Hi people! just thought some of you might be intrested in this, ive been planning a roadtrip for rebel motorsport around Ireland for over a year, August 1st soon came around and we started our trip, we had 5 people and 4 cars attend,
Alex - Comet blue EK4
Matt - Cosmic grey EP3
Ian - Black FN2
Dan and Charlie - Fiat Grande punto sporting
We went around the coast of Ireland from Rosslaire to Bantry then explored all the mountain passes on the beara, ring of kerry and dingle peninsulas for a few days, including the stunning healey and connor passes! then up to the mountains of conemara, then up to donegal then over the top to crolly for a free day and around the coast road to visit carrick a rede rope bridge and giants causeway, then all the way down to dublin for a free day, then into the wicklow mountains and back to the first campsite in Wexford! and epic trip, with some simply mental roads, my car has taken some serious abuse and is booked in monday morning to get looked at(
The Healey pass in particular was a highlight of the trip! we where parked up waiting for our mate to get to the top and a VZR N1 absolutly thrashed it past up, sounded insane, heading for the pass!! we went up and got told on the radios we had a clear road, i was in 1st and 2nd gear the whole way!!!! a stunning drive see below!
And the roads where insane, very bumpy and potholey, my car bottomed out a few times!!
Saw a few sights along the way too!!
One of only 2 yellow prototype FN2's ever made im told!!
Had loads of guinness!! and saw lots of modified cars! loads of well modded EK civics, AE86's evos, scoobys, skylines, old fords! the Irish love there cars! and we got some shocked looks on out travels! an awesome trip all my photos are here:-
