Meeting St Columbas College

Checked weather forecast - rain to finish around 9 am, not so on the northside so left the hood up and off I went to get money and petrol for my foray over the Southside, was to leave at 8:30 that crept out to 8:40 then other obstacles like guy in garage asking about 'age of car' didn't go the M50 so 101 traffic lights interfered with what should have been a 33 minute journey, no matter didn't miss the meeting which was short and to the point - biggest bombshell (for me) Cecil is resigning as Club Treasurer, but thankfully for the club Derek Keogh is taking on his responsibilities for the moment. Then off to the show which was €15 entrance and the only freebies were bikkies with you tea/coffee for €2.

So here's a few "pickie wickies" - and judge for yourself

The guy at the back left - no not a new member and the guy in the distance back right ?? - basically I should have cropped photo before posting

this is a case of 'sacrilage' - Frank did a beautiful job on a spitfire years ago which he sold - but you have to admit he did a good job on this 'car' too bad enough using this photo but to type MG - aaaaargh !!

This is the real deal - a Dolomite Sprint and original Irish too being kept company by Damian's 1850HL - need I say more

Nobody around to ask about this car ?

Left in gear with the handbrake on - still to be sure to be sure enlisted the help of the stones

A "blower" of the first order - 2 spare wheels and extra large drum brakes !!!

A left hooker gull wing, now thats opulence

A Mark I Cooper S - extensive rally history - would you pay €40,000 for this ?

A good selection of cars and the showery weather probably kept a lot more a home as there was loads of space, last car in was an Austin Healy at around 3 pm - we had been there since 10:15

Nice to see you all again. Not a bad show... ham sandwiches were lovely... but did anybody notice... not one Morris Minor!
