Robin, mate you are more than welcome to compete in this club especially with your current car. Simply stunning.

I hope i did not offend you as I was only having a wee laugh about not getting anything (apart from a torch).

I only entered to keep the numbers up and to give me a target to get my car up and running.

As Dunc has said we are an all encompassing club with no airs and graces, Well you would all know that anyway talking to me with my tourettes

Thanks Dunc, well put - with all my hobbies, I don't have
time to work

My Laptop, on which I do all my photography stuff on, is currently away
for repair and all the batch tools I normally use are not set up on my PC -
therefore I'm having to do each photo manually, which is taking the time.

At the moment, I also have 225 photos from the Highlander weekend and
340 photos from the Llandow weekend currently WIP. I'm also currently
compiling a DVD of everyones photos from Llandow.

So apologies to those who don't think I'm working quick enough. I will
get them done, as well as a web page on BMWCCScotland, just bear with
me

Please stop this drivel right now.

- We have no entry rules other than only a BMWCC member may win the shield. So anyone who wished to enter on the day could - I personally handed Robin his entry form. Looks like I'll need to sort that for next year to prevent this type of dross but this year I was focussed on the judging criteria. It's my fault I missed the Pete/Ian posts earlier regarding the Scooby entry as the Scoob would have been welcome - I'll try not to let that happen again.

- NeRo is a very busy man. He's put up those photos he has prepped - unsurprisingly on a BMW forum from a BMW event, his primary focus was posting BMW pictures. He's particular about his work and wants posted images to be as he wishes so there's no point rushing someone who does this as a hobby and favour to us all.

Any further sniping on this issue will result in thread lockage, post removal or bans. It demeans us all.

I hate to be akward,

But why is there no posting up a few pics of the 4 place winning car (mine, porsche) still sorting them out nero? hmmm?? (as per pm)

after all, I WAS ASKED to enter,

I DID win 4th place,

but now its seems its become a liability  

from this i can only assume i and whatever car i have (and it wont be boring whatever it is) will be unwelome at any future events

you may wish to bear in mind that not everybody stays with bmw, as NERO was saying to me on sunday, " a lot of his friends have moved to aston martins" but its still good to see them" quote.

just not porsches it would seem?

I have now disposed of my " judas prize " and will make a donation to the RNLI at the weekend.

Looks like a good meet... Sorry I didn't make this one, haven't had a chance to look at that coolant leak yet
 

Oh and I know all about the weather being utter b****x, seeing that I rode the 75 miles to my folks house to borrow one of my dad's cars. Riding an R1 in that weather is more akin to torture than anything resembling fun but seeing that I had a trip to Sheffield organised for today I wasn't left with much choice with the 840 temporarily out of commission.

Maybe next time

for a laugh I would like to see my score sheet. not for my score(I know there's room for improvement)but to see what you were looking for and how the scoring worked.

btw Shamus nice to meet you and mrs Shamus and a big for your motor, looking forward to seeing the 2 of you at some meets in the future.

You scored 482/630 placing 5th overall which is very creditable indeed!

Areas to work on next time to claw up the rankings are your wheels, wheel arches and in-car accessories.
If you're interested, I can bring your score sheet along to the next meet.

Guys had a great day as you know this is only my 2nd event well 1 and a half. I would just like to say thank you to everyone for making me and her indoors (Allison) feel very welcome. (Can be strange meeting new people but wussnae).

Wicked noise off the Red M5 but the E46 M3 was stunning and what an engine bay.... He must sleep in there .

I wasn't going to put the car in as I wasn't sure what was happening so I'll even bring a couple of cloths next year to clean it.

Is there anyway I could see what my car actually got out of the 610 or what ever it was?

Cracking line up of cars even the new BMW Porker series.

Gary the car is looking good mate won't be long now till all the wee bits and bobs are finished eg New steering wheel .

So again thanks for the welcome.

Nice to put faces to the names.

Gone but not forgotten..
