Title: Next Scottish Meet
Post by: Iain on 09 August 2010, 19:52:05
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

How about the 'Rest And Be Thankful'? No Brewers Fayre, but stunning scenery.  :y

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

Title: Re: Next Scottish Meet
Post by: Iain on 12 August 2010, 22:46:35
I thought about there Bruce,its got a big carpark if i remember,with a bit right down the bottom...well out the road
Title: Re: Next Scottish Meet
Post by: hotel21 on 12 August 2010, 22:51:55
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
Title: Re: Next Scottish Meet
Post by: Iain on 12 August 2010, 23:01:52
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..
Title: Re: Next Scottish Meet
Post by: Shrek on 14 August 2010, 20:05:20

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). ::)

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

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..
this was where I was thinking you also get a nice back drop of the wheel from the top level carpark

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.

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

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!
