Hi there, could anyone tell me if there is a locost club or group that meets somewhere in central scotland. Cheers Stuart Falkirk

Stu,

I'm based in Denny and there are a couple of other builders in the Falkirk area. (Dunc & Ewan Spence).

I'm not a member but the Scottish Kit Car club meet up in Grangemouth - see my reply to Hornet's post in the "Locost Related" section.

I'm in Falkirk.


escary - 14/8/02 at 12:25 PM

so should we all take the bull by the horns and meet up?


MarkD - 14/8/02 at 08:55 PM

I'm happy to meet up - I'll have to come in my family car though - my Locost is still a set of badly welded tubes in the garage at the moment.

Greasy Spoon cafes with large car parks seem to be the the prefered venue for the Southern meetings. The only cafes I can think of are the two near the Kincardine Bridge. Any other suggestions ? We could meet up at a pub?


Big Stu - 16/8/02 at 11:18 AM

I am willing to meet up any time. I hear there is a Kit Car show this weekend somewhere near Irvine, had anyone got any detail. Anyway any night suits me or the weekend. I am going away on Wed of next week for a week but apart from that just name the venue. Although pub sounds good


MarkD - 19/8/02 at 12:49 PM

Handy pubs with parking near to the M9 motorway are Beancross or Cadger's Brae near Grangemouth & Polmont. Anyone got any better suggestions?


Big Stu - 30/8/02 at 12:23 PM

As I said anywhere suits me, so if you decide on somewhere give me a call. 07761579560 after 4pm monday to friday. I live in Polmont so if anyone wants a lift give me a call.


escary - 30/8/02 at 03:23 PM

I'm up for most sunday nights except the 8th of sept.
However if you guys just can't wait Friday the 6th at 19.30 is cool for me.
Camelon beefeater sells stella on draught.
Anyone got a better reason for a better pub?
And also my locost looks like a modern art sculpture (you know lots of tubes stuck together so don't laugh at my ride)

I'll keep an eye on the site for updates

Regards

Right Friday night, 19:30 in the Beefeater in Camelon. I will be there, but will check this page before I go incase of any changes.

C u there,

Stu


MarkD - 2/9/02 at 12:14 PM

I'm off to Blackpool on Friday 6th for the weekend, so I won't be able to make it. I'll try and get to the next one.

Game on boys, definately see you Friday 19.30.
Never mind carrying roses and copies of fhm, I'll be the one in leather!

Regards

Ewan


Dunc - 2/9/02 at 01:18 PM

Hey Guys, I might make it friday but I'll need to wait and see.


Zilboy - 2/9/02 at 11:18 PM

I'll drop along for a wee hour as well - I'm only along the road in Cumbernauld. It would be nice to see some similarly pained faces ;-)


haggis - 3/9/02 at 12:06 AM

Hi Guys , I will come along as well see you all at the bar on friday .


Hornet - 7/9/02 at 05:54 PM

tried to make it doods, but din't maybe next time eh?


Dunc - 7/9/02 at 11:13 PM

Sorry I didn't manage to stay as long as I'd hoped, next time I'll try and make it earlier so I din't miss most of the conversation.


Hornet - 8/9/02 at 08:18 AM

Dunc, can you supply sus'p brackets? if so how do i get in touch with you?


escary - 8/9/02 at 12:05 PM

a good night had by all, next meet looks like it will be in polmont, about four weeks time?
Game for suggestions.

Regards
Ewan


Big Stu - 8/9/02 at 01:07 PM

Alright? Yeah Friday night was pretty good shame I had to leave a bit early though. however it would appear that we have already got a wide range of source for various bits and pieces and some good knowledge. Anyway getting back to a conversation we had on the night. I have looked around a bit and the best deal I can see is for the MK chassis. It comes with all wishbones and all fibre glass bits needed. The non IRS is £750 and the IRS with Hubs fitted (exchange) is £995 + VAT hmmmmmm. Something to discuss next time.

First round is one me next time.

Cheers

Stu


Zilboy - 8/9/02 at 06:13 PM

Apologies for not making it on Friday - working again :-((((((

Will try to be there at polomint - where my 1st Robin Hood came from :-)))))
