Last Tuesday night I was tripping the route for a run on 4th of July. We joined up to the end of a convoy of 9 minis as I was comming onto the N71 in Ballinscarthy village they were heading for Bandon or Cork. We followed them for a while but then went on our own bussiness, I reckon they were mainly UK or Northern regs becuase I could see yellow plates in the distance.Anyone seen this group or know where they were going?

Seen a wine 98-G reg yesterday on the way out to Ennis. Seen it again this this morning in a house just across the road from 1973 (Dean). Also seen a sportspack red with white roof and stripes. 00-Ls reg. I think it was the girl from Shannon who done the MtM2009.
