<< < (5/7) > >>

Brian:
Hi Fred,
Keith is talking about British built 1950's engines  :D .
A more likely risk is of it breaking and dropping on the road as you drive along.
Have a good look as it may just be a hole. French metal in Irish weather

Fred:
Hi Brian,

True, even more, Keith might been talking about a Model T, who knows!  :P  :lol:  :lol:

Hmmm, I cannot weld it, I have nothing to do that, and Killaloe is a bit far from base if I have a problem with the car!  :!:  :!:

That's it, I'm P*** off!  :evil:

French cars, definitively not used to that much humidity!  :lol:

Happy Days:
Personaly Fred, I wouldn't risk a long journey with a cracked manifold.

with a bit of luck, maybe one of the other Dublin based lads could give you a lift. I'm sure you wouldn't mind sitting on a roof rack would you :P

Fred:
Alright so, I'm done for tomorrow!  :!:  :!:

Joe, fancy to pick me up ?  :?:  Then, motorway almost all the way from Dublin...

Otherwise, I'll try to deal something with the wife to have her car, but I'll only bring small stuff so...  :?

DaveMc:
Fred, Ger and Myself will be there about 9am.

For anybody needing directions to the slope. Here goes.

1. Call me or Gerry if completely lost. Dave 086 8218746 Ger 086 3497493.

2. From the Main N7 Limerick to Dublin turn at the village of Bird hill. If travelling from the dublin direction you need to turn right at the main roundabout outside Birdhill. Signposted for Ballina/Kilalloo. If Travelling from the Limerick Direction you need to drive through Birdhill to the dublin side. Then turn left at the main roundabout for Ballina.

3. In Ballina you will have plenty space to park up and meet.

4. Head North through the village until you meet a tiny roundabout outside the Grocery store. Continue straight ahead at this roundabout.

5. You will then take the first right turn. You will know you are on the right path at this stage as the road takes a sudden uphill direction.

6. So the basic rule is KEEP RIGHT from now on. the next right turn is just opposite a small house on your left. He always has a boat parked there. There is a sign saying Graves of the Leinstermen straight ahead. Just turn right.

7. The road takes a downhill direction now to a very small bridge. Continue straight on.

8. Continue after the small bridge for about a mile or so. You will be doing some pretty decent uphill climbing now. The Next right turn is almost at the top. By now it will be very obvious that you need to turn right to get to the top of the hill. This turn is a very sharp and steep. It is almost a U turn in a 35degree uphill direction. 1st gear job!

9. Drive straight to the top. Car park at the top beside the transmission tower.

10. If lost refer to step 1.  :wink:

See you there.
Dave
