Re - Scottish Regional News October/November 2003 magazine

I was feeling down in the dumps this morning, until through the letterbox dropped my Club Magazine.

I eagerly ripped the wrapper off, looked up the index for the Scottish Regional News and started reading it.

I haven't laughed so much since the last meet at the Hawes - congrats to Gary/James on a superb write up.

Exactly, keep to the topic - the purpose of the post was to thank Gary for his excellent and witty report in the Club Magazine and draw it to peoples attention - perhaps you should read it instead of nit-picking these posts?

But as you mention it, this picture has been published before and exactly the same comments were made then - numerous times - ha ha

If we want to start and get picky, perhaps you could sort out the logo at the top of the page - explain why the Scottish Region Forum displays the Irish Region badge??

Good writing in Magazine James and Gary, job well done.

Its excellent having a 2 or 3 page spread on our might land of scots in the BMW Car Club magazine, keep up the good work. Must say, I had a wee tear in my eye when I seen the picture of Fraser thoroughly enjoying his much loved M3 But, I've got the same Plate on the new one to remember the black one by. How nice?

It's all Gary's words, I just assist Giles to be able to print them by rephrasing some of Gary's metaphors!

I've said it before and no doubt will say it again,

I have a new one in the making so beware, you have been warned

In my excitement, I never even looked at the front cover of the magazine. The picture (from Gaydon)was taken from behind us and shows Fergus's 330D, the group of Zeds and the red E36 Cab.

Gary - I'm getting paranoid about this God of the Sun / Son of God thing.
Was in Motherwell today and this Ned says "Nice motor Big Man".
Fortunately I managed to get out before he could get the wheels off.

Can someone post a link to the unedited version? Like Neil, I was in fits of laughter reading the article when I got back from hols.

Looking forward to the uncut version

Cheers, Steve Gill
