Hello from Donegal

[MrLC80]

Well all, new to the forum here, from the Ballyshannon area in south Donegal here.
Some of you might know Michael Kane or Kevin Quinn and/or David Feely.

Joined as seems to be a very useful site for info bout all sorts of old and new Toyota 4x4's.

My names Dillon by the way, I've got a 97' Land Cruiser Amazon VX myself, my pride and joy, few mods, small lift kit, 33" A/T tyres, straight pipe exhaust, etc.

Theres a few big Land Cruiser heads around here and always looking for info and helpful tips with our jeeps, not that they ever go wrong :p

I would also like to mention that a few of us met members of this club on a run they were doing in Mullaghmore last year and there is some very nice machinery sitting between you guys!

Also we would like to invite anyone who might be interested to a Toyota show coming up at the end of the month on the 30th and 31st of may, it is being held in the small town of Frosses between Donegal Town and Killybegs. The Kelly family who own the famous Kelly's of Donegal Toyota dealerships, anyone with a Toyota is welcome, we would really like to see a nice range of old and new Land Cruisers at the show. There should be a big turn out for this show with vehicles travelling from all corners of the country.

Hope you guys can make it and looking forward to getting to know this forum.

Give him a ring and tell him you have to have it by.....

[MrLC80]

Sorry was offline for a while there guys.

By the way there is on site security and if you want there is a place at Dan Kellys House for storage of 30 vehicles over night, it should be good fun.
The fist day is all Toyotas and the second day is a bit of everything so every car enthusiasts should find something they like at the show.

[Nailer]

What days are people planning on going? 30th and 31st are on Friday and Saturday.
Can we arrange a meeting place?

Toyota Fest is on Sat 31st so I suppose we need to go up Friday.

[Biker Bob]

Hi, I was liking to head up Friday after lunch, maybe that wouldn't suit everyone,

[Nailer]

I would be able to leave my place around 6 on Friday

[Biker Bob]

It would be nice to arrive at our destination about an hour before it gets dark, so we could set up our tents before it gets dark.

That suits me.

I agree but maybe two or three hours of light for cooking etc.

[BJ40B2]

so whats the deal .. do you have a meeting point .. is it camping

[Garfieldus]

No meeting point yet but definitely camping. Camping wild, eating wild. Bring everything with you or purchase on the way and cook out.
