    Thanks for the warning - I wouldn't let that put you off tho. Hopefully they clear out of the way so people can take pics of the cars...

    Edit: Duh... leaving the strand at 10.30... Must stop speed reading!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    They are parked in the Strand Hotel, i presume until the morning. They are leaving at half 10. Ill be heading over to get some decent pictures when they are leaving.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 422 ✭✭CCSL


    So will be heading out the Ennis road from the Strand.
    You can go down into the carpark to see the cars before they leave. They are at the back of the carpark. Got some nice shots today and am off with them tomorrow to cover the next stage. Will stick up a few shots later.

    They are also coming back through Limerick on the way back to Cork on Sunday
    Stopping at Dromoland at 2:30 so another chance to see them there.
    :cool:

    Delorean beats all , especially if you take it up to 88 MPH .

    when that happens, you're gonna see some serious sh1t...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,279 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    It would probably fall apart to be honest..

    While the DeLorean DMC-12 looks great and has a cult following mainly because of the Back to the Future franchise, it really wasn't a great car especially in the company of some of the others in those photos. The DeLorean was poorly built, not particularly quick, it used a Renault made 2.5 litre V6 engine and the brakes were crap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Didnt know you could turn up in anything, what is an RX-8 doing in the middle of porsches etc?

    Great pics CCL and Melion, thanks. Despite the comments, we don't get many interesting cars in the West of ireland, so this is all good stuff. :)
