Cannonball Supercars – #ThursdayDoors

A different type of doors post from me today. 2023 Cannonball Ireland passed through Ballina last Saturday.

I’m not mad into cars to be honest – I wouldn’t know the difference between a Lamborghini and a Ferrari. I drive a Hyundai i20 and that’s amazing enough for me.

Hopefully some of you Thursday-Doors fans will appreciate these pics.

Cannonball Ireland has so far raised €1,538,602 for Irish charities. This year’s official charity is The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
