It's a bank holiday weekend, so I'm up for it :y
-
Would love to meet up but ( there,s always a but ) i,ll be drowning in a sea of Guinness in the lovely town of Galway that weekend 8-) 8-) 8-)
-
What the hey, why the hell not!
Where abouts in the park?
The boating arena bit, or the M+D's bit?
There's a few chaps on here from glasgow, edinburgh, renfrew.
I wonder if they have seen this thread?
-
sounds ok to me
but wherein the park :question
-
...Hmmmmm not keen on Strathclyde Park at all.....to many tw$ts in small cars and too many speed humps... :-/
-
...Hmmmmm not keen on Strathclyde Park at all.....to many tw$ts in small cars and too many speed humps... :-/
If we met on the road going down to the boating bit, we could always park there and havea go on the swings. :D
Or we could just continue right down that road and park up in the end car park and get sum piccies going. :-?
Oh yes, and the likelihood of a chwat infestation is slim.
How does the idea of maybe having a barbecue there? Just one of those disposeable ones?
Weather prevailing obviously. 8-)
-
I'll go for a mabye! Depends on what I've got on, I have a fairly hectic lifestyle these days due to working anti-social hours. I'm certainly not far away so I'll make my best efforts to get there. I'm there on principle at least!!! :y

<<<< I`ll be buggered if im bringing that to the left to an Omega meet, defeats the purpose, so my tentative is dependant on the wife not using her Miggy to bring instead.

That sounds like a plan m8
I'll bring my pop up gazebo( need to empty boot first)
I think a bbq's a great idea if the weathers good.
Markie, disnae matter what you arrive in m8, we all know theres an MV6 owner dying to break out :y ;D
-
Come on guys
anybody else up for a sunday of manly pursuits??
Its either this or go to the in laws for dinner :-?
We do all kinds of things
Talk about migs
stand around in car parks (while still looking good)
have deep conversations such as - sunroofs up or down for pics???
Theres always at least half an hour dedicated to getting the cars all straight for the pics ::)
New items of business will be discussed. these will include winding Jim up about running the mig bone dry on the way to callander ;D
and frasers firework display on the old stirling road on the way home ;D - maybe 70 was abit much for that bump in the road :P
Why I bought a sat nav only to discover its for the estate - wot a tube ;D
Theres even going to be dead bits of cows on hot charcoal - need I say more ;D ;D
I maybe not selling this very well, so I'll shup up now.
But seriously, to all the new members & older ones that have never been,you'll not find a more welcoming bunch up here. So come along :y
Or you'll be sitting at the inlaws talking bout gardening & stuff while we bbq
Go on you know you wanna ;)
-
Would be up for a meet and a blether as well as the sacrificial burning of a couple of burgers.....

the numbers are mounting but where in the park :question

Hiya Jules
I'm sure we can have a nosey at 'em
Was in the park yesterday & had a bit of a recce. I think Fraser's idea of meeting on the other side of the loch is a better idea. Its a bit quieter, a bigger car park, no speed bumps, hopefully less corsa jockeys kicking around & its right beside the water also
If you ain't sure of the way in, the easiest directions are
M74 south Take Jcn 6 ( follow signs for Motherwell)
Keep in the left lane on the dual carriageway & turn left into the park at the traffic lights.
Take the first left onto the boating road, carry on down the road past the boating centre on the right, carry on until you see red "No unauthorised entry" signs.Turn right into the last car park & head for the water!!
Hope this helps

I can bring a disposeable bbq or two, or sum grub.

I can head down a little early and claim a spot and get a gazeebo started.

Mine are still under rockabelly's old laguna.
Pauley, I'm sure oe of us can have a squint at it.

Mite be a tad late chaps, had a wee bit of a house fire this morning.
No, I'm not kidding.
Plus SWMBO has a killer hangover, so she is dragging her feet a little.
See you in a bit. :y
Pauley, just head down the dual carriageway from hamilton to M/well, head in that entrance and take a left towards the marina, you wont miss us.
