Absolutely I'll be in both those days, if you're around drop us a PM sure!

I hate that fcuking car.. It looks ridiculous and the paintwork is about as faded....as an red Alfa should be. I pride myself on having one of the nicer 156's around the campus...:pac:

Well I'm around at night, 6 on Monday and 8 on Wednesday so chances are you'll be home at that time, let me know if you're late either day though.

Haha, yeah I thought you might. The thing is proper rough looking.
You should park beside him, give him something to aspire to.

Edit: if you're uses to the church and how packed it gets, you should appreciate this.

yeah, WIT, if you can call it that. dept of architecture is shipped off to the other side of the city

do you be down this way often? wouldn't mind another get togeter in less rushed circumstance. i think gollywog is still in and out, a pm would get him id say.

Yeah same with DIT in Dublin, all different places around the city centre. It's handy having everything under one roof tbh

I could well be down that way at any stage, often spin down towards Arklow and further for the spin so I'm sure I'll be down around the end of May after final exams?

I'm in late on Monday too, bloody Maths Economics! I'll send you a PM or whatever suits, you can have a look at the 156 if you want!

I will indeed park beside the git the next time! Flat red and Alfa Romeo does not compute!

Well, to be fair the UCD campus isn't far off the size of area DIT is spread over. The only difference is, you're dodging orange headed, hair sprayed wannabes instead of skobies.

Nah you're right on both counts, we also have NCPS to put up with too though... Bunch of 'insert derogatory words here'...

UCD is going all paid parking next year and while it's only 50c an hour it does add up if you're there 40 hours a week...:o

Well if there is going to be and it's around Dublin/Wicklow/Wexford I'd love to be included/ show up and annoy you all :D

Ick! That sounds businessy, the last thing you'd find me studying.
Yeah, sure I can come out a bit earlier on Monday and we can around each others cars.
I'll throw you a PM to sort it out.
I'm going to apply for UCD with the DARE Scheme this year so I may be around a lot more next year.

Nah you're not invited sorry!
















Of course man I'm kidding!, end of May sounds good, I'm not too great on where the best driving roads are but sure a convoy of a few of us could head to Courtown or wherever? Good weather and some nice pictures would be nice alright. Nice way to finish the exams for me anyway!

The more the merrier!

we had one in Courtown this time last year, was nice. i'm flat out the next week or two with hand ups, but maybe we should post a thread and organise something for say a months time? same location maybe, it was nice down there.

:pac:

Sure whenever would suit everyone else with exams etc, I'm easy.

Toyotafanboi

166, ded zebra, dgt and myself, bit of interest already could be a good one if we get a few more on board!

would you all prefer a weekday evening or a weekend day?

CianRyan

Weekday evening and I'm down too, otherwise just ignore this post and I'll catch you again.

Evening, midday or morning actually.
I'll only be dodging going on a run. Haha

dgt

End of May, exams are over for me so I'm easy

166man

Im easy as well but end of May is preferable due to exams. Weekend of Weekday won't bother me either...:)

Here's a pic from last years mini meet

My exams are just kicking off then. Earlier or later would suit me better. If it's in the evening I can make it

166man

I wouldn't be able to do the 15th unfortunately, smack in the middle of exams, I finish the 18th anyhow and the Alfa's supposed to fail go through the NCT on the 20th so preferably any time after the 18th and I'm good to go.

@SG you can't come because your car is too powerful!

Middle of exams for me...!

Toyotafanboi

i'l let you fight amongst yourselves for a date so. perhaps later in the month then so as to not interfere with exams! should we post a thread, or does this need "the nod from a mod"

Ded_Zebra

Just checked there and my exams aren't over until the 24th :eek::eek::(

But, I have nothing between the 16th and the 22nd.....

It's amazing what 150m of cling film can do....presented with a puncture... Karma really does exist and it's quick too! :pac:

Such a childish thing to do.
Well done Karma.

Depending on the turnout and the weather on the day it might be very busy around there.... If it is I suppose we could go up to the big car park at the pool?
