Robert's pictures as promised...





















This little 127 (T reg) has only done 800 miles from new - It was for sale on a few web sites recently. Another classic Fiat swims to Ireland - The only explanation I can think of why Fiats from the 70s are so popular now in Ireland is that this was the heydey of Fiat in Ireland and nostalgia is a powerful motivator.?

What do you mean large queues dont bother you?

re-Read my post, 127 broke after 1 hr of queueing, I wasn't going anywhere, didn't get home till 11pm after getting to the field at 11am, AXA breakdown cover was an effing nightmare, car didnt get home till Monday. The biggest problem Durrow has is the Guards will only allow them 1 exit from the field.

BTW big thanks to the lads from Irish Vintage Scene mag for help trying to the 127 mobile and for the lift back home and thanks to Austin from the Durrow club for storage of the car o/night.

I was watching your car from my car & you were a bit more than an hour in the queue shame it broke down its a nice example, but if it hadnt you would still be waiting for 3 hours, dont blame the guards it was the organisers fault putting 7 queues into 1, are you involved with the club?
