interested in knowing about the username andy_intel Leixlip?
Yea, Andy works in Leixlip and I work across the road from him. There must be about 10 S2000s around Leixlip and Celbridge, I see them all the time. People I don't know from here/Octane either(!) Think there has been a large number brought in from the UK in the last year or so.

The sixth Cars & Coffee of 2011, Cherrywood Business and Tech. Park, will take place on Sunday morning, July 3rd, meeting anytime from 10.30am onwards.
Take exit 16 from the M50, and follow the road to the complex, park up in the large car park opposite the Spar store on the immediate right upon entering the gate.
This venue so far has proven to be a great success, it is quiet on a Sunday morning, with minimal public traffic, and we have the permission and blessing of both the site security, and store owner.
Take care on the approach road to the complex, it is a three lane road, and very easy to break the limit(60km/h) but it is often policed with speed traps.

Think myself and Andy are literally round the corner from you if your shop is over beside the astro pitches.

That white one is owned by one of the guys on our fb page; https://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=85792554421

Think theres 3 different white ones around this area, then Toms isnt much further away. Ha, as I said the place is infested with them, think white is ironically the most common colour over here now too! xD

Hi Guys,
If anyone would be interested in having a club stand at the Irish Festival of Speed please let me know asap

The Irish Festival of Speed will celebrate the Engine in all its facets – Racing Cars (past and present) Rally Cars, Motorbikes, Air Displays and more.

The idea is the brainchild of a group of like-minded motorsport and motoring enthusiasts who wanted to bring to Ireland a “Goodwood” style Festival of Speed (which is attended by over 100,000 people annually) to Ireland.

In addition it will commemorate the rich racing heritage of the region, in particular the 75th anniversary of the 1936 Limerick Grand Prix.

The quaint village of Adare and the grounds of the 5-Star Adare Manor Hotel was chosen as the perfect location for the event. In keeping with the venue the event will be a first class one, particularly in the quality of our competition and display cars as well as the numerous family attractions.

Cars were lookin well lads:





Lookin forward to the next one. Are these year round daily drivers or do they just come out for the summer? Putting some serious thought into either selling the bmw to pick one up or hanging onto it and picking up an older AP1 for summer use

Pretty sure all of us drive the cars year round. Mine has seen sun, snow and everything in between. If you decide to get one as a second car, make sure you have a good handle on the insurance cost, as quotes are typically extortionate. Apart from that they're not a particularly expensive car to own. Give me a shout if you want a closer look at mine, I live nearby.
