Vince wrote:Well guys im back from the emerald isle....and oh what a beautiful place it is too :) Its so idyllic, and the roads are like something you'd find in heaven....open, sweeping, empty! with few speed cameras or traffic cops....I was in my happy place over there.

We stayed in Clemontagh castle I think it was called in Kilkenny....but its a long story with some pictures and some French cars thrown in so ill post up some details tomorrow of our "Ireland adventures" :P
Vince glad to hear you enjoyed Ireland, we usualy go to the Bantry area and up the west coast and i love it, Like you say perfect, empty, sweeping roads, a truely beautiful place, the fishing is great too. Ive got a video somewhere of the last time we took the XM coming out of Rosslare, i would love to move there one day, very fond memories.

I really think I ought, especially with the chance of a MI 16 Xantia and an XM to borrow :D Thanks both!!!

It'll have to be by boat though as no way can I fly... What port is it best to land up at? North or South?
