Ring of Kerry run.

Post by kerryminigringo »

Last weekend I took the van to the Ring of Kerry run organised by the KVVCC and the sun was out in force all weekend long.The scenery was out of this world and some lovely cars on it as well.There were a couple of other IMOC members on it and for anyone into vintage cars this is a well organised event.The van performed great up until I put diesel into it but that was the only hickup on the whole trip.
The start in Killarney.

Here is the van back outside the shed in Castlecove were it lay for nearly 40 years.

Fantastic Pictures! I have to say I really enjoyed it too..... and 'Beanie' my mini van drove like a dream....Maybe I will make it to the next mini run. But I will have to sort out my windows and make sure they don't get stuck not funny on such a hot day, especially when the temp gauge isn't working and ya need to put the heater on!!!!!
