A huge thank you to all the club members that took the time and effort to display their cars at TG live.A fanastic display of variants,all looking well polished and a great advertisment for the club and that fact that there were cars from all over Ireland makes it even better.Each and everyone of ye did the club proud and the number plates were a great idea as well.Even Joe Whytes mini had a shine off it. :mrgreen:


Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Tom Heavey from Irish Vintage Scene rang me last night to ask if any of the Mini owners were around at 4pm on Sunday at the Minis that he would take a photo for the magazine. I explained we couldn't take the cars till later that night but if anyone is near the RDS, perhaps they could make there early.

Thanks,

Billy (up early cos I'm off to Kenmare with Neil for the day)

Sunday at Top Gear Live

Post by Tony Cooney »

I was at a classic car meet in Carrickmines this morning with my black Austin Princess and decided to pop into the RDS on the way back for a browse.
The Minis on the IMOC were getting LOTS of attention. :D

I was chatting with Tom Heavy and Carl Kzanik from Irish Vintage Scene and Carl offered to take a pic of me with my Mini for me-thanks!!
As I had to head off at 3pm for dinner I wasn't around for the magazine photoshoot so hopefully some of yee managed to make it.

There was a lull in the crowds at one stage so i managed to snap a few pics of our line up.

Hi Guys
Collected my car last night and met up with a few lads also heading home to Limerick.
I hope the show went well and has given the club some major PR / exposure .

Regards
Brian
