Don't think there's any done yet

Ill be heading from Dublin on the Sunday morning

 

I would like to remind people that if you are travelling in convoy, you are doing so as individuals and not as part of this site.

We do not condone these convoys to and from meets and shows.

There is way too much messing and bravado that goes on during these convoys.

We want to see everyone get to and from the show/meet safely in one piece and without the escort of the Garda/PSNI.

Thanks

Neilc

 

^^^^ very true, Im all for heading up with a few others as long as there is no acting the big fella flying past everyone else, il leave that to other irish sites!

 

how early are people heading up ?? what time would you need to be there at ?

the 9 piece breakfast in the M1 service stations would do any man for the day

 

You never told me bout that

You heading up on your own? I'm going up Sunday morning also and was wondering if a few people are meeting somewhere before?

I know Vagdrivers as a whole doesn't condone the convoys but I'm yet to go to any meet and this is my first show so it'd be nice to meet a few people beforehand

Check the back of your licence, a mate of mine was on a provisional up north and he had a small tip in a carpark. It turned out he wasnt insured to drive outside the republic

 

11am arrival at the show is too late, regardless of whether you are inside or outside. Latest is 10.30am
