Notwithstanding other events already planned anyone interested in a regular meet once a month in sunny (har har) weegie land? All kitcar builders welcome, seems that theres enough working on a variety of pojects to network ideas a bit more if u r up for it

jambo - 16/1/09 at 05:34 PM

delboy - 16/1/09 at 05:38 PM

I'm up for that. It would be good to put some faces to the names on here.


scootz - 16/1/09 at 05:39 PM

Aye... why not - as long as its the east-side of Weegieville!!!


TGR-ECOSSE - 16/1/09 at 06:32 PM

I'm up for it but i don't have a car yet


Jumpy Guy - 16/1/09 at 07:17 PM

Yep, count me in...


dave1888 - 16/1/09 at 07:18 PM

Something near showcase perhaps.


phoenix70 - 16/1/09 at 07:26 PM

gets my vote too


goodguydrew - 16/1/09 at 07:33 PM

I would come. I agree, it would be great to meet the neighbours


Hugh Paterson - 16/1/09 at 07:54 PM

Dave's hit on a good idea, somthing near showcase, would allow easy access to those from the far East, (Bathgate, Edinburgh and Lothians) to join us without getting lost and trying to follow tom tom instructions into little Beruit Hows about the Pub in the Bowling Alley at the showcase, easy to find, reasonable parking, gets my vote. Any one got a suggested day/date in mind??

thunderace - 16/1/09 at 08:13 PM

cumbernauld would be good as the who town is like a race track (just take a look at multimap )and there is a new underground carpark in the new town centre its in the middle falkirk stirling glasgow edinburgh with great road network round it .
do you need a finished car to come along?
as i bet more than 50% of us are playing with what may be somthink like a car one day so we hope.


Hugh Paterson - 16/1/09 at 08:24 PM

If I find out your an estate agent in Cumbernauld Thunderace im going to fall of my perch and split my sides

scootz - 16/1/09 at 08:41 PM

Showcase is grand!


LoMoss - 16/1/09 at 09:30 PM

Do I need to bring my passport. Its a different world past Harthill.

Moss


jambo - 16/1/09 at 09:49 PM

showcase is a good point for me to


thunderace - 16/1/09 at 10:32 PM

the mk1 golf club meats there but when it rains there is no shelter for your cars.thats why i said cumbernauld .


Hugh Paterson - 16/1/09 at 10:49 PM

I fear, thunderace might be right, how many of u plan to come in open top cars in the middle of winter I like showcase cause its pretty central but its pretty much out in the open, anyone require a cover for their car or a duvet?? weekend or weekday evening?? I would prefer a Sat or Sun.
look forward to yer views

zilspeed - 16/1/09 at 11:03 PM

There won't be any finished cars there I would suggest. (I'm at least 6 weeks away from it being a car again.)

Showcase isn't a terrible idea for me either.

Then once it's no longer winter, I'll propose Forrestburn again rather predictably seeing as.

1) It's on the M8 at Harthill so is bloody awkward handy for everyone in equal measure.
2) We've got a track there. Where better to bring Se7ens.

jambo - 16/1/09 at 11:24 PM

just had a thought about all the neds at the showcase if in the better weather we have our trick cars with us.


jambo - 16/1/09 at 11:25 PM

track, what track?

Forrestburn hillclimb near Harthill.

Very central between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

The video is of Athoirs of this very forum.
