After what would only be an unforgettable night at Daikoku, we rolled the dice and chanced our luck. It was late, we had been kicked out of Daikoku and there was one place left on the list I wanted to tick off before we went home.
So as I stated in the first post, this was a considerably good night at Daikoku and felt like a split feature was worth the effort.
The wait was over, after a failed attempt to get into Daikoku on the previous night, we were adamant to make it here for a Saturday night no matter what. We hung around in the Up Garages close by and made our way towards Daikoku around 9 PM to get an early spot.
So it has to be said Heatwave 2011 actually turned out a lot better then we had expected. Its no secret that Ireland is filled with nice cars. Properly built clean cars exist and many times over the years going to shows these cars would never be on show, in fact most of the time it would be the exact opposite, with only a handful of cars on display which would make you look twice. Not taking away from the work of some people but the car scene has definitely changed and it was only a matter of time until the shoes would reflect this. It was certainly a different line up of cars compared to lets say 2005!
Check this snap from an old photo shoot that is a little heavy on the photoshop side, but besides that the Impreza RB320 is a very cool rare car. Built in memory of Richard Burns who was the 2001 World Rally Champion, the car boasted 320 BHP tuned by Prodrive and only 320 of these were ever made, they sold pretty quick and we managed to come across this one that was bought by an enthusiast in the south east of Ireland, there was almost over a years waiting list for the car and all 320 of them sold out pretty quick. This Impreza easily became a rare collectable alongside the 22B’s RB5’s and P1’s. A nice way to remember one of the worlds greatest rally drivers.
