Eighty-four Opel cars departed from the Blarney Golf Resort Hotel in Tower shortly after 10.30am on Saturday, travelling through Millstreet and on to Bally-vourney before returning to Blarney Golf Resort Hotel.

The event has been in existence for four years and was founded by Opel fan, Ted O’Connell, who says the run has grown from 13 cars to 84 since 2008.
