St stevens day run

Post by joebe1 »

Nearly time to start writin the santy list, but this is on event to mark on the advent calender. Its the second time this event has been run and if last year is anything to go by its set to be a fantastic day out. last yaer we had 12 cars turn up and the craic was mighty.

Same as last year will start at the "ass on the pass" on the sligo road overlooking lough key.

Hope to see as many faces as possible

cheers

These are just a couple of photos from another fantastic stephens day run. We had another good turn out with a strong field of 10 cars with a couple of late cancelations. Very well done to peter with a slippy, bumpy but excellant route

Finally back from wandering around the country over the Christmas, (MTM's don't organise themselves you know :roll: )

Sorry I missed this run this year, but it certainly looks like you had a great time.

Jason, the Clubman looks fab, it's a far cry from the shell you had last March, fancy doing another one before August ???

Well done to all those who took time to organise this event and also to those who took part, roll on the next WR run.
