More photos of the event (Carrying on from the first thread : http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/257047/296363.html?1339909318 ). At the last of these threads I will hopefully post photos of some interesting accessory's I seen on various cars.

Just to correct, the car referred to as coachbuilt is actually a 1913 Ford Manchester built car although wearing the incorrect front fenders.
Thanks Simon.
50. Senic views at the Knockmealdown mountains,Co. Wicklow. I couldn't get many good photos as there were no stops on the tour.
51. ''
52. Line up of cars.
53. 1915 Touring.
54. Neil Tuckett's Touring
55. 1926 Tudor. This is a very nice well equipped car. Even had a speedometer.
56. Original Irish Tudor. I can't remember exactly but I think she is around 1922-1924.
57. Black-era Model T van.
58. Michael Rigney's recently restored Thames (Ford) tow truck.
59. Austin six. Lovely car. Extremely well equipped interior (Even foot rests for back seat passangers).
Here are some more. We were invited to the homes of two Irish enthusiasts with car collections, and to what can only be described as the 'playroom' of a third. (I won't give their names in case they don't want everyone to know what they have).
The captions didn't appear, above.
The first pic is a Lancia Dilambda engine of 1930. A 24 degree V8. The inlet port is where a T water inlet is.
So there must be some tortuous tract to the right rear cylinder.
No2 is a Shepherd Dixie Bus.
Nos 3,4 and 5 are at collection No2. The T Tour is in the middle and the collection round the outside.
The last three are 'toys'. The Segway was great fun. The Caterpillar truck weighs 90 tons, laden.
Many many thanks to all our Irish hosts and organisers. We drove 530 miles around the S and E of Ireland.
