***************************************************

Righto, shite fans of Norn Iron,

A suggestion has been put forth that a mini-meet of sorts could be arranged for those of us perched atop this enchanted rock, to strengthen bonds and ogle at terrible, terrible cars about to be inflicted on some other poor bugger.

Venue is: Ballyclare Car Auctions, Dennison Industrial Estate, Ballyclare BT39 9EB

http://ballyclarecarauction.co.uk/

Date is: Wednesday 8th August 2018, from 7pm onward

http://autoshite.com/calendar/event/52-northern-ireland-mini-meet-ballyclare-auctions/

Deep-fried items of varying degrees of danger are, apparently, available onsite for those who wish to test the strength of their stomach and other major organs.

So pop along, in whatever vehicle you fancy, for a bit of craic and to participate in the ever-popular Crispiest Wheelarch Spotting Competition.

I'll be there, I believe The_Equalizer will be there, and a few other expressions of interest have been indicated from local shiters.

I may even be wearing my newly-arrived Autoshite t-shirt (courtesy of FilthyJohn) to aid recognition.

Drop a line below if you reckon you fancy coming along!

Dat.

Me! Me! Me! I'll be there... and I know you already... so I should be able to recognise you! Title is immense by the way!

Whoo-hoo! That's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready so go, cat, go...

 

Looks like we got ourselves a meet-up... and I'll have your box of die-cast delights with me, unless a handover can be arranged before then.

 

 

So the next question is - whatcha reckon you're gonna be driving?

[The_Equalizer]

How exciting. I'll be in my CLK with obligatory Merc rust circa 1998-2003 - it's the only thing with a MoT. I'll have to find someway of finding you two without looking like some oddball quizzing everyone there!

[The_Equalizer]

Just read the title of the thread - very good!

How far is Ballyclare from the aerodrome at Aldergrove?  Asking for a friend...

Very very close... literally just down the road (A57).

 

Google sez a mere 11 miles door to door.

Your 'friend' malarkey ain't fooling anyone...

If weather is good, I'll bring the samba... otherwise it'll be a shite skoda of some description.

Well... I'm a sad twat. God knows how many race team jackets I've got.. but I'm going to wear some reproduction Peugeot Talbot Sport clothing!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, PEOPLE!!!

THERE IS A BEIGE WARTBURG KNIGHT IN THE MONKSTOWN AREA!!!

REPEAT - NOT A DRILL!

Looks like a fairly recent arrival and all...

Apologies for fairly rubbish dashcam footage, but I was NOT expecting to encounter this while sauntering over to Abbeycentre to look for a yardbrush.

Somewhere in the local vicinity is a person with a beige Wartburg. Let that sink in for a moment.

If they're not on here- they really ought to be.

Any ideas,  fair Shiters of Ulster?

[The_Equalizer]

That's super hard-core choding and a CO2 rating of zero - such friendly enviromental credentials! I must admit to knowning so little about them I had to dust off Wikipedia:

[They_all_do_that_sir]

This is most excellent!! Hopefully it wasn't just a visitor....

[hairnet]

[Faker]

Might, just might be able to sneak out for this one. I'll know nearer the time.

[Datsuncog]

Possibly could... seems a slightly weird time for it, mind!

[They_all_do_that_sir]

Just a bump to remind the stragglers to get on board.....

I'll be attending... and be displaying shite too

[hairnet]

did racer pull his finger out his hole and book a floigh'

[Datsuncog]

^^^ If he did, he's kept pretty quiet about it.

Unless he's planning on bursting out of the boot of a fucked Mazda 6 while it's going through the ring, wearing nothing but an Autoshite banner and a big smile...

In which case, who am I to judge?

Probably the most exciting thing to ever happen in Ballyclare...
