Any Irish Dolly owners looking in?

Hi all, I'm trying to gather together as many Irish Dolly, Toledo and FWD owners together as possible with a view to forming a group to meet up on a reasonably regular basis, hopefully to become an Irish branch of the Dolly Club. There are plenty of us here! You may not be a member of the club (yet!) but I know we have some looking in and contributing now and again.

I'd love to get together with other owners and have a chat, laugh and a good cry about our cars. Go on, you know you want to.

Who's up for it? Hankies optional.

There's a very active classic cars section on boards.ie, so in addition to your post here, it may be worth posting this request there also. :wink:

Hi Garfin,

count me in, no mobile dolly yet, but I've just come in from tidying the shed!

Too cold over Christmas, one step at a time!

Cheers
Tom

Good to hear from you fellas! Not a bad start. Could you both drop me a line with your phone numbers and email addys to gary.finegan@publicisqmp.ie so I can keep a record? Cheers in advance.

I've been in touch with a forum member here called Aidan from Navan who, like me, has a russet 1850. PJ, do you know Myles Connolly from Avoca? He also has 2 77 Dollys, both 1500s. I'll drop him a line to see if he'll join us too.

Tom, is yours a 1300?

Cheers JPB, I'm ahead of you on that one. 43 viewers so far but no responses as yet. Too many Merc lovers there! :roll: I'll stick the same message on a few other forums too and see how I go.

So far:
Gary - 1850
Aidan - 1850
PJ - 1500 + 1850
Tom - ?

Promising!

If I'm ever in Dublin again I'll look you up. The last time I was over there I took my Sprint with me. Hopefully, Brown will be back on the road when I next visit the Emrald Isle.

Please do Toledo Man. Brown is so apt for the state of affairs over here right now. :roll:

So far I have 6 owners details with a total of 10 cars between us. I know there's plenty more out there so I'll be making up some cards with my contact details should I come across any more cars while out and about. I've also just received a message from a guy who has a Dolomite with just 2000 miles on the clock. I'm intrigued...

Hi PJ, current total stands at 7 owners with a total of 11 cars. I've been a bit tied up with work and 2 sick kids to do any more on this but i'll get back to it soon. Hopefully we can organise something for late spring. Emphasis on hopefully!
