Well today was the 1st meet of the year

We met up at St Johnstone FC Carpark around 1300pm

the rain stayed off so we could all have a look around the motors and meet some new faces(some nice cars BTW)

Then onwards to Wheel Inn for lunch and general chit chat

Thanks to all the guys and girls that made the effort to come out despite the severe weather warnings.

Especially StephenPerry,Silverbeastie and Zeddy3 for making the journey south.Hopefully more Northern members will make it next time.Also thanks for Chas C Who came to meet us at Duthie Park and taking the run to Stonehaven

I drove 200 miles round trip and not a flood in site

Any way see you all at the Hawes at end of month

Also thanks to those that bought forum stickers today

We raised 15.50 for the club

Can do - assuming Paul is still in Murieston in Jan might be worth the three of us meeting at Deer Park Services just off junction 3?

Will try to pop along if weather ok... not taking too many chances until Racelogic goes on being the panzy.

Chance to discuss video project and see Shorty's DVD.. If I can't then anyone so far signed up plz let me know any developments.

Cheers

Elton

I'll head out for this one too, unless it's 6foot snow and 100mph gales

... enjoyed the Perth meet last March.

Let's hope for a day like to day.. the best.. cold and crisp and blue skies..

Oh ... welcome to the forum

Hi Craig,

 So any suggestions as to where to meet ? I live in Blantyre.

Fergus.

Might pick you up there also Wendy if I can make it...

Anyone got a digicam to get some footage for the video project.. might as well make an early start...

You go girl..

zeddy3 wrote: anyone travelling down from moray

im in elgin, not sure whether to go straight down A9 or go across to aberdeen and convoy down

we could meet up either way for the run down to perth, which would you prefer - a9 or across to aberdeen then dual-carriageway all the way down?

 aberdeen sounds good

more milage and extra fuel for the zed, but could be a more intresting trip down

starting from elgin aswell, where and what time do you want to meet?

cheers si

ill see what time the aberdeen folks are planning to leave and we'll tie in with that if thats alright with you?

cool as it says on page 1

Depart Duthie Park at 11.15am

see you then

ask jon (m blur) about zeds and tricky weather, he'll give you some golden rules...

where's this snow we're meant to be getting - not a snifter here!!

Indeed Stephen.. hence Racelogic Group Buy.

gary wrote: Guys I'm going to have to pull out of this. I have just found out that because of the 3rd of the Scottish cup where Celtic take on Rangers (the great unwashed) at Paradise, all time off and rest days have been cancelled.

boooooooooooooooooo

Still not sure if I'll make it.. weather permitting.

Anyone got any digicams.. see if we can get some video and still footage. I need pics of mbr cars so I can start playing with images tho a lot of images will likely be screen prints form the DVD.

In meantime I'll pull what I can from the website.

Pete/Shorty - is it worth updating the front page list grouping into who's meeting where? I've been at a few meets where only after a few phone calls do we discover someone who we thought was meeting at (say) Stirling is actually at (say Kinross)

From reading the list there appears to be 4 meeting points so far:

Duthie Park leaving 11.15am

Brewers Fayre at Strathclyde Park leaving ?

Livingston (Deer Park Services Jct. 3 M8) leaving ?

Stirling Services leaving ?

There's talk of the Livingston and Strathclyde Park folks meeting at Stirling, then all heading up to Perth together. According to the previous posts 215m3 (Toby), Alan Ross, M3CSL (Paul) and myself (Steve) are leaving from Livingston towards Stirling. No time agreed yet.
