Night Drives
A few photos from our little night drive in the summer of 2021; right after all the misery of covid had lifted, we decided to get together for a meet-up and appreciate the joy these rusty Japanese cars bring. A route was mapped to drive for some spirited driving, but we got some food beforehand. Far too many of our vehicles are sitting in sheds these days, never getting the use they deserve, so it was great to get them out for a blast. Finally, everyone went home smiling, reminding us why we got into these things in the first place. In Ireland, as the years progress, you tend to see fewer and fewer of these cars on the road; they live their lives in the shed as our climate isn’t the best for cheap steel Japanese machines.
I love this photo, an 86 chasing down a Carina on a winding back road, memories we made from thin air, the reason we all love doing this. Over covid, it was missed dearly; this year, I hope to make a real effort to have this happening every few months.
Gerry 86 is such a treat on the eyes.
Parking up and chatting shit sounds boring on paper, but we were delighted to catch up after such a long break.
The night brought plenty of entertainment; you might have seen some of it in the videos; either way, ill let your imagination fill in the blanks.
