Central Scotland meet soon?
Big Stu - 25/6/03 at 11:20 AM

It's been about a month since our last meet, where we struggled to get a seat coz there were so many people turned up however still managed to have a hang over the next day.

I am free now until the 17th of July where I will be stuck in the middle of the north sea for two weeks.

Someone suggest a date and venue.

Does anyone have a complete car to bring?


Big Stu - 26/6/03 at 12:06 PM

I might have a complete car depending on when we meet, there is not to much to do now.


SeaBass - 6/7/03 at 05:09 PM

I'm in but the rad on my daily drivers sprung a leak. Should be fixed this week hopefully...


escary - 12/7/03 at 02:10 PM

i'm up for a few pints of stella
how about 25th of july at the beefeater 7.30?

and mark, engineers are taking ages on the drive axle brackets so i've went elsewhere (today) expect them in a week or so

Regards
Ewan


Big Stu - 12/7/03 at 05:58 PM

Sorry guys can't make that date stuck in the middle of the north sea then. Get back on the 1st of August for 2-3weeks.


escary - 13/7/03 at 11:06 PM

1st friday of august ok as well, just wanted to get the ball rolling with a date.
friday the 1st or 8th ok for me


Jumpy Guy - 14/7/03 at 08:23 AM

where do you meet?


Dunc - 14/7/03 at 10:56 AM

1st no good for me, something about getting keys to a house that day, 8th is better.


Big Stu - 14/7/03 at 12:30 PM

8th of august good for me too, might even have the zetec up and running by then. Meeting at the beef eater unless anyone has a better idea?


Big Stu - 14/7/03 at 12:31 PM

escary - 15/7/03 at 05:14 PM

Ewan


MarkD - 19/7/03 at 02:09 PM

I'm sunning myself in Menorca at the moment... so the 8th should be OK with me.

Mark


scutter - 20/7/03 at 05:51 PM

Any space for a southern in this here meeting?

Bit of a drive, but would like to make it down from Leuchars.

Dan


Dunc - 21/7/03 at 02:18 PM

Everyone is welcome here.


escary - 21/7/03 at 06:28 PM

Anyone who wants should come even if thay are as far on as i am (ha ha, think i'm still running last due to lack of time but week off in september should see that problem resolved)

may well be bringing a new member to the group myself, lending the book to a chap (Ricky Kay) at work tommorow who was considering a tiger avon.

But someone (me) may well have talked him into locost instead, if anything but for the cameradrie, and beer with the guys at the beefeater.

See you all soon

Regards
Ewan

P.S. Mark found the problem with drive axle brackets and resolved it so gimme a call upon your return as they should be ready soon.


Big Stu - 22/7/03 at 11:17 AM

You might as well let him keep your book euan as it is probably just holding up a leg on your bed........ Mind you I can't say too much been about two months just fitting a new engine and only about half way through.


ijohnston99 - 22/7/03 at 07:10 PM

Stu,
You may have said this before but...

What ya doing with your old engine and 'stuff'?

Ian


Big Stu - 22/7/03 at 07:45 PM

Sorry Ian, but I sold the engine to someone in Birmingham I took it down there when I was getting the new one. I have a 4 Speed gearbox that you are welcome to take off my hands. Rover v8? got a couple of them hanging about. Stage 2 head for crossflow although that is not really mine but it is for sale if anyone wants it.

escary - 22/7/03 at 09:00 PM

technically this is the lowcost builders site.

not quite the same thing as lowcost buyers site Stu.

1st pint on you for your cheek!

but quite right all the same

Regards
Ewan


Big Stu - 25/7/03 at 08:12 AM

Sorry Euan looks like we will have to leave the boxing match till next time. I am stuck out in the middle of north sea at the moment and I phoned home last night to be told that she has booked a holiday for my first time off........ I was planning on getting the car back on the road. So will not get back till the 9th now sorry guys hope you have a good night anyway. If anyone fancies a pint the next week drop me a line as I have a feeling that i will be in the pub most nights.


escary - 25/7/03 at 01:42 PM

quite possible styu will keep you updated, Ron and myself will be out on tjrsday if only for one after squash about 10.00pm.

Regards
Ewan


MarkD - 1/8/03 at 11:12 AM

Dan,

I used to do this journey has part of my every day commute when I was on 228 OCU.

Hope you can make it - I'll bring my sandbags.

Mark


scutter - 1/8/03 at 03:59 PM

Just out of interest, roughly how long it take?

Dan.


Jumpy Guy - 1/8/03 at 04:09 PM

Would be good to see, if only to embarrass me into getting a move on with my own!!


MarkD - 1/8/03 at 10:22 PM

Dan,

It's about 65 miles - used to take around an hour.

Mark


MarkD - 7/8/03 at 11:35 AM

Who's going to be able to make it tomorrow?

I'll be there around 8-ish.

Mark


Dunc - 8/8/03 at 08:50 AM

Don't know if I'll make it tonight, actually move into house today but I might get away for an hour to say hello.


MarkD - 9/8/03 at 02:11 PM

Quite a poor turnout last night - it must have been the sunny weather. Even I had second thoughts - luckily Ewan called to make sure I was still coming.

Although only three of us made it, the chat was good and I chauffeured the guys home at kicking out time.

For the next meeting I recommend swapping mobile numbers using U2U, and also getting everyone to logon to the site the night before to confirm if they can still make it?

Mark

PS - Ewan, I checked my car insurance and it says "any other motor car", not motor vehicle, so it looks like I'm not insured to try out your bike - at least that will keep my wife happy!


scutter - 11/8/03 at 11:33 AM

Sorry gents, got knocked off at 11:00 so drove down south to see the folks.

Will try harder next time,

All the best Dan.


MarkD - 11/8/03 at 12:28 PM

Scutter - where do you work?


scutter - 12/8/03 at 11:27 AM

On the big airbase by the sea.

Dan.


MarkD - 12/8/03 at 11:00 PM

Thought that was Lossie?


ijohnston99 - 22/8/03 at 08:50 AM

Anybody going to Callendar this Sunday?

Big classic car show on there.

I'll be there (Too embarassed to say what stand I'll be helping out on though!)


Ian


Hugh Paterson - 22/8/03 at 12:47 PM

ijohnston99 - 22/8/03 at 01:56 PM

It's me and a wee bird I pulled at Knockhill whilst test driving the LMP!

Any idea where I can get her number??


Ian

[Edited on 22/8/03 by ijohnston99]
