Agh the luck of of the Irish! :wink:

Can't think of anyone who deserves to come 1st place more than you and Hamish.
Congratulations Conor! :thumb:

And as for you Mairead, glad that you're home now from hospital :bounce:
as part of your convalescing maybe you could look at planning another cruise for 2010 for the rowdy ones from over the water :lol: but maybe for a few extra days though this time. :thumb:

Thanks for the kind words guys. Had a really good day out today despite the awful wet weather. Sods law it brightened up when the event was over. In celebration, I drove straight to Halfords afterwards and treated Hamish to a new set of Alpine speakers. Now fitted in his footwells thanks to my mate and fellow forum member, Andrew. Cheers A!

I think Hamish only took Conor along to hold the trophy ("might scratch my bonnet - I will let him hold it for me"). Hope he doesn't blow a gasket with his big head now. Congrats and best of health to you all from here on. :wave :sunny

Thanks Sam, and he wasn't even polished or waxed beforehand due to bad weather and a hectic schedule of late.
