Hi, well the gods were good to us today, the cars were due to be collected tomorrow, but we collected them today, and what a happy day that was. myself and alan went to the docks to meet the container, when they opened it up all i seen was 4 tail lights, WHAT A SIGHT......:yes:. we got the cars out , put in some petrol and fired them up. what a sound that chevelle makes. MAGIC. Both of the cars sound and drive very well. the chevelle is much more roomier than my camaro, in fact it felt huge. the weather here is not warm at the moment but i cruised through town with all the windows down , just posing of course, but it felt like a million dollars.:D:D:D felt like KING OF THE ROAD :hurray:.I WILL POST UP SOME PHOTOS TOMORROW. Dont think i am going to sleep tonight.:cool::cool:

That's great Liam! :beers:

Can't wait for the pics. :thumbsup:

That must be awesome site over there..There can't be very many Chevelles in Ireland! It must look cool cruising amoung the MG and Truimphs etc..

What is gas going for over there? For 94 Octane it is approx $1.30 per litre here in Canada..

Congrats!

How much is gas over there? What type of octane ratings are available?

When we visited in Feb, gas was $1.13 Euro per Litre... worked out to approx $6.50 per gal in USD. There is only one grade of gas offered and I didn't notice the octane rating...which I would imagine is calculated differently anyhow.

you aint going to like this :(:( GAS IS JUST NEAR $7 A GALLON. But i dont care, its worth every penny just to cruise. :yes::yes::yes:

Congratulations, good looking car have fun with your new toy.

Congrats, nice looking cars. I can't believe you've been waiting since Xmas. Is that how long it takes to get a car over seas???

CONGRATS LIAM!! Your not going to sleep tonight. If you do. it won't be for long. ha ha ha. Hey I hope you enjoy the hell out of the CHEVELLE. That car looks great!! Mustang looks good also. Which one sounds better? Get a few pictures with your mug next to the car. So we can see what you look like with that smile from ear to ear. Ok Ride safe. Rick

:cool:

So you finally got it out of captivity! Excellent, my friend. Soon you will be able to wear your new Chevelle T shirt while driving your car.

I only saw the picture of the container. How about one of the car???

Chuck

reminds me of the day mine rolled off the transport truck from Alabama. I saw the 4 tail lights as well and I was 17 years old, a junior in high school. Took the car the next week for the licence test. Was pretty cool to get my drivers licence in my chevelle. I'm turning 21 in October, CONGRATS!!! update us with all the goodies you're going to install.

Nice to see more Chevelles across the big pond. Congrats and happy cruising!!!

Congratulations Liam and Alan. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Took the Chevelle out yesterday, what a BLAST, its a bigger car than i thought, all the crew loved it, could have sold it a few times yesterday, went past my 2 buddies in their mustangs and they said the grin is going to have to be broken off my face :D:D.being black with white stripes it certainly stands out. love it :hurray::hurray:

That's awesome! Sounds like it was worth the wait.

kewl :thumbsup: I wouldn't have thought a chevelle would have fit in one of those containers. I've been in one or two and thought that they were narrower than that.
