Ted's Opel Vauxhall Run 2013 Launched
Posted: July 16, 2013 8:28 AM
Blue skies and sunshine was the order of the day as the 6th Ted's Opel Vauxhall Run was launched on Sunday last at the Killarney Quality Hotel. Enthusiasts from the surrounding counties with their Opel and Vauxhalls turned up to be part of it. The Run was the brainwave of Macroom man Ted O'Connell who saw that their was an absence of this type of event for the Opel/Vauxhall followers. There were many events for the Ford or Mini fans or the VW and Morris Minor followers but nothing for the GM family.
In the first Run there were a mere thirteen cars and that has grown to a staggering eighty four cars. This years numbers are expected to be in the region of the mid eighties again. The first Run was organized in three weeks but as numbers increased and planning routes and working on the safety of the event grew it takes the best part of a year now to get everything in order. Ted O'Connell remarked that there is a huge Thank You due to each member of the organizing committee for their dedication and hard work for the event. "We want everyone to have an enjoyable event and go home safe and happy, that's what makes it a successful event.
Every year there Special Awards presented to four cars at different intervals throughout the Run. There is also a Perpetual Sheild and this year we are delighted to have some new Perpetual trophies being presented to the Run. There are also plenty of Raffle prizes to be won.
Registeration is from 9am -9.45am at the Killarney Quality Hotel, There will be a fee of €20. The Run will depart the Quality Hotel at 10am.
The Route takes in Killarney, Molls Gap, Kenmare, Sneem, O'Carroll's Cove, Waterville, Ballaghasheen pass, Beallaghbeama and returning to Killarney via Molls Gap. We are taking in some of the South Wests most senic views aswell as some classic Rally stages. The Lunch stop is at Irelands only Beach Bar and Restauranr in O'Carroll's Cove. Lunch will be available to those who wish to avail of it at a cost of €15 per person.
One thing that is assured is that this is not a Rally or Race of any kind but a Fun and Relaxed drive with fellow Opel/Vauxhall car enthusiasts. The age of your car dosen't matter, old or new are all welcome.
We are delighted again that this years Run is being organised in conjuction with Kevin O'Leary Group Opel Dealer, Cartell.ie and the Opel Vauxhall Club Ireland.
