Anybody interested??? :( :( :(
-
I can't guarantee anything... I'll be over in the far West of Kerry that weekend and it'd be a 2.5 hour trip to Crossbarry. I'll check it out.
-
Howdy, and sorry for the silence!
I'll be there!
If my car behave :( Giving me some troubles these days >:(
-
If it's a French car it's probably gone on strike!
-
Not even French! ::)
Car is going into limp mode :(
-
Not even French! ::)
Even worse, it's Spanish! :D
-
But German inside :)
-
I will be there, my friend
-
Sorry I want but no...
-
North pole also?
-
i hope to be there ralph, the glide in that is not the north pole.
slope soaring at the north pole?, you'll want to be well wrapped up for that!

So far, it's a no go for me :(
The muppets still haven't fixed my car! Still going in safety when I reach 90km/h >:( >:(
Anybody knows a mechanic in Dublin south?
-
my car (ford s-max) did that on me fred, going into limp mode. turned out it was a fuel injection (diesel) problem. have you checked that out?
-
Not yet.
The problem with mechanics these days, is that they plug the computer to the car, and whatever comes out, is the problem in their view.. But the sensors might get false information from another part of the car >:(
They changed the MAF and EGR, but I asked them to check the vaccum pipe and the rod thing that goes to the turbo / vaccum as this is the most common issues on the VW engines apparently...
Fingers crossed, but start to be fed up at this stage :'(

Hi Ralph,
Cork is a big county.......
Mitchelstown is just over 200k but Goleen is nearer 400! A bit far for a day trip but I might overnight. Need to know where however.

A big thankyou to Ralph for a great weekend. I did get a good few flights on Sunday morning in 38km/hr wind speed of the point with the Fouga and the micro Lunak, which is now my top fun model to fly.
