Re: Challenge 2014 - Ireland?
Last for today is a game :
This is the last pic I took from the ferry
And the game is
"Find the BX "…
you know the one with a great potential

No it's…… how could I say … Timex color maybe be , even if nobody had really seen one and can only imagine it …!
Just remember Timex used to hide themselves behind some hedges or green trees

Re: Challenge 2014 - Ireland?
Here's some of my own pics to add to the memories:
Lunch stop on the Shannon just east of Lymerick
One of many ruined castles in the area
'prehistoric' beehive house - although mainly reconstructed
Wonderful view - and the landscape's not bad either
the Oratory on the Dingle Peninsular
Drier than my tent, may car and my house!
On the Ring of Kerry
Mountain pass on the ring of Beara
Camping on the Ring of Beara
The cable car to Dursey Island
There's plenty of fish in the sea!
The remains of a copper mine
I got a bit close to the verge it seems
Lunch stop in the rain (again!)
In case you were wondering if you could use unleaded!

Re: Challenge 2014 - Ireland?
Onto the All Ireland Rally, and I spent an enjoyable time (just before Timex started playing up) looking round the Clonmel Transport Museum - not much Citroen related but still interesting, and plenty of Cycle stuff!
The 3 BX's at the Rally
Views from The V
A selection of cars in attendance
The last night, at St. Margarets, our Lady's Island
The improvised wiper supply and switch to get me home - the 2 wires twisted together are also powering the brake light switch
And this was the speedo light
There are more pics but I have to get them off the other camera still.

Re: Challenge 2014 - Ireland?
I wonder if that C5 (Sinclair) in the museum belonged to a local, was driven and abandoned over there, or was plucked from obscurity this side of the water?
