[Crombers]

After last years F&M i'm a no-no :frown:

Maybe Aberdeen won't be as bad but others who were at last years F&M may also vote similarly :sad: (sadly chav/ned city)

Best of luck

[RyanK]

Nice one!

Was offered the gp but don't have a steady income at the moment so to speak, so i think its going elsewhere lol

[Forbes]

Being speaking to Chrisj and we are going to try and get NewMiniScotland and AMOC together at the show and try do something to celebrate the 50years of Minis

[Forbes]

Is anyone else intrested? I need to send off how many cars we will be taking this week.

First page updated

[Bumble]

I'll be there, likely to be home a lot around then cos my sis will have had her baby by then.

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

Hi Ben...

Put me down as a maybe.. Should be ok for it though...

Will take the Clubby, but my son wants to take his Cooper as well... :smilewinkgrin:

[Forbes]

Bumble added
So you would like 2 spaces S-a-l-t-i-r-e? Both Maybe?

[Forbes]

Sending this off tonight, i will ask for 7 spaces. Hopefully i will get other Minis in but we have 4 confirmed. Will keep those concerned up to date. Cheers folks

[shaunbhoy67]

i would be interested in coming along so stick my name down for it, i will make sure i have the day off if there is space though obviously!

Shaun

[Forbes]

I will add you as a reserve just now but sure we can get another place if need be

[..S-J..]

I am a maybe for just now, I will more than be able to go though.

[Forbes]

I will add you on to the list. I will contact the organisers next week regarding extra spots

[shaunbhoy67]

cheers mate much appreciated :thumbs up:

[Forbes]

First page updated. We are able to get 9 cars for this. Just waiting to hear from Chris about the joint stand. But if everyone who put their name down can confirm we will have a nice little stand by ourselves if it comes to it.
Cheers Folks

[RyanK]

Cheers Forbes, If you need a hand with anything give me a shout

[Forbes]

Seems all straightforward so far:D Might need help changing another part of my car soon though;)

[shaunbhoy67]

[Forbes]

Good to hear, i will confirm you

[shaunbhoy67]

[Forbes]

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

Clubby will be there as well... :D

[Forbes]

That's great. Saw you the other day in Culter in Vikkis mums car.

[Forbes]

Can S-J and PASL please confirm if you are coming. Anyone have any other contact details for PASL because i have not heard or seen him online since he said yes. In the next few weeks i will send out a e-mail asking for your car model, reg and no. of passengers.

Cheers folks looking at the list of clubs attending it should be good

[Gismo]

Anyone have any other contact details for PASL because i have not heard or seen him online since he said yesSend him a PM, by default this triggers an e-mail to his registered account and should make him aware you are trying to contact him :thumbs up:

[Forbes]

I did previously, but will try again cheers.

[Forbes]

Would anyone like to be a reserve for this event. If S-J and PASL do attend I will still try to get you a spot:thumbs up:

[Forbes]

"Sorry for the late reply, All cars need to be on site before 9:30am, car can start coming from 7;30am on wards as ill be there to open the gates. There will be several catering vans there on the day, coffee vans, doughnut vans, burgers and chips, Pizza's, sandwitchs, fudge and candy floss... there will be something for every taste. We will hopefully have some carnavil rides and a few big kid things too like blow up sumo wrestling and inflatable bungee run... "

Pinched from another site but gives us times.

So would 8 at Tesco Bridge of Don suit everyone? This still gives us time to organise the stand and some prep time for once we arrive (though most only have short journeys). Hope this suits. Let me know your thoughts

[Forbes]

I know it is kind of short notice but is anyone else interested in coming along to this as Bumble is no longer able to make it?

8 sounds fine... :-)

[shaunbhoy67]

ye that sounds good to me i will just meet you at the tesco at 8 that is not a problem at all! will see you all next weekend

[V3 NGS]

Hi guys.. I would be interested in coming along, if there are any spaces left?? I have a question about the stand.. What are the cars going to be there for ie. Under bonnet, interior, exterior, MODs, or just to show numbers for NMS all are good but would like to know how good to clean the car LOL. I could bring the bike as well if required....

[dellie]

Forbes, im really sorry but i wont manage on Sunday, ive been asked to work - 4 hours at double time!!

[Forbes]

Cheers for letting me know Dellie.

V3NGS if you look here (http://www.northeastmotorshow.com/about.html) you will see what competitions are on then you can decide what you want to go for. I might spruce up under the bonnet even though there if nothing to see and then concentrate on the exterior and clean up inside.

As for the Bike i would prefer to keep it all Minis as we are on with Aberdeen Mini Owners Club aswell. Though there is a bike club or two going you could ask them

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

I'm going to be busy on Saturday...!!!

2 Minis to wash/polish/wax/hoover/clean wheels/under bonnet etc...etc... :thud:

[Forbes]

Same here. So much to do so little time....

[shaunbhoy67]
