Central Scotland Meetings

Hi

Is there anything planned soon - I wouldn't mind meeting some like minded souls - my wife thinks I'm crazy.....
It would give me an incentive to keep going with the tidying up operations on the car as well. If good weather can be arranged, the car will be there as well - just to let all those who are still wondering " I wonder how they actually go ?" see for themselves.
Let us know

JF - Cumbernauld

The meetings are normally at the Beefeater, Camelon, Falkirk... I wouldn't mind meeting up again...

Anyone going to the Scottish Kit Car Club meet tonight in Grangemouth??

You never know we could have three Locosts there Stu???

Cheers

JF, as previously stated, like minded souls usually found in Craigmarloch Lodge on a Friday night, though not this Friday coming. I see from your pictures you've moved house !!

Were you racing at Kames on Sunday there ?
Green Subaru ? I'm crap with faces, or I would have said hello.

Yep, car was double entered, you met both of us when I came to look at your chassis. Unfortunately had to use my daily driver as neither Davids car or mine are in one piece yet.

P.S. I remember you both coming over of course - just struggled to remember faces that's all.

You'd need to join EACC. Then you can use the track. Keys can be had from any of the club committee, the chairman stays quit close to you !!

JC - I went to the Scottish Kit car meeting in Grangemouth with Stu last year. Quite a few cars, but I thought the actual meeting was a bit of a bore, it was full of minutes and actions and had a chairman and a committee - it felt more like work than a kit car related social event!

So what's the date for the next Camelon Beefeater meeting? 14, 21, 28? Stu, when are you back onshore?





Car sold - looked like this when I gave up:

I know what you mean. I did go to the meeting but arrived "late" at about 8:20. I completely missed out on social standing around chatting and straight into serious meeting as you described! Wasn't that bad though some amusing stories were mixed in as well.

I'm up for next Camelon meet whenever

Cheers
JC

Is there anywhere in Linlithgow with a decent car park and beer facilities that we could meet at??

Scotlad how you finding driving the car? Weather's been pretty crappy recently.

Have you got any protection on those rear arches? Within the first week I decided to slap on some black styrene arch guards, even these have little marks on them now, but they're easily replaced by making up some more from the template.

Sometimes if I'm tweaking something I take the car out just wearing ski goggles. Even the slightest road dust from cars in front feel like a good old facial shotblasting! Not to mention the flys in your teeth lol.

Cheers

Ok then:

Friday 21st May @ Brewsters j5 M9 Falkirk from 7:30 onwards...

I'll be there with the Locost. Who else?
Stu I want to have a real good look at that Zetec install might be copying you! Have you seen the blue Zetec Locost running Jenvey's, a member of the SKCC? Can't remember his name. Sweet install...



Cheers
JC

Me too - gives me some incentive to tidy up the more extremely scabby bits. Around the front and interior mostly. It does go well enough and is a scary enough incentive for all those needing some inspiration. Your car is more an example of how to do a nice job .

Look forward to it.

I'll definitely be the slowest Locost about! Next winter is going to be spent upgrading...

Good we've got two people going who else??
