Shitefest Ireland, Co. Wicklow, July / August

Can I suggest an event tag and dates on the OP?

 

I'm tempted to come over, not been to Ireland for a few years & it's a lovely place so it is.

 

Good point

 

I think with Bulgaria being May, and Scotoshite being June we should aim for July / August. that would spread it out a bit and allow anyone mad enough to attend all three!

July/August would probably suit alright, depending on the date... and Wicklow area could work ok too - never spent any time there, only ever passing through.

 

The next question is... do I aim to bring Troublesome TAZ, which is MOT'd and in daily use but has a tendency to blow electrical components - or make a last-ditch attempt to resurrect battered bASe KAZ, which never once let me down in over three years but refused to start once TAZ arrived and hasn't run since, and is now full of water and rubbish? I know what looks more shite...

There's a pub near me that happily provides his lovely dry Riverside field for camping; eircooled have used it for their summer meet the last couple of years. Some of the best driving roads on the island around it too

Do you know the fella, and if so would you mind enquiring about a weekend in August that would suit him?

A frame KAZ with TAZ, that way if TAZ fails you can swap them round!

You know what lads and lasses... we just have to agree to meet at some big car event. There's plenty of them about each year. Or how about the pinnacle of shite gatherings - junkyard jewels scrap yard (breakers in norn iron that specialises in vintage and classic cars only... I've posted pics before). A shite meet at junkyard jewels sounds good to me!! Just outside dungannon

Does anyone know for sure whether the Junkyard Jewels (Anderson's Classic Dismantlers, Stewartstown) annual auction/ autojumble/ general hokeabout is in fact on this year?

 

I'm given to believe it's usually held on Easter Monday, but despite extensive* searching I can't find any reference to a 2018 event.

I have to go to Boyle and Portadown over the next couple of months. The plan was to fly into Knock, see friends, acquire a starlet or carina cheap via DoneDeal - then drive North to see further friends before driving home.

 

Would be happy to tie in a meet up, or maybe even drive over if ferry’s aren’t overly expensive.
