Hi guys,well here is an attempt to take the bull by the horns and see if we can get the Scottish meets more active! :y
So the next meet is planned for Sunday 10th October
(This is the start of the school October holiday)
Venue TBC,but i'm thinking somewhere that has a Pub/Cafe/Brewers Fare type place incase the weather isn't great,that way we will have shelter and somewhere warm.
So who's up for it? :y
-
Count me in :y
-
sounds great a dont mind traveling
-
I don't think I'll make this one ;D ;D
-
If i manage to get a reliable power source then i should be able to make it. Mr Fusion perhaps? ;)
How about the 'Rest And Be Thankful'? No Brewers Fayre, but stunning scenery. :y
-
Thats where your signature pic is taken Kev aye?

How about Perth/Stirling area, rather than through the west? Might be an idea to be central-ish? Will have a look in a bit and see if I can find something suitable... :y

Something for the otherhalfs and kids to do..... ;)
-
I thought about there Bruce,its got a big carpark if i remember,with a bit right down the bottom...well out the road
-
Never been, to be honest. Just thinking somewheres in the middle so that we all can travel a bit, rather than some travel a lot and others not at all.
Unfortunately, there is not a car park on Ben More, thought to be the centre of Scotland! ;D
-
Ive been with a coach,but i'm pretty sure it has quite a large carpark which has a part well away from the centre itself,which could be good if a few turn up :y
Jim suggested Stirling services...ABS used to have a meet there years ago,but i seem to remember something about Moto objecting to it and putting a stop to it?
I thought about Bannockburn at the vistors centre,but the carpark aint very big..
-
Yeah at the Wheel there is quite a large car park ... cant imagine it would be too busy in October .. Checked my work shifts and kiddies and im free that weekend so i should get to my first meet :y :y :y :y

If I was Shrek I would think twice about bringing the donkey.
-
Falkirk wheel is not a bad option for a car meet if you sweet talk them into letting you park by the side (the hi-vis jacket types insisted on us pushing the cars on and off the premises, though). ::)

Nothing really .... was going to be doing rear discs / pads myself shortly but other than a creaky noise from the rear i dont think i have any issues just now (for a change ;D ) :y :y :y

I will assume the rear creaking may be donut bushes although i havnt had it checked .... i was just wandering if people were going to have things done or if its just a meet and greet ;D

One of my mates got fed up with a hi-vis type barking orders at him as he was being pushed into position.
He calmly unlatched his removable steering wheel and handed it to the guy "Here, why don't you steer?". ;D The guy's face was a picture. :D

The car park is HUGE around the back

So.... Just looked on Google Earth to see where carparks and stuff are, as per the following piccy. Never having been there, what carpark are we talking about folks??
(http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/hotel21/OOF/OOFmeetFalkirkWheel.jpg)
-
Car park F is the easiest to get to and is the one signposted from the motorway. Dunno if it'll full of tourists though, tut ::) Prob be ok givien time of year and it not being a public holiday weekend (it's not is it?).
BTW, I'll be coming along and have invited a couple of "guests" from ABS. I'm sure no-one will mind when they see what one of them is bringing. The only clue I'm giving is that it has turbos.
-
I'm gutted, I'm going to miss this one, are we sure we can't move it to the following weekend as I'm back. "Please" ;D ;D
-

The car park where the busses go will hold easy 20-30 coaches and there's three car/coach park levels so there's plenty choice.
If you want we can all meet at the carpark across the wheelhouse restraunt :y

Yep, well remmebered, that was me with the Mistral Grey GSi. Don't have it any more - needed too much welding so I sold it as a project.
Hope to have my latest Omega (No. 3) road legal in time, if not I'll have the silver MV6 wreck.
What was believed to be your old GSi was spotted in Forfar the other day
It wasn't yours it was Colin Nicol's apparently
Mine went over the water - not to be drifted (thankfully) but to be restored. Think it's still a work in progress.

Car park F is the easiest to get to and is the one signposted from the motorway. Dunno if it'll full of tourists though, tut ::) Prob be ok givien time of year and it not being a public holiday weekend (it's not is it?).
BTW, I'll be coming along and have invited a couple of "guests" from ABS. I'm sure no-one will mind when they see what one of them is bringing. The only clue I'm giving is that it has turbos.
Elsie?
Im trying to think,did you have,or still have the silver GSi? we met at Strathclyde park about 4 years ago with TC when the guy in the Corsa said... "aye it is a real one" refering to the LC?
I think the exact phrase was "£***'n #ell... THAT'S A REAL ONE!" Must have been the best chav quote of the day! LOL
-
good stuff mate,you'll be glad...
Aye, Its been 4 weeks since I was last home :o
-
Can I stick my name down for a Tech 2 Cruise enable at this meet ;)

Aye, no probs. Will be in the Langtoun on Tuesday night though, if you want it sooner. Or, I'm only 4 miles up the road from you if you want it sooner than that! ;)
-
Still waiting for the stalk..........if it arrives soon i will take you up on that as I could do with it for going south at the weekend ;)
-
Would anyone object if I invited a few guys from VODC to come along to this?

Mmmm i checked a few weather sites and seems to be cloudy with sunny intervals ... hopefully no rain :y
-
Have a good one on sunday, I'm stuck in Italy this weekend which sounds good but trust me its not :'(
I would rather be at the meet, looks like it will be a good turn out :y
-
Hope the weather gets better .... need to try and give her a wah and polish before tomorrow :-/
-
I am also up forthis my first meet, and look forward to seeing everyone there. Thanks :y
-
Has it been decided where we are meeting up ?
Which car park or at the resturant / coffee place across the road ?
Carpark F is the one i have been to before .
Or just turn up and hope for the best :y
-
I am 50/50 wether I will make it, just back from down south and a bit of chaos to sort
-
May well be closer to 1230 until I get there. Got a few things to do tomorrow....
-
We can meet at the car park accross from the Wheel house restraunt :y
-
Elsie ain't gonna make I'm afraid, has acquired a dose of oil incontinense so can't come out to play.
What time is everyone going to be there until? My new front wishbones arrived yesterday and they are desperately needing changed so I launched straight into it. Got one side done yesterday (I'm changing the struts and discs too) and am about 25% done on the other side but have found that the hub bearing is gubbed so I'm having to nick one off my spares car but the strut is already off on that so I'll need to rebuild it just to slacken the hub nut!
So hopefully get it rebuilt and get there before everyone leaves!
-
So did you have a good one?
-
So did you have a good one?
Yep there was about 10 or 12 cars turned up ... stood around and had a yap then some T2 work done on some of the cars .
Was quite cold though but was good to put faces to the names on the forum ... well the ones i can remember anyway , memory like a sieve ;D
Must try and get something going in the summer next time .
I never thought about a pic or two though , should have had them lined up and took some pics :-/
