Our relationship with the motor car is constantly evolving – Henry Ford once famously said “you can have it in any colour you like as long as it’s black” – these days you can have whatever you want as long as its green!
In three weeks’ time, on Saturday 22nd October, the Drogheda Motor Show, Brand New Drive 231 event, will take place from 10am until 5pm on Laurence Street with over 70 new cars on display from 18 motor brands.
Nine local franchised motor dealerships have again partnered up with the Laurence Street Businesses and Traders to bring this special motoring event to the public.
The theme of this year’s event is ‘My Car My Way’, celebrating individuality in car ownership. Key messages of road safety and responsible driving will feature strongly in the programme with the organisers linking up with local dance and theatrical production company, Kast Productions, to put on a specially commissioned dance performance on the day for visitors.
Prospective car buyers are invited to get down to the town centre where they can expect lots of colour, music and fun for all the family to enjoy. There will be dance with Kast Productions, music by Drogheda Comhaltas, magic by Simon Ryan (TheMagician.ie), sketching with Sketchy People Drogheda and face-painting with Jo Bubbles.
This is a unique opportunity for car buyers to look at, sit in, smell and experience the features of a variety of different new 231 reg cars in the size that interests them – all in one location.
“The Drogheda Motor Show is now an established annual event in the town and the motor dealers should be commended for their commitment to continuing with the show even through the most challenging of times. They’ve continued to deliver year on year” said Robert Murray, Head of Marketing at First Citizen Finance and President of Drogheda & District Chamber.
“It really is a fantastic opportunity for the local car buyer to see and assess a wide range of vehicles from multiple brands and suppliers in one single visit. Get down to Laurence Street on Saturday 22nd October to find your car, your way!”
