05-10-09, 05:08 PM
Greg1.4 came down to see me on Sunday as he's just passed his test and he was saying he was speaking to Stevie (Another Scottish member but he's no paid up yet) and he was saying that they were going to organise a wee Meet but there no sure where yet...
I'm up for it as I reckon it would be somewhere fairly local and we could get some cars for it
I think what Greg was saying is that himself, Stevie, me, Greg (my mate with the silver Nova) and Greg1.4's mate with a Nova SRi was going to meet up for the banter/pictures etc
Was just wondering if anyone else fancied it ?

12PM APPROX.
Cheers, Vaughan :thumb:
Could be up for, that may even loose the other half for the afternoon.
You got a postcode?
G53 6QR, although theres loads of car parks so would need to state which one.
Ive just checked and this is near enough 100 miles from me. What time would I need to leave at to make it for midday-ish?
vaughanmc
12-10-09, 02:49 PM
I reckon leave about somewhere between 9.30/10.00 AM...Traffic could be in any mood either busy or quiet so you never know...
I've never been to Silverburn and I couldn't tell you what's all there...
Graeme, you pick a carpark and we'll go for that one :thumb:
best bets probably the park n ride car park?
vaughanmc
12-10-09, 03:46 PM

Errr pass as ive not tried it, you need a bleed valve and boost guage to do it safely otherwise you will end up with an engine thats hendrix'd
