SCOTmeet
SeaBass - 16/9/04 at 12:35 PM

Anyone interested in meeting up again with cars. Seems sensible to me that it should be around Edinburgh as 3 people who attend with cars OTR live near.

Perhaps have a bit of a run as well on some local roads?

Any suggestions, Baldrick, scotlad etc??

Cheers

I will get macspeedy on the case right now!


Baldrick - 16/9/04 at 03:27 PM

Good for me - Engine still holding on. Let me know when. Anybody know of any motoring type events hapenning in the vicinity this Saturday? I think Doune is on but anything else?


SeaBass - 16/9/04 at 05:27 PM

Selkirk show is on Baldrick but I think Sat is road run only. The main show is on the Sunday. I'll be there all weekend. One of the best shows in the Scottish callender (sp?) + they have traction engines (my favourite!). See my pics of last year here.

Any progress with a date and time for the meet yet.


SeaBass - 21/9/04 at 08:26 PM

Doesn't look like it does it. I vote for this Friday @ 7:30pm who can make it?

I'll be putting the car away for the winter soon anyway (lol).

Cheers

Ok I can meet Friday night or Sat night. What about others??

All those venues give me just about enough of a drive to have fun getting there. Where is this pub by macspeedy's Dave?

Just about to check weather...

Edinburgh Weather

Looks OK ish

Would be good to see you Scotlad. Talk about your track excursions etc.

Cheers

how come you guys are always meeting when I am working. I don't get back till 5th of october. Never mind had a good couple of runs this time of and no leaks!!!


scotlad - 22/9/04 at 03:53 PM

Beefeater at south queensferry sounds like a good bet- reasonable run to get there- pub at mcspeedys (fairmile)only 10 mins up the road for me an 10secs along road for him!


dave1888 - 22/9/04 at 04:23 PM

South queensferry then


macspeedy - 22/9/04 at 04:25 PM

what time and wheres the beafeater in south queensferry and what day? all very confusing


dave1888 - 22/9/04 at 04:39 PM

Saturday 7pm beefeater at s queensferry. A90 head towards F F bridge then take the exit before the bridge turn left at the roundabout then right into garage/mcd/beefeater

Baldrick - 24/9/04 at 11:13 AM

Not sure what my social secretary has arranged but if I can get there I will.


athoirs - 26/9/04 at 11:48 AM

Sorry guys did not manage to make it...

please let me know if your going out again..

Andy


macspeedy - 26/9/04 at 02:22 PM

sorry didn't make it either, the car was leeking lots of oil from the bottom front oil seals,
we stripped it down and found a broken piston ring, the pressure was getting past the piston
and pushed the oil out heating of the oil also made it thinner which would not have helped,
bit of a nucience but it means we get a chance to get a working dip stick
and change the gearbox as first is very difficult to get if moving at all
should be back on the road within the week


Baldrick - 27/9/04 at 04:04 PM
