Hopefully won't have to. E guy I'm meeting is coming from cork and I thin Nenagh and Portlaoise are roughly the same time to travel from horse and jockey

Yeah they would be about the same alright. Much better road to Portlaoise though haha

The horse and jockey is just 2 mins out the road from my house.

Any objections to someone coming on 2 wheels. Tax out too long on Z1 to chance bringing it out even though it's only 5 minutes to Midway.

As far as I know, homotorcyclists are welcome too

Afraid a brush was would only skim the surface of the dirt at the minute!

Straight road bit out of the way id say so may have to go dirty Wouldn't mind but I went to a local place this evening but it was closed.

There is an attended car wash not too far from where we are meeting in Mahon, drive on past halfords etc and turn left at the junction not too far out the road, think its a texaco filling station. I'm going to take a chance on them being open in the morning. I got the car washed there the week before last and they did a very good job.

Matt Simis

If I can get my Hydrogen generator installed into the 540i tomorrow morning, Ill drive it down to this too. Just waiting on the Tec7 to cure overnight.
:cool:

johnos1984

And all late at night not a creature was stirring except the integra whose engine wis firing

robbie_998

i will be tired at this.... work til 3 - bed at 4



if anyone finds me asleep at the poitin stil asleep in the car you may beep me or do the garda knock on a window !

Quazzie

I'll be there but my car won't. I locked my keys in the boot of my car.


On a related note, Gary ITR and DrummerBoy08 are bastards.

Yeah know the one - on Skehard road. Now that I think of it, maybe crystal clean in Mahon Point might be open.

As i said, I was going to go them this morning but I found out that they use sponges to wash the cars. No thanks!

dahamsta

Crysyal Clean are arasholes. The lad in Topaz on the Blackrock Road is great if you don't have time to wash it yourself; I took my bus there last week and he did a better job than I'd do myself in the same time. Give him a couple quid for his trouble when you're done, so he'll keep it up.

Used them before on my rover 75...... Oh dear! They could hardly **** up a simple exterior wash though. Right?

We use them all the time, probably due to convienience though. I have seen a couple of full valets and the quality is poor.

Nice dark skys above portlaoise, Bring a jacket folks.

Doesn't every car wash use sponges at some point when washing the car? I've never used one that doesn't.

Yawn ..:... Car really messy

Maybe but it's very bad for your paintwork. Tiny bits of dirt stay on the surface that's cleaning the car and causes swirls. I never use anything only lambs wool mits and lances.

At least with a brush it's not so bad but I'd never use a brush all the same.

Gary ITR

Myself. Quazzie and drummerboy have to take a detour, do we'll miss the Dublin convoy

dar83

I'll be leaving for this shortly. Kept my name off the list in case of potential Friday night plans, but nothing materialised.

Won't make the Poitin Stil for 11 but shouldn't be too late to Midway.

Hope I can find you guys... :P
