RMS drive- 4th August

[Cooper]

Created a poll for people to get voting

@chris_b If stena come back to Cooper with a deal a Scottish run would definitely be a goer. Failing that something down south, even a Wild Atlantic Way run would be class. If it didn't suit the masses on this occasion, i'd say you could get a decent crowd of members who would be up for a couple days long run at some other stage.

Let me know if there are any other routes people would like included in the options

I have heard nada! Will chase them up. Don’t hold your breath!

Sure there was a load of hype about same thing last year and then all of a sudden it was glossed over probably for insurance reasons and the legalities involved in northern ireland holding a meeting with more than 12 participants

We did a run last year was good craic.

Yea not sure what you are referring too ? Plenty of RMS runs over the summer and they are usually great craic

 

[pablo]

Just to add none are officially sanctioned by RMS

I do good @Cooper?

 

[RoniN]

Sure there was at least three great runs last year that I remember.

Halliday's of Bushmills where @Woodcutter did a BBQ.
The Sprucefield to Mount Stewart and onto Trackskills day at Kirkistown.
There was another run to Halliday's of Bushmills.

Three great days and the weather played ball too.

Cheers

I might be up for this if I am still in the country on that date. Pity I don't have the Datsun as its much better at long runs than the Civic. Will wait and see which route is chosen.

 

[Turks]

I won’t be at this, as I’ve nothing worthy to take to it. I voted the Subaru run as it was a good run to do when I had the Impreza back then.

So just confirming this is happening before I book the Sunday off work and did we decide a route?

 

[Cro]

Yes Dave def going ahead and looks like the public have spoken.

PM me your email address and I'll forward on the full route details I received. The organisers broke it down into sections, you can see what you think.

Well the popular opinion is out and the route is heading north

Start point is the applegreen just past sandyknows in Glengormley.
Meet at 11am and aim to leave at 11.15

Finish point will be hallidays that Jamie has kindly offered to open up for us and he’s going to try and get a coffee/ food van

This will not be a coast run I promise.
I’ll upload the route when I’m home next Tuesday and then I’ll know a rough arrival time up at Jamie’s.
The sand keeps getting in my phone, the glare from the sun makes it hard to see and all the cocktails are making my fingers sticky so I apologise for that

Big thanks to Sonny and Jamie for the help so far

Are the roads on that run decent enough @Sonny ? I smacked the bottom of the Mx5 a couple of times the other week round some of the little winding back roads in the Ards peninsula, don't really fancy that again lol Should be fine if it's all main roads

Will know more once we have defined it. The notes mentioned above do include notes for any obvious issues for low cars.

 

[Crow555]

Sounds like this will be a good trip. Just wish I was in a state to join in. Hope it goes well.

 

[Chris tii]

I’ll hopefully be there in the Z3m Coupe.

 

[Cro]

What do we think lads. Happy enough?

Looks great, just noticed the road to waterfoot from Ballymena is included! Great road, done in the truck a few times, be more interesting in a car lol

Definitely going to try and make this!

So it’s the road beside the coast road??
Should be able to make it on Sunday, enjoyed the run out last year.

 

[NickR]

I'm not far from Stranocum, might tag along from somewhere around there.

 

[ace275]

I happen to be collecting a CL500 on Saturday 3rd, might take it

 

[Neil_M]

I might try to make this. Sunday's weather is looking dry too.

 

[Gaz86]

Provided I get my power steering pump and radiator replaced on Saturday I'm in
