Big shout out to Archie
I have been trawling the net for ideas and cars and came across dub-nation.com
One of their meets was on a beach, which gives me an idea, when the summer rolls in how about a shoot on the beach? I have attached a few pictures which I think are class and on a rare sunny day I think you (Archie) could get some nice pictures. Anyway I dont know if you know of Dollymount (Aka the mount, the dollier, the open sewer, the great car grave yard in the sea, the northsiders open air bath or the used French letter sorting office)
Have a look and try not to get jealous of the sun and sand.

Donabate, can be a good spot at times. I could talk to the neighbours about gettign onto the private bit infront of my place if the tide is out???

Just got the laptop back off the wife, she was looking at DOORS, random or what.
Hey John that would be great if the west wing beach area of your property could be used, will you have the pet Dolphins put in their hutches?, pen's?, stables? I wouldn't like the sound of the cars to annoy them.
LOL
Beach at your front!!! your house on cribs???
Yeah I know I'am jealous the only attempt at a beach at my house is the kids sand pit.

Yeah I learnt how to drive there too, I also taught a few ladies how to drive down there if you no what I mean, nod nod wink wink humana humana click click.
Ok just the wife (then girl friend), hope she doesnt secretly be on vag drivers when I am in work she will kill me.
Lets shelve the idea until weather gets a bit better, BTW I will not be responsible for sand in your hard to reach places. that sounds rude not meant to be.
@ John, que the cribs theme "this is the house that funk built"

Between Dollier and Baldoyle Ind Est, thats where I learnt to drive, Baldoyle Ind Est was the nearest to Sutton that you could get a real road to drive on, where the place was full of people being taught how to drive, it was classic feckers bunny hopping all over the place and nearly cleaning trucks out of it.

Regarding the ladies, one word, the summit in Howth

LOL, No no my bit's nothing special no cribs place trust me!
The area infront of the house is no longer maintained as a beach area so it's kinda overgrown with grass and all that,
but the folks down the road used to keep there's very clean for the kid's to play on, dunno if they still do but I'll check today it's a great backdrop aswell as it looks out toward the malahide marina....lovely at night

That was busy weekend . Starts back on friday evening .
We head on to Swors airside shopping center to get set of nice wheels of user named "rieger".
They are 16x9" ET 35 . Closely have look on them , try them on , share the cash and drive home .
round 11pm my friend arrive in to my place and we start fitting those wheels on his vento . Car was so low that we have to rise the susspension up about 2".
Image
we have to take of each wheel 3 times to get it right . We finish at 3.30am .
Have look on that

and stay tuned to check up on the Neilo's Leon cupra photo session and some pics from spin to Bettystown beach
