There is the possibility of arranging a visit to the driver training department at 'Strathclyde Police' training centre in East Kilbride. It would need to be an evening visit from about 7-9pm. Numbers would be limited to 20 and it would be towards the end of June. The visit would consist of an input into police driver training, a chance to drive a manoeuvrability course and go out with one of the instructors for a demo drive( hopefully in a very nice 530!) If anyone would be interested please add your name and depending on the response I can try to arrange it. Thanks |

I have just heard back from the guy at driver training, Due to the commonwealth games the visit would need to be after they have finished. He has proposed a Wednesday evening, 13th, 20th or 27th August. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Barry |

I'll be pushing my luck for those dates on the account that the E60 will have just had a baby seat fitted in the back.

27th would be best for me as I am on holiday the fortnight over the Gaydon weekend so likely to be away the 13th or the 20th. Thanks for organising this!  ------------- |

I have emailed the guy at driver training to let him know the 27th would be the preferred date. He is now off on leave so it will be a few weeks before I hear back, but I will update the post when I do. Thanks |

What, at missing a shot on a skid pan?
 The E60 is finally coming into its own.

Ok folks, They have asked that we are there for 6.45 to start at 7. The training centre is on eaglesham road (B764) at at roundabout with the junction of Ocein Drive in East Kilbride, G75 8GR. If people are unsure of how to get there we could meet at Bothwell services, from there we would come off at the next junction(J5) which is the raith interchange and onto the A725 to East KIlbride. This can be very busy and I would suggest leaving the services no later than 6.20 I appreciate people will coming from work but the earlier we could meet the better. Thanks Barry |

Firstly, thanks to Barry for organizing and to the instructors at the Police College - an educational and fun evening The evening was an insight into the driver training police officers go through before being let loose on police business - their training takes a number of days The visit was broken up into 3 sessions
I sure everybody enjoyed the visit and that our driving on the way home was much improved on that on the way there Some of my photos from last night - Click on thumbnail to see larger image http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_01.jpg" rel="nofollow">  http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_02.jpg" rel="nofollow">  http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_03.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_04.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_05.jpg" rel="nofollow">  http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_06.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_07.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_08.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_09.jpg" rel="nofollow">  http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_10.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_11.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_12.jpg" rel="nofollow"> http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/meets/2014/aug/img/dtrain_13.jpg" rel="nofollow">  ------------- |
