Pete, I took the tii to this event last year, just wondered if you fancied organising a BMW car club presence this year?

It's a pretty good day out, and loads of cars from Lambo's to Model T fords! The supercar blast around the track is good to watch!

I'm sure they'd consider us as a group and might get some track parade time.

http://www.gtm.org.uk/whats_on.htm - http://www.gtm.org.uk/whats_on.htm

Sounds interesting

Maybe one for the like of your 2 cars

and anyone else that has a e30 e34 or something

We get away with our newer modles at Moffat Classic car show,but not too sure about here

what sort of year of cars attend?

Drop them an email mate and ask if you like

Dont think there is anything else planned for that weekend

Right we can have 6 cars on a club stand for this

and i think its free

Details are being sent out to me soon

as well as a stand for the club we get to drive round the track and show off cars (Not race)

So can we have names for those that would like to show there cars for this event?

More classic the better

Cheers for looking into this Pete, I've been down in Glasgow for the last couple of days!

I'd be up for sticking either the tii or the sport in for this (whichever is looking the best by then!)

Last year exibitors and passengers got free admission and get a free buffet lunch !

cool

can you edit first page and put names and cars?

Put you down for sure mate

How about both cars?

well aint seen any here

Thats why i listed the oldest ones i know that members have

nero wrote: ... and some E36/7's

Yeh plenty of e36`s

But for once lets have a classic car show stand with some older BM`s

Since the number is limited to 6 cars we should not have a problem there

I'm booked on a training course then, so should be at home.

I'll send a PM with details.

Dave

Chas you still fancy showing your classic?

Which one!  Even the E36 is ten years old now

I'd be happy enough to take the E32 along but it would be with a sign saying "awaiting restoration"

That will do,The more classic the better

Fully booked up

Pete, the Tii is going for MOT on Monday so fingers crossed ! (if it fails big time I'm sure we could stick Gary's evo in its place!)

I'm a bit hacked off as the coachbuilder that was going to be painting the 325 has gone on holiday so I don't think I'll get it tidied up before Alford!

The Tii could be done with some bodywork too but again don't think I'll have time !

No probz

Oh Dear, a few more fail items on the Tii than I expected!

• Inner Ball Joints
• Rear Box
• Brakes (All binding)
• 2 Bits of welding

If I can source the bits and get the work done in the next week or so it should still make it....but time's running out fast!!!

O well that`s not too bad for a car that age

Reminds me tho,i aint heard back fro them after sending off application.I better chase it up or we may not be going

anyone got anything in post yet?

Details were sent out this week to all of us

Nae yet, but may have come today....I'll check when I get home.

I've ordered parts for the Tii from Germany so fingers crossed they should be here on Thursday, MOT on Friday and jobs a good un!

Maybe worth putting Gary on standby if the bits dont turn up?

Cheers,

i would imagine it will be a standard case of passes non-transferable

I got my pack in this morning

Please ignore the blue one about road run as i never entered us into that.

So we need to be set up by 10.30am

I suggest we meet around 09.30am then??

Never been there before,so where will we meet?

Can everyone confirm please

you can meet up with me Gordie in Elgin and follow me through to Alford

it's up to you, cars not going on the stand so im flexible

ill pm you my mobile number as well if you havent got it

fine with me, we can meet up at the front of moray college opposite the sunninghill hotel ?

Pack arrived this am.

I'll probably take the Deeside route A93/A980 because the plod will have a heavy presence on the A944.  Its an easy 45 mins to Alford so I'll be leaving 9.45.  If anyone wants to join me, get here before 9.15 for a coffee

Pete, got both my passes in, we will aim to be there around 10:30. Anyone else heading up from the Huntly area?

My mate has organised a headwetting on the 23rd, just damn typical it clashes with the only Sunday morning of the year I have to drive!

Might have to draft in a driver last minute if I'm dog rough !

We have to be in and settled by 10.30 mate,so i would guess by the time we check in and then get cars on display we would have to be there no later than 10am??

You could always drop your car off on Sat

OK Pete, I'll make it 10am, May leave the car/s somewhere nearby on Saturday. I'll let you know if the Tii makes it through MOT in time.

Maybe I could get your mobile no. before Sunday?

I'm still in Montrose Pete, but my wife tells me that "something to do with your car" came through the post, so I'm assuming it's waiting for me at home.

In that case I'll be leaving by 9.15 so if anyone is going along the A93 route and wants a coffee on the way, you need to be at my place by 8.45am

what are you a truck stop lol

Why..., are you bringing a truck?

Bad news guys....................................I have to work all weekend

Not a very happy man right now, I'm on a training course and this weekend was supposed to be a study weekend, we've just been told that we all have to work 10 hour shifts now Saturday and Sunday.

I finish at 4:00am Sunday morning and I'm back on at 6:00 pm and I'm afraid that at my age I really need to fit some sleep in there as well!

Really sorry to mess you all about and I hope you have a great time.

Dave

No worries

would someone be in tomoz night and i could get pass?

If someone wants to come to this show now on sunday they can

I will get you in even if i have to blag you in

Argh

John has just pulled out also

so now that leaves us 3 cars (maybe 4 if 2002 is ready)

I know someone that is willing to put his e34 518 project car in (the one he bought for £70)

But need a pass

If either Dave or Alexander can let me know if a pass is available by txt tomoz (as i am away to Arbroath)

Maybe we should just cancel this one???

What you recon?

I really am not fussed

im still going to have a wander about

hopefully Gordie will still be up for it, and Darren if he can make it

stephenperry wrote: im still going to have a wander about hopefully Gordie will still be up for it, and Darren if he can make it

my ears are burning now I know why..... 

Well up for it.  Just need to get permission from Marie.  Found out there will be some TVRrrrrrssss there...... sweet!!

if theres not going to be a stand we can all meet up at about 11:15 ish at the Huntly roundabout - Me/Gordie from Elgin way and Pete/Daz from Aberdeen plus anyone else who wants to come along and trek across to Alford?

I've got the pack here in Montrose now, I could swing in past Arbroath tomorrow for a short time and drop off the pack.

Still in work now, they like to get their money's worth out of me!!

Dave

Sounds like a good scheme to me.  I'll be at the Hay Street carpark by 10.30 so we should reach Huntly by 11.15 easy enough.  I'm not sure exactly where the place is in Alford but I'm sure everyone else knows.

be at motor museum more than likely which is alfords biggest tourist attraction (i was going to say only, but theres a railway museum too lol)

mell wrote: well i may be there,going out sat nite so maybe a bit dodgeysunday morn

the eternal battle between willpower and best intentions vs. inebriation and hangovers

Ok Chas

Bigpimin

Will be leaving here with other e34 owner at 0915

Sounds pretty good

This year sees the third Motorvation! to be held on Sunday 24th July at Grampian Transport Museum. Motorvation! Replaced the Alford Cavalcade that had run for the previous 25 years and was the major fundraiser for the establishment of the Grampian Transport Museum. The formula for Motorvation! Involves heavy emphasis on extremely rare or unique motorcars that help to illustrate the story of the motorcar.

For 2005 we have already confirmed entries from both ends of the chronological spectrum with historic Victorian and Edwardian steam and motor cars contrasting dramatically with exceptional modern classics and supercars. We anticipate a unique spectacle in 2005; the chance to directly compare around thirty supercars and possibly a full set of Ferraris!

Motorvation!’s chronological sequence kicks off this year with a special guest appearance of a faithful replica of one of Hancock’s Steam Coaches that were the first effective self moving road passenger vehicles in the world. They ran in London in the 1840s. The unique carriage attending Motorvation! was built by Tom Brogden, the leading engineering replica specialist, in 2002. Tom worked from the original drawings for the ‘Enterprise’, the third Hancock carriage to be made in 1840. The chronology is rounded off with the very latest models from Lamborghini, Ferrari, Lotus, Bugatti, Maserati and Porsche. Town and County Motor Group of Aberdeen, the main specialist sponsor again for 2005, who are the local specialists in performace and prestige cars, will ensure that the event comes right up to the minute with examples of the very latest Porsche, Subaru and Range Rover models from their Tullos dealership.

Motorvation! is building to become one of the very best motorcar events in Scotland. The interest from participants this year has been remarkable and organisers expect the site to be at capacity with exceptional historic and classic cars and trade displays from locally active car dealerships. Edinburgh’s Bentley dealership are fielding two of the new Bentley Continentals and some Ferrari and Maserati supercars.
