Hi from Irish Dubber

[98mk1 Ireland]

Hi there,
Just said I'd pop in and introduce myself and my ride.
Im from Ireland where we have a huge VW following...more so the older, more classic VW's than the new machines....but still a definite following. We practically know every dub on irish roads from our annual show and shines, or monthly 'county meets'. We all help each other out, and would never pass a dubber on the road without a flash. A big happy family. So, If there's anything you guys need from Ireland/Uk drop me a line and I'll see what i can do for you.

Man that is cool to see a 98 mk1, the idea is still pretty new to me. It looks nuts on the Borbets too. Welcome to VWWatercooled, and enjoy your stay.

Welcome mate, so knowing other VDubbers in Ireland, do you know Ronan?, he has/had a Rallye and a 20V Mk1... I bought his RS 301's off him, they were on his Rallye.
