Irish sports day out

[ros]

 Mirafiori sport owners, how about a day out in the midlands, possibly in the slieve blooms (County Laoise) in the not too distant future. It would be nice to get the majority of Irish sports to congregrate for pics and scenic run. Location & date to be confirmed.  Any interest out there??

Great idea I am up for it but could we include every old and modern Fiat to ever have sport or sporting put on it as there is acinquecento sporting club who might join in as these are young people who have embrassed the idea of sporting Fiats and who be future 131,124 and 127 owners as there are some wicked driving roads up my way (sleive Bloom national park)

Unless i can load my car on a truck it wont be there Ha Ha Ha Lol, well not this year anyhow, great idea i will be there but not in a sport.

Well I might have the exxie going if my programmable ecu is ready but is rear wheel drive and a turbo a safe mix for me but can we have the more modern sportings along as I have some interest from the cinquecento crew

I'm up for this as long as the weather is not too bad - The planned scenic route will be invisible if the rain rolls in I understand. - Otherwise sounds like the makings of a good days driving.

Bren - Do you plan to provide an update on whether it goes ahead late on Saturday, depending on the weather forecast..? 

[brensport]

Yes Kev, I will put a posting on here to confirm or cancel when I get the weather forecast on Saturday, for Sunday's weather. Alternatively if your in any doubt whether the event is going ahead or not, ring me on one of the numbers above before you start your travel. Regards Brendan.
