Miall108

What do you think of it? Does it draw out a lot of riff raff from all corners of the country?

Yeh I very much get the impression it is a very working class kind of event which tends to draw in a lot of wasters and boy racers as you said

Plenty of boy racers aspire to to be (and a lot think they're as good as) rally drivers so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that they go to rallies. Anyway it's a spectator sport.

Would you prefer if it was a load of golfers in their Pringle sweaters and bank managers in their suits attending? Sure you wouldn't be able to move without tripping over A4's and A6's.

Makes no difference to me. I just want to hear what peoples opinions are of the actual event and of those who attend

Most boy racers know very little about the actual rally

Id agree with you there

Remember years ago traveling home to Kerry one weekend, not realising the rally was on. Had been wondering why there was so many spoiler ****boxs around (while I myself was driving an old yet elegent 93 vectra!). Some if them pulling stupid manoeuvres.

Got a good laugh seeing 7 pulled in row on the side of the road after limerick.

Most were fine though. Had a skyline behind for ages. Guess he wasn't in a rush as he could have passed whenever he wanted.

Apparently there was a much greater Garda presence this year and less messing as a result.

Whatever about *some* of the idiots driving them, the Lakes weekend brings some of Ireland's finest road cars out

What date is the rally on this year? I want to book an apartment down there again.

Working class = wasters?
Jesus wept.

Most rally drivers would be from wealthy backgrounds by the way. Not many working class people can afford to go rallying.

All tis is civics with big exhausts. Some lads have a few clean twin cams. Then they meet up and do nothing only talk sh#te about their car instead of doing anything

Know plenty of them from farming backgrounds, working in factories, on bulding sites and the like.

But the better ones, the ones who take it seriously, are often people involved in the motor trade, because as you say it's a bloody expensive sport.

I'm from Killarney, not a fan! Actually the rally itself I don't mind. My brother is friends with a lot of rally drivers and I would know them too. Good craic getting up at the crack of dawn watching them.

It's the feckin boy racers that I can't stand! The sound of their cars scares my dog and does my head in.

You get all sorts at rallies. I love the spectacle but hate the shenanigans.

Goodwood ftw :pac:

It's my ambition to get to the Isle of Man TT at some stage.
