Will see ye all there, Gilli Hey,whereabouts in Meath are ya?
quickrack Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 I asked the mags for a mention.Didnt someone say they would check over the place. How did that go? I know of a Lancia/Fiat Twin Cam powered MK11 Escort but its a rally car!
Gilli Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Fiat powered Mk1...?? That sound a strange combo..?? Tell me more? Bit of a strange combo alright! Engines out of a fiat 131, bored out to 2.2, all steel bottom end as standard, is chassis mounted and moved back bout 3/400mm. Putting out around 160-170hp at the moment but has been dyno'd at 185hp. She's a bubble arched, LHD, big tunnels,big brakes, caged etc too. Theres a full spec list and photos in Readers Rides... I'm not too far from Trim so Athlone is a great excuse for a drive!
killer Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 Sounds interesting...! I have been checking it out as I only live 10 minutes from there... There is a few possibles... First, in front of the carphone warehouse Second, between woodies and Mcd's there is a decent few spaces which doesnt fill up until afternoon.. so for those of us few who are early could convniently park awkwardly holding up spaces for others... How does that sound..?
quickrack Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Posted February 6, 2007 If all the spaces fill up and more we go for a cruise (few laps) round the bypass
paulfl Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 This meet is posted on a lot of other fourms and is attracting a lot of attention. Reckon there will be quite a few there!!

killer Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 How ye lads , what kind of numbers do ya think ye'll get. I'm in Galway an thinking of comin down to it . What time around is it startin. Definitely come one down as your only over an hour away... There is a huge interest gathered for this meet. Some very rare cars appearing. Hopefully expecting 40 + cars... From new to old... Oh and bring your mates...!
Gilli Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Has anyone seen the weather forecast for Sunday...? Not looking too good- Heavy showers in the morning becoming more persistent in the afternoon Hope it doesn't put too many off coming down. As Billy Connolly said theres no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes
killer Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 I wouldnt worry too much about it..!! As somebody else on a different site said that they cant predict tomorrows weather let alone a few days in advance...!!
