Or even during the day?

Jesus! You're coming soon? I remember MM was talking about coming over for a week or too at one stage, it would be deadly if you managed to coincide with him! But anyway, we could probably get a few RR members up for a day, An fear ó dhoire, carmad? Surprising_skoda probably. Whack an event up there sure, I'm probably not the one to organise it really. lol

At dungarven i suggest you take the cork road and skip fermoy/mallow, the cork/killarney road is quite stunning and a lot easier then squeezing through fermoy/mallow. I go all the time to killarney, well worth it, the molls gap to sneem road can be a bit rough (ha!) but the rest is very forgiving.
Don't worry about speed cameras and the guards only pop out when the weathers good on weekends.

yes, i leave in 2 weeks, so indeed 7 and 8 may i'll probably be in Belfast and the weekend in Dublin. Car show sounds great! There is time enough to make an extra stopover day, so a carshow on sunday is brilliant! Wonder if they'll like my crappy Chaser though Now i have to find out how to remember to meet everyone |

Good man, take nothing for granted weather wise but apparently it's supposed to be sunny towards the weekend. But then again, it's Ireland!
Bring a coat
