Further details will follow but essentially it is a drive to and from Ballypatrick forest park (between Cushendall & Ballycastle), a drive around/through the forest park and a picnic while we are there.

Routes etc will be posted closer to the time, for now, add your name to the list if you are interested.

If you want to see photos video and more info about the forest then have a look at this thread ....

The location of Ballypatrick is .....

I realise this is a bit of a trek for some of you who live further south, but is is another chance to drive some of the excellent roads around and near the Antrim Coast


* BTW, the teddy bear is optional

I would be interested but by the time I drove up there I'd probably be to tired to drive more lol

sure we could always head up on the saturday and stay in a cheap hotel like what we did for the Antrim run, save drinving up and back in the same day?

We have 6 cars on the OC coming along so get your name down.

The meeting point is Dunsilly Rd Roundabout, Antrim ... same as the coast road run in June. Meeting time is 11am, so anyone from the South has plenty of time to get up.

Re: the pic nic, its bring your own and we ill probably have it in Ballypatrick Forest Park assuming the weather doesn't decide to attack.


Cheers

I shall ask my bird if she fancy coming.

Nice one H ... be good to see you again

Don't forget this event is this Sunday. hopefully you all can make it. 10 cars in total so far, althought I might be in the Civic - my duece off the road as it needs a new wheel hub and is currently sitting in East Coast Customs while John tries to source one (ST is on backup )

I have also invited the guys on MR2MK1Club along plus another contact that emailed me after the MR2Only article.

Meeting point is the Dunsilly Rd Roundabout at Antrim 11am, so plenty of time for the southerners to get along. I would expect we will be back there by 3pm at the latest so you should be too late home either.

Copy & paste the list if you want to add your name.

Current weather forecast is fairly good with sun in the pm, 20% chance of rain and 14 degrees. You boys with the 'leaky roofs' may even be able to get the glass out

Hi Spanky, im out aswell, Had my car booked in to get the calliper & hand brake done tomorrow evening but thats not going to happen till next week now due to the lad moving house, Apologies

I am still up for this, if anymore freestaters want to come along please do, will be a lonely drive on my own.

I will be leaving mine around 8-00 and should be around the motorway in Drogheda 8-45 and leave at 9-00 if anybody wants to join in.

You'll probably be early at that time Sliper, but I presume you will be stopping for breaky along the way

Three hour journey time according to AA, but I have proved it wrong so many times before, have to see what Mrs Garmin says and smack that number as well

My car operates in a vacum as its N/A therefore it is faster than time itself.

I don't mind waiting around for everybody to turn up, its that same car park again I assume.

vacuum

Yeah, same car park as last time. See you there dude and don't forget your teddy

There's a few things need done .... new pass side wheel hub, new driver front caliper, a bit of welding (previous accident prior to me owning - only small), reversing lights not working and cracked ex manifold.

I'm only getting ECC to sort out the hub ... planning to do the rest over winter myself (and Ricky for technical advice )

Old cars are so much fun
