Hey Shinzon,

Have your own Cannonball moment by downloading the theme music, playing it in your Nissian Micra and then buying a SoundRacer device to give your Micra the thrilling sound of a powerful Super Sports Car engine.

kevthefonz

even though its for a good cause, (Barrettstown) this event is populated by complete w****rs if other years are anything to go by. Shame, some serious machinery on show otherwise if you can see past the sea of ego that surrounds them!:D

seanybiker

Clamp em all. And for God's sake hide the angle grinders!

STOLEN_REWARD

what time is it at?

fbrophy

The convoy will arrive in the city between 2:15 and 2:30pm. They will move in convoy up the Quay and then Park on both sides of The Mall from Lombard Street to Catherine Street

They will depart between 4:15 and 4:30pm via the Cork Road.

old gregg

whatever about the cars and charity and other peripheral issues, what time does Georgia arrive?

Paddy@CIRL

They've raised over €230,000 for Barretstown to date and are hoping to increase that figure to €380,000 after the next event. All the staff of the Cannonball are volunteers so I just can't get my head around why people would hold such a grudge against the event for no apparent reason ? Asides from jealousy I suppose ...

seanybiker

Paddy. Learn how to read.
Where did anyone say charity is bad? We are laughing at these so called celebrities. Jesus

Paddy@CIRL

HOW DARE YOU START ON JESUS' CELEB STATUS !



I was more aiming my post at Hoffmans, who seems to be upset by all the 'knob racers' who are 'hiding behind the flag of some charity' and how they are destroying the lives of the 'ordinary' motorist.

I think it's a great opportunity for people to bring themselves and their kids along to see some incredible cars up close and personal, which doesn't happen every day. It's also raising awareness for Barretstown which is a fantastic charity and one I've been involved with in the past.

seanybiker

Hahaha yeah sorry about poor jebus.

That's a fair point

Anything that raises awareness and money is good in my books.
I know where the other fellas coming from though, meh shag it.
Stopping the traffic is a balls but as I said before, lads get a fecking bike. Not half as much traffic and you'll be cool like me hahaha.
