Kilbroney 2018

[Artoir]

i think the rainfall will have caused issues with the field and thats the concerning bit for me. yeah it could be OK getting in (using the path up through the park) but parking and getting out again may be the issue and with RWD and sports tyres on the NSX I don't think this will be a goer for me. I amy still try to attend the event to support the organisers as they put on a great show

I'll have the RR and a tow rope ye big girl's blouse.

I jest, can't see a great turn out honestly. I'd have thought most classic owners would have their cars wrapped up for winter already. Will stick take a run over if it's not lashing.

The weather here is such a PITA. Last year it was brilliant with a good turn out of cars.

In other countries you can plan stuff and be pretty sure it will all be hunky dory!

They have been super unlucky with the weather given that last week was lovely...typical!!

Mine would usually be SORNed this week and put away for Winter, the only reason im not is because ive done no shows and very little miles so im hoping for a few nice days to get a run out before i put it away. Kilbroney is near a 3 hour round trip for us so not exactly handy, dont fancy the idea of spending a week cleaning the car afterwards lol

Was going to say, the weather last Saturday was great! Shame!

I'm working in the morning, but if its dry enough I'll head down! Be heading to the legenderry show on Sunday also!

Gutted the weather is bad again, been getting my golf cabrio somewhat presentable the past few days for it.

 

[Cossers]

Id say thon we coffee shop at the top of the hill will be rightly packed if it does go ahead!

 

[BarryPort]

Gutted. This is the first time I’ve ever been off for this & it’s just not worth the jaunt for that weather.

 

[ilovequo]

Had the Merc entered but headed to Donegal with the Mrs instead...
The weather tipped me over the edge but the queues were ridiculous last time I went, one entrance open on the way in sounds like a disaster!

 

[AMG]

I can't see it going ahead to be honest, but have Corsa sitting ready to go anyway, not as if it's that far for me anyway. Will walk home if car gets stuck!!!

 

[heavyoilhenry]

I'm going to give it a miss as well, will be a pure quagmire after all that rain.

 

[southsky sunrise]

Might take Recovery truck down instead if it goes ahead, winch from the top of the hill

 

[Bryan]

I'm still in two minds what to do. I haven't got anything cleaned and it's a mission to get them both cleaned and polished plus I don't think there is enough time tonight to get them done before it gets dark now either. They're 4wd so the muck doesn't really matter lol

 

[chrisd1]

Such a shame, but that's the weather, nothing we can do other than move it indoors... Won't be going myself, it'll be a muddy mess

 

[design1]

Was lookong forward to this but looking at the rain now outside il not be there.maybe next year all being well

 

[cormac81]

Im going to chance it and go up...

2 1I Was speaking to some guys who were setting up a club stand last night who said the ground was in much better shape than they expected.

 

[Cossers]

anyone there yet? What’s the ground /turn out like??

 

[Bryan]

I'm heading down later will probably be down that direction from about 11.30 or so. A friend of mine is already there and says the turnout is pretty good with a steady stream coming in the gates.

 

[cormac81]

anyone there yet? What’s the ground /turn out like??

Bit muddy on the way in. You enter from the very top then leave by the bottom gate.

No mudfest yet.

 

[Nicky]

A lot of classic vehicles away through Ballynahinch there when I was in the town. It seems like the weather hasn’t put everyone off anyway...

 

[design1]

My mates up there today with his mr2 he said its a brilliant day .wish now id have went .

 

[Cossers]

Really great turn out and only the odd shower! Glad I went

 

[cormac81]

We had a great day and no traffic to contend with in the way. Fair play to the organisers making it work despite the recent weather

 

[Bryan]

There were some real nice motors there that I've never seen before. Really glad I went. I counted at least 4 MK3 Cortinas and you rarely see one at any show.
