Well, Im in Livingston so im easy where. Only trouble would be when as Im pretty busy most of the time with two kids, work, my mobile disco and generally getting drunk every opportunity I can.

Been to Crail a couple of times with the car and expected to see some others particularly at the last Jap meet they had, still 1/4 mile runs are not every bodys cup o tea. (best time is 15.062, thats why i need mods)

Legnum VR4, no mods yet but I have plans - Rolling road test first at Star performance i think (used by Western mitubishi in Edinburgh so they must be all right) to see what there to begin with then boost controller first, dump valve just because I like scaring the punters in Asdas car park, yer mans de cat pipe is also planned............

presumably a Sat or Sun?


I think i'm free most weekends, just need a bit of notice to clear it with the entertainments manager (wife!!)
and make sure i'm not on standby for the work - which i think the next one is 7 & 8th August

Don't put me down yet, but I'm thinking that it'd be great to meet all of you, so when you decide where you're meeting and when, I may make the journey with Dave :)

if some of the member's from down south are wanting to meet then maybe we should think of a meet near the border region??hang on have we not had this idea before?? berwick or something??

If you are going to meet in the border region then Keilder has to be considered. Easy parking, mad roads and nice sites for picnics. Just a thought, maybe a little south for you. But I've had some great fun around there.

No offence Darren, but Keilder aint anywhere near Scotland ;)

Hi Guys,
I'm interested in coming along whenever and where ever, Scotland's not that big and all going according to plan it shouldn't take me long to get anywhere!!, once I get the car I'm after, (hopefully very soon), I'll let you know when I get it, I'll watch this thread for info, I am in Irvine, Ayrshire, 30 mins from Glasgow, cheers Louis :D

Dumfries is fine for me. Meet on the White sands car park in the town centre and take it from there?

Need to get back to you on the dates, but a sunday would be preferable for me. I will try and go with the majority tho.

I drive to work to Dumfries every day from Livingston! Not in the VR-4 mind you. The missus does the school run in her.

I did take it down one day to let the guys I work with see it and it cost me £35 in petrol :dozey:

Cheers
Shooter

cheers shooter :-D you anicipated my next question, where exactly we should meet I only suggested the area because its easy to get to and the

contingent of 'proper' VR4's making the trip north of the border :-D woudn't have far to travel either.
All we need to do now is set a date.
post either sat 17 or sun 18th and we'll go with the majority, if that seems fair
