IVVCC Picnic Powerscourt Estate

Powerscourt Estate Enniskerry Co. Wicklow played host to over 100 vintage cars at the Irish Veteran and Vintage Car Club’s 34th Annual picnic. I had a great day meeting some of the great and the good of the Irish vintage car society.

1:30pm and as snoozing sales men and taxi drivers shock themselfs off after some dahboard cusine and got ready to get back to the daily grind,  Piercing the horizon was a pillar of white as the S/S Statsraad Lehmkuhl approached the Irish coast. Laden down with a full camera bag I hicked out to the Dublin bay landmark of Poolbeg Lighthouse, only to watch in horror as the ship dissapered behind Houth head. After a quick call to the Dublin Port Authoity I decided to wait out as the ship was not docking in Dublin untill 4pm. After spending three hours at poolbeg lighthouse eventually the sleek white lady mad her grand entrance into the port.
