Alright lads,
Back a bit alive on the forum!

So, for this week end, We should all meet in Killaloe, as usual, on the main street (Where the church is when you enter the village, on the side of the river).
What time do we meet ? 8 am ?
Then, we can all go to the slope, but I cannot remember how to get there, last year, I was with Peter and his great memory! Very Happy

Anyway, What time are we meeting at in the vilage ??

Well as you are up till 5am boozing and partying it's understandable Keith! Cool

I would way say 10:30 is more realistic for me and Keith.

We would have to leave about 5am to be there by 8!! And as I said Keith will probably be just winding down then!! Very Happy

Got a reminder txt from Gerry Buckley yesterday. Wind looks good. Chance of a shower but this is Ireland after all!

That was more to take out most of the day.
We usually meet between 8 and 9 am every year. Cakes and coffee/tea on the road! Very Happy

Who else for an early start ?

Gerry, Dave, what time are you at the slope ?

Gerry said in his txt he would be there from 9am

Cool!

Who is going to be in the village early so ?
For people like me who can't remember how to get to the slope?!

By the way, is there a mechanic around ?
Quick question : I have a cracked manifold, so my car sound like a boy racer's car now Very Happy

Is that ok to drive long distances like this ? think

Fred,

Driving long distances with a cracked exhaust manifold can seriously damage your engine's health. It's okay to drive if you're just 'nipping to the shops,' but over long distances the crack will create a "hot spot" which, if it's near the exhaust ports, can distort the cylinder head. VERY expensive to replace. Crying or Very sad

If you have to use that car tomorrow try to keep the revs down. But if you have a second vehicle I'd use that if I were you. (I've got a bicycle you could borrow!)

Keith

Ah feck !
Can't borrow wife's car tomorrow! Wall

Well, I can be on mechanical forfait for tomorrow then!! Wall

Still waiting for the manifold part to arrive, and nothing showed up so far!
