On Wednesday there was an exclusive reception in the Espresso Bar at Harvey Nichols where a number of select guests got a sneak preview of some of the Supercar’s that will be on show throughout the Father’s Day weekend at Dundrum Town Centre.

From super-cars to super BBQ’s, the annual day for dads will be celebrated all weekend long this June at Dundrum Town Centre, with an array of activity on offer for all dads. A host of activity will take place over the duration of Father’s Day weekend on Saturday, 20th and Sunday, 21st June 2009.

For dads with the need for speed, an exclusive exhibition of top-of-the-range cars, from Fiat Group Automobiles Ireland in Dundrum Town Square, including the €320k Alfa Romeo 8C Competzione Supercar which is being transported in especially for the occasion, and the Bridgestone Formula 1 car.

Another treat for car enthusiasts is the first viewing of the extremely sporty Abarth Fiat 500 exclusive to Dundrum. This addition to the popular Fiat 500 range has not yet been launched in Ireland but the Abarth is one of the most desirable cars on the planet – even Michael Schumacher drives one.

Guests on the evening included celebrity Dads Keith Barry, Brian Ormonde and Leinster’s Bernard Jackman. Also present were Amanda Byrom, Baz Ashmawy, Jenny Buckley, Dennis Hickie, Sara Kavanagh, Conor Buckley and Glenda Gilson amongst others.
