Is there a calendar or something you folks keep a track of? How are you informed on the upcoming events?

It's mostly cars and coffee. First Sunday of every month. Find out if there is one local to you by googling cars and coffee Dublin if you are from Dublin or surrounding areas. If not google the same but the city nearest to you.

I used to have a Google calendar with Irish events on it, I've been busy with college the last 3 years and haven't been keeping on top of it.

I'll post some dates of shows later today, just need to do gym and kids healtcheck first...

Marlow

Dublin & Limerick: 1st Sunday of every month
Cork & Galway: 2nd Sunday of every month

Athlone used to be 3rd Sunday of the month and will be restarting soon again.

There is a good few more around the country.

There is a facebook group for these, but you have to actually attend a meeting first and approach an organiser to get on that.

Dates and locations are also often posted on backroads.ie

One thing to note: unsocial behavior, burn outs and bad behavior when arriving, while at the meet or leaving will get you told not to come back and will be reported to the Garda. These events can not exist, when people are pulling stunts.

Someone should tell that to the organisers at Junction 14. I went once, never again.

There also some surprise events that I will probably find out about 2 days before they start. There is also many more events on Irish calendar, so many classic car shows but I don't think they would be worth to visit unless they accross the road from you. There is also Northern Ireland and I'm not into calendar from there but I believe you can find some more than two I post supercars event. Also thinkgs like 'collection days' of Ferraris, Astons and other supercars followed by drive with clubs are the days I have no idea about and only seeing photos day after it happened. I'll try to visit at least 6 events in Ireland not including Cars & Coffee and I've planned 4 abroad trips including 7 different events. Hope I help yous a bit with your calendars...

Is this the big one in Limerick, McManus brings a good few from his collection? Saw photos here after it happened last year and was annoyed I didn't hear a thing about it, definitely would've gone along had I known.

McManus brings one or two cars to every single Limerick Cars and Coffee.

The "Limerick Classic Car Show" is pre-dominantly a VW show, but it also has vintage. And yes .. McManus would bring a bunch of his. He's not afraid to drive them, nor bring them out ... which is a real good thing.

Marlow, could you PM me when the Athlone C&C starts again and also the location of the Dundalk C&C. I've added a few dates to the calendar but don't know the locations for all.

On a different note and no pics (sorry) did anyone happen to spot the black Aventador today? I passed it on Gardiner Street just beofre 11am, no pics as I was on the bike and he went the opposite direction.

Jozi - it might be a good idea to start a whole new thread for that.
