Scottish-meet

[Big Ian]

:wavey: as spoke about (slightly) on another thread,Craig,Brian-H7 and myself would like a wee meet soon.
at the moment "strathclyde country park" on a sunday has been spoke about.
anyone else want to join in?we could use this as a "get to know more about each other" type of meet,find a cafe and have a good ole chat over coffee and cake's and maybe see about sorting out an event/show for next year that we could take part-in (jap-show)...knockhill,crail and help stamp CVR4 about Scotland.....well what do you guy's think?
if it's strathie-park,it would be better meeting Mid-to Late afternoon and if anyone want's,they wait to see "the cruise"
(sunday night's are well knowin for cruise meet's at the park)

Ian,

From your other thread, if Strathclyde Park is a no-go zone, maybe decide once all the names are in and pick somewhere in the middle? Scotland's no' short of open space ... ;)

Brian

[Big Ian]

most off the trouble ive heard about,only happen's at night...but your right Brian there's load's of places we could have a meet...could even try a service station,Harthill for example,main road,easy to get to,ample parking and fresh coffee?

[strangebat]

I've heard a few bad things about strathy park recently, hows about meetin up somewhere with hotel those who want to can stay, have a few beers etc

[Big Ian]

ok let's get the wheel's rollin on this!

how does this look for a meet/dayout ?

www.sterlingmotormania.co.uk
(more of a classic theme to it)

also i'm going to ask if they have a Jap-Car day/show planned for next year as they cater for all car taste.
on that note who would like to take part in a jap-car show/event in scotland next year..ie=Knockhill,Crail or local show's?

[Roadrunner]

Looks good to me :) Bit different, which is :cool1:

ive got a passion for older car's and this place look's like it got thing's we can have a bit O fun with aswell (car game's/fun,cafe,bar)
and if we want to make a bigger event from it, Stirling aint to far away for a night out?
Also plenty of good road's in the area ;) .

[strangebat]

looks ideal, good find Ian, lets set a date-before xmas??

[Big Ian]

for a day meet or over night?..i should be OK for a day meet,before Xmas

[strangebat]

i just realised there are only a couple of weekends left to x-mas, and i'm sure a lot of people are busy until then, so it may be better to leave it till the new year.

yeah,fair point Yan..howz about mid jan-05? (once the hang over has cured)

[Roadrunner]

That's good for me :) Kinda busy at weekends just now anyway - in the process of buying a house through in your neck of the woods ;) and hoping to get it within the next couple of weeks so could be busy moving furniture soon ...

[Big Ian]

( ;) with-out to much detail)...what area are you looking at Brian?

[Big Ian]

just thought i'd drop new's of a local meet.....this friday night a local web-site is trying to get a meet/cruise together? http://www.lomondcruise.com/
either at Lomond shore's (Balloch) or Drumchaple retail park (burger king+pizza hut)....if anyone is interested give me a shout an i'll keep you up-dated
don't think it'll be to busy about 20 modded car's from Greenock+Glasgow,and some from stirling and of course west Dunbartonshire.
get's you out the house for a while and maybe wee could brain wash them into buying Galant's (in some shape or form :rolleyes5 )

[Roadrunner]

what area are you looking at Brian?
Howwood. Hoping to get the keys this week :)

[Roadrunner]

if anyone is interested give me a shout
Can't do Friday evenings or Saturdays for the foreseeable future, I'm afraid :(

[Big Ian]

Howwood. Hoping to get the keys this week :)

nice area,some very nice house's there.
the area is about half way between,Yan,myself +Craig,Ritch,louis
hope it all goes well ;) .

[strangebat]

I'm sick of having to re-register on that site, Ian let me know if anything comes of it. cheers
yan

[Big Ian]

Hi guy's hope you all had a nice time over the new year :D
just thought i'd see if anyone would be interested in a "wee gathering" at the venue i'd posted last month?..we can have a look at some history, talk about forth-coming scottish event's or just talk about anything at-all and have a bit of a laugh with the R/C car's etc...

how does: sunday 30th jan sound?

http://www.sterlingmotormania.co.uk/

also if anyone is interested,their will be a meet/cruise on the 5th Feb in Helensburgh..it's still getting put together but there should be car club's from all area's of scotland......

[strangebat]

[Roadrunner]

Don't know if I can make the 30th - I'll find out in a couple of weeks ...

Update: Rearranged things so I can now make the 30th :)

[Roadrunner]

[Big Ian]

anyone still up for this "wee meet" or are folk thinking more in favour of the scottish-jap club meet in march?

[Roadrunner]

I'm easy, Ian. If it's not worth doing for three, happy to wait till March. I'm sure Mrs H would be happy to see me on Sunday seeing she doesn't get to see me much any other time now ;)
