It was a great pleasure to catch up with Alzero on our travels. We only had 36 hours in Dublin but managed to share a pint of Guinness at the old Guinness Brewery and again at the aforementioned Oliver St. John Gogarty pub. Thanks Michael and Beth, truly lovely people. Will see you again next year in Australia

You shared a pint?

I’m thinking four straws hanging out of a pint of beer …. with cocktail umbrellas

We had fun and are looking forward to throwing back a few more and letting you try to explain cricket to us! Cheers.

Cricket? It's a strange tradition where people sit in grandstands and spend hours watching groups of seagulls stand around on a large oval-shaped area of grass. Occasionally some idiot chases a ball through the middle of the bunch, and they all fly away to settle elsewhere on the oval.

Is the food and drink any good?

Food? Nobody goes to the cricket for the food, nor cricket.

Bloody heathens!
Don’t you dare pour scorn on the world’s greatest reason for eating cucumber sandwiches

For some reason this CX looks bigger than I remember. Perhaps because it’s a Pallas model? A wedding car outside the chapel on the Trinity College campus.

 

[Paul Marx]

Damn good car plagued by corrosion like all cars of the period.
One of the last real Citroën.

[Alzero]

There are some nice ones on mobile.de.

CX Pallas had a longer wheelbase, about 10cm/4". Lots of legroom in the rear!

Our little bike show, mates Red rocket ( racing it tommorow) Suzuki T500, Gt750, my Guzz, Model P Triumph sidecar, T100 and a strange French trike Rayvision that has a Suzuki GSXR1000 inside it, very well put together One of two ever built. Steven rode his Velocette, must be well into his eighties. Dave’s Willys jeep and loads of others..

Red rocket ( racing it tommorow)

Good stuff
And I hope you’re all having a working bee afterwards to help him get it back to showroom condition!

 

[The Sock]

Off to The Black Swan, Ockham, this morning for coffee and a bacon bap. A small selection from vehicles present.

Saw this fellow waiting in line for the ferry to Spain. It’s a 2010 Iveco chassis built for the Italian military that he put the camper box on. A six cylinder turbo diesel that gives him 21mpg! The camper is alloy and composite with an internal roll cage that will support the weight of the vehicle, just in case!

Oh dear, I had an MT Elsinore with CR Elsinore bits everywhere, that was road registered.

Almost cracked a fat over that one
