Good stuff lads, would be nice to have a mini convoy going over
Im also looking for a passenger to head over with, but none of my mates seem interested in spending 3/4 days looking at 50 S2000's

Oops, just realised I hadnt booked work off for this yet - it was the Ireland Drive I'd booked a day off for! Request submitted now though.

@Tom/others going - I wonder is there any sensible way of doing Friday - Sunday without having to get a 10am Ferry on Sunday morning?

P&O have a Ferry from Liverpool to Dublin on Sunday night(if you got the 3:30pm Douglas-Liverpool) but its an 8hour jobby! I guess If I slept I could hop off the boat and be in work in a couple of minutes from Dublin port though... park in the car park & sleep another couple of hours... a lot of travel time though for one weekend...

Yep the ferry on Sunday is very early, would coming back on the Belfast ferry on Monday leaving at 13.45 be any good to you? It does mean another day of work of course, which might not suit

Quick question lads. Anyone happen to know the going rate for Honda OEM 17s through a dealer? Or failing that a website or shop where i can pick up some nice wheels. The winter has really taken it's toll on my 16s.

Not trying to be lazy,I've already looked but most of the Irish websites I see don't really cater for cars that need a staggered setup, and most of the wheels I'm not into anyway. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Cheers

I'd honestly say that if you try getting home on the sunday through the Uk via Liverpool or Holyhead, your going to near on double the price

This is the reason I was trying to find an option for coming home on the Sunday...

May just have to bite the bullet....

Best place is probably the for sale section on here or else the states for sales section but be weary of import duty if your buying from there....

Oh, and does anyone have any other interesting driving trips planned? Possibly further afield?

I'd love to take the S on a good trip, but most of my friends are either not interested or can't afford it.

Maybe to the Ring, with some interesting stuff along the way? I unfortunately need to plan soon in order to organise work.
Would like to venture into Europe again this year so will just have to wait and see....
