What about the greyhound track in Bishopstown? Big carpark and it should be quiet then?

Ok maybe another place would be Bishopstown Dunnes Stores carpark at back, should be space there on a Saturday?

Fluffy, good to hear you are travelling down, hopefully more Cork owners will let us know that they will attend.

Do you want to stay in the City or outside the city so we can give better suggestions that suit you?

Suppose outside the city as a start. Somewhere reasonably close (30-50 mins) from where ever the meet point is. I havent been down that end of the country in 10 years so dont know my **** from my elbow when it comes to getting around.

My idea was to get some food and go for a drive anywhere that suits really I'm easy going so whatever ye want to do I'll do. Was thinking of getting a meal if ye where up for that too kinda drive and food thing if ye wish.

I was thinking of heading west like my random drive some great roads down there and fun too.

Re: Meet in Cork in May on the 17th

So shall we confirm the meeting point as the dunnes stores carpark in bishopstown?

The other half decided last night that we are staying in the city so ill just let her find somewhere on the web.

As for the plan, eating and driving: My two favorite things (fat guy with an alfa)

Just got her polybushed at the front last night and the alloys are being ordered today so she should be up for some twisty road abuse next saturday
