[stoney]

Come on peeps would be nice to have 5 of us norm some good banter

Willam I would give weefossy's a shout they are norm up for this kind of thing :)

[MINIme:)]

cool! :smilewinkgrin: Although the flaw in my plan is that my car washing HERO is on a bloody cruise.... :wtf: :unsure:

Maybe someone else would be up for helping me though! I pay in money AND biscuits AND at least a month of gratitude and compliments :yes nod:

[weefossy]

William, we're up for this. Enjoyed previous shows. Think Neil will be home, so we'll bring both cars.

[bodyshop23]

Would be up for this as not to far to go.
Martin

[MINIme:)]

this is sounding better all the time. Is there a charge per vehicle / shared charge for stand?


I potentially have some immensely epic budgeting to do this year so as long as I know in advance.

[stoney]

It will be a cost for your ticket I think around £10-15 mark at the most I would think ;)

[ELFMAN]

William, stick me down for this please, it should be a laugh - and anyway I can't let the Pepper White Clan down... :cool:
Hopefully I won't have any medical emergencies to deal with! :ragin:(everything will probably have fallen out or dropped off by then :frown:)

Joanna - you can beat trees into a pulp - don't kid us you can't wash your own car! :hand:
Pick up your Wash Mitt and strike a blow for feminism! :bow:

[MINIme:)]

Joanna - you can beat trees into a pulp - don't kid us you can't wash your own car! :hand:

;) Oh, you'd be amazed what I could do with a tree :yes nod:

The car washing 'issue' is not lack of effort (well not entirely ;) ) but that I live in a 3rd floor flat and therefore also have never invested in any products or equipment :sad: or have any plan to acquire them until I have better facilities - like a driveway! Then I will get proper training in 'the way' from 'the master'.

However, radical things may be afoot. Radical I tell you. Things have been quite frankly awful enough recently to tip me into survive or die mode so big changes are being considered, which would aim to include acquisition of a driveway - so let's see if I can get things to work out! (July might be ambitious mind, but time will tell!)

Added. Sorry for the late update. I still haven't been sent the application form. I believe that it is £10 for car and driver and £15 for anyone else in the car. I will confirm when I have been sent the applcation form. So far we have 7 cars which is fantastic

[MINIme:)]

is that effectively £10 for an 'exhibitor' (including their car) and £15 for a 'visitor' then?
is it inside/outside?

I'm looking forward to this ;)

Yehp that's pretty much what I said. The show is both indoor and outdoor. We have always usually had outdoor and I hope it stays that way. As I have been indoor with MLR before and it's horrible due to the music blaring.

[stoney]

Outdoor would be best ;)

[MINI William]

Outdoor would be best ;)

I hope so

[ELFMAN]

Outdoor would be best ;)

Yes, I'd certainly prefer to have it out in the open for a tenner... :yes nod:
ps I'll see if Kylie's available to accompany me. BTW Does the passenger still have to pay £15 if they've been kidnapped by the driver? :idunno:

If she's tied up in your boot (Ohh err) then I would imagine you should be fine not paying

[ELFMAN]

I take it we'll all be wearing our usual matching NMS 'Kylie' car show-stopping Hot Pants? :dance: "Can't get them over my legs... Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na..." :clap: :bow:
Don't worry Joanna - you won't be left out, we always have spare pairs in stock :smilewinkgrin:

What a sill question Mr Elf. Ofcourse we are, my pair are currently at the dry cleaners getting there shine back. Joanna PM me your size so we can have yours ready:laugh:

[stoney]

:lol: I'm afraid I split mine

[ELFMAN]

:lol: I'm afraid I split mine

Oh Dear, won't be just the GP that's 'on show' then... :blush:

William, you still got my 'Ziggy Stardust' eye-liner? :confused:

I sure do. Are you wanting it back soonish or an I good to hold on to it for a few more weeks??

[weefossy]

Assume Guys we are going for the same look as previous years?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c394/weefossy/FastFuriousgirls2.jpg

You just had to pull that photo out ;) :lol:

[MINIme:)]

So.....the general gist (correct me if I'm wrong but I think I'm grasping it) we stand in a field, looking unfeasibly hot, wearing gold hot pants, eyeliner, (can I do a glitter bikini top and 6" heels as well? You can join me if you like) and draping ourselves across our shiny car bonnets?
Size small on the hotpants please ;)

What happens if it :rain::snow: ? still draping? I imagine I can drape successfully in the rain.
I draw the line at lightning though, lightning scares me :whiteflag:

[MINIme:)]

what worries me is that I don't like people touching my car... :unsure: and I check people's shoes if they try and get in it (Craig will testify to this!)

[stoney]

You will be ok people don't touch your car and there is all ways some one on the stand looking after the cars as such so it will be fine and dandy

As for the rain well we just have to pray its not :lol:

[ELFMAN]

what worries me is that I don't like people touching my car... :unsure:

Joanna, dressed like that, people touching your CAR might be the least of your worries... :excited:
I remember one NMS show a few years ago when I won the Wet T-Shirt Contest, the crowd couldn't keep their hands off me! I felt used and violated - but in a good way :angel:

[ELFMAN]

I sure do. Are you wanting it back soonish or an I good to hold on to it for a few more weeks??

As long as I get it back before Showtime. Been a while since I 'did a Ziggy' - but last time it was a success (see photo from early Oxford Factory visit)

Malcolm, due to that 'problem', my piercing has rusted and fallen out... and less Fake Tan next time folks, Sioban was mad at the mess we made of the seats and when Stoney's high heels went through the side bolster, there was hell to pay :ragin:

This thread has gone gloriously :off topic:hasn't it? :laugh:

[MINIme:)]

Oh Elfman, you have no idea how much I need cheering up and you've actually raised a little laugh which is quite a feat. Thank you!


ps I am so bringing my camera to this show. I reckon I can do better than those blonde girls too :yes nod:

[ELFMAN]

you've actually raised a little laugh which is quite a feat. Thank you!

You've never seen me in Hot Pants... Laugh? You might have a seizure :laugh: :thud:
Speaking of quite a feat - check THESE out!

This can either be sent to me by cheque or cash in hand works aswell, let me know how you are going to pay and I will Pm you my address. Also can you please let me know how many passengers you will be bringing along or kidnapping in Euans case. ANY ENTRY FEE PAID WILL BE NONREFUNDABLE.

William I had thought I might drive over to edin this weekend to see a friend and could have come past Loanhead with money for you, but sounds like there's no bloody petrol in the country now :frown:

Everyone still excited about this the? Less than a month to go now. I should get everything through the post in the next few weeks so we can then get meeting a meeting place and time organised. Also Craig I need to organise to get the banners etc from you

[MINIme:)]

William I should be going to Craig's for a good mini wash 2 weeks before so if he has the banners I could get them from him then? I am looking forward to this but a bit worried about getting her clean for the day esp with a long drive there! How do you usually go about it?!

[stoney]

[stoney]

That depends You will only need a quick wash if Craig is giving it good going over 2weeks before and then just a wipe down with some quick detailer on show day once there as long as its dry that is ;)

Joanna as Stoney has said aslong as the car is still fairly clean then just a wipe down with some detailing spray if not then bring some washing stuff with you and we can wash the car there. I would hopefully hope that we don't have to wash it.

[MINI William]

Elfman has them in the back of his mini ;) yep looking forward to this should be good 2shows in 2weeks for me :lol:

I need to buy some washing stuff sharpish then... I now have two buckets but that's all! It's a start.

Just a wash mit and some shampoo is all you will need to give a quick wash day before then and then some quick detailer and some cloths and will be fine

[ELFMAN]

Sorry William, forgot to tell you I had all the flaggy stuff in my boot.

Just back from Loch Awe today, car manky, but jeez, it was running sweet!

No worries Euan. Hope you had fun

[ELFMAN]

No worries Euan. Hope you had fun

Cheers William, G3 ELF and I loved every mile! :motoring: :excited:

Didn't treat it as an 'economy run' (ie much thrashing was had), but still got around 33mpg, which was OK. Could've probably added another 10+ MPG by taking it easier, but hey, where's the fun in that? Car going (and sounding) better than ever now that it's got a few more miles on good roads under its bonnet. :thumbs up:

The stuff's in the Pug's boot just now - had to make room for holiday food etc! Will transfer back to MINI tomorrow so I don't forget.

Great Euan its always good to get the car out and stretch its legs. Yeh dont forget them flags etc

[ELFMAN]

dont forget them flags etc

Don't worry, they're back in the MINI now.
Gave car a good wash yesterday, removed a load of tar spots. Will try to keep it clean for the show! Still needs a hoover and a wee bit detailing - but don't we all...?

[stoney]

mine still needs washed after it wee trip to Ireland :lol:

[MINI William]

It would appear that we have a spare ticket (not a car pass) due to my mum no longer wanting to come along to the show, Dad will still be there in the Countryman. So is anyone wanting to bring another body along?

[ELFMAN]

is anyone wanting to bring another body along?

Jeez Wills, that's a tad gruesome... :frown: Do Meguiars do embalming fluid? :idunno:

Seriously tho, I'll give Kylie a shout, but she only needs half a ticket, 'cos she's tiny :yes nod:
ps that wasn't very serious was it? Sorry.

Is there a plan for meeting up and arriving 'en masse' (that's French for 'in a mess')?

I think Stoney and I will probably be setting off from mine as usual, and hopefully we can 'collect' Joanna on the way over. Any further ideas anyone?

[ELFMAN]

William, sorry I couldn't resist.... read in you spec that you now have a "JCW CarbonFibre Boot Handel". I always new your car was a classic, but surely that's taking things too far - it'll kill the aerodynamics too. And to think we used to have to be satisfied with a JCW Sound Kit... We know you're a "Special" boy, but you're not the Messiah!

Elfman I we will be meeting at Hermiston Gate makes it easy for everyone to meet. Sadly I am waiting to get our pack through the post, which will tell us what time we are to be there for. So I will post on here, Facebook where we are meeting. Also due to the site going offline soon for the new upload if any wants a text when we are meeting let me have your number.

That's fine the only peoples number I don't have is Joanna's and David's

[MINIme:)]

pm'd!

[weefossy]

William, think you have our number? Let me know what's decided re meet up point. Do we have a Gazebo we can use?
Mom was thinking about a "mass picnic", what do you all think? Do we want to take the portable BBQ and have some burger / steak rolls, a bit like Rob's pinic run?
Is Christine up for baking a big sticky toffee pudding? I'm sure we could organise who brings what, so we have a good spread.
Or maybe everyone will just want to do thier own thing.......any thoughts?

Got your number when we were at Huntleys Malcolm. Picnic/ BBQ sounds A very good idea. I don't have a gazebo but I'm sure someone will have one they could bring along

[MINIme:)]

I am WELL up for a big picnic and BBQ :yes nod:
Mom has the best ideas :smilewinkgrin:

Sorry don't have a gazebo, hope we can find one, I am expecting rubbish weather!

[MINI William]

I hope we dont have rubbish weather. Im not cleaning the cars for it not to be.

[stoney]

So much for me trying to lose weight... there's food EVERYWHERE I GO!!!! BTW I'm rubbish at making food, but I'm great at buying crisps...
I did have a gazebo apparently, but it was removed at the hospital :knife:

[MINIme:)]

can we maybe hire one if noone has one? Now that a BBQ has been mentioned I am not going to be able to let it go! :excited:

Elfman you don't HAVE to eat....you can always just watch? :clap::tumbleweed:

I've got it now... kind of wish I hadn't!

time to get back on topic!

[MINI William]

I honestly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about :idunno:
Sorry Euan. I thought you would have heard that expression before

[ELFMAN]

I think I have a vague idea. It's not an expression I'm familiar with though. Let's draw the 'NMS Veil of Censorship' over this and move on... :off topic:
Apologies for initialising the tone-lowering - but I'm mostly innocent - it's really all William's fault - he has a shiny car, but a filthy mind :hand:

[MINI William]

Right moving on. BBQ and picnic whats everyone wanting to do, are we all just going to contribute with burgers, rolls etc etc

[ELFMAN]

BBQ and picnic whats everyone wanting to do, are we all just going to contribute with burgers, rolls etc etc

Just a wee thought - are there any rules and regs at the Car Show Re. hot stuff like BBQ's etc?

It's fine on, say, Stoney's Picnic Run, as it's only us involved and it's not within someone else's organised event. Would there be any liability issues if a member of the public was burned, or anything else untoward happened as a result of 'NMS BBQ Activities'. Not meaning to be a party-pooper, but it's better to flag these things up now rather than be wise after the event.

Valid point. Previous years at this show there have been many other clubs that have had BBQ's and I have never seen anyone have any bother

[ELFMAN]

No probs William, wasn't sure what the procedure was for the show. If it's been OK previously and there have been no "Must Nots" issued by organisers, then that's cool.

I'm not a BBQ expert myself, but if there's something I can contribute, just let me know, or I can at least contribute to the expenses incurred for the nosh etc!

[ELFMAN]

Yours are Joanna, I may have a slight problem squeezing into mine... :unsure: :blink: :explode:

[MINI William]

Right now that we have NMS back and working I will post the meeting arrangements up here. I did text everyone and got a reply from the vast majority of people. We are meeting at Hermiston Gate at 745 to leave at 8 this is due to all cars needing to be in the show ground be 9. I haven't had anything through to say that the show might be canceled due to the weather so everyone cross your fingers that the show is still on

[Gismo]

Right now that we have NMS back and working:blush:

[stoney]

No prob so what's gap paying with food then ?? I will bring some sticky toffee pudding with me any thing else ??

[DarnShiv]

If you guys are still looking for a gazebo we have one you can borrow. It's approx 2.7m sq. It also has 2 sides.

[MINIme:)]

yay the barbeque might be back on!! :smilewinkgrin:

Would you mind if it was used for this purpose / smells of barbeque when returned?

[DarnShiv]

No problem. We never use it since we put up a summer house.

[MINI William]

No prob so what's gap paying with food then ?? I will bring some sticky toffee pudding with me any thing else ??

Stoney not a clue. There is no point arranging a BBQ if its peeing down, but dont want to leave it untill the last min

[MINIme:)]

if DarnShiv are happy for us to use it then I don't see why a BBQ can't happen in the rain under their lovely gazebo ;) will be something warm to stand round as well :thumbs up:

[weefossy]

Don't panic Cpt Mannering......Mom will think about food tonight and will suggest who needs to bring what, assuming everyone is OK with that? Or does anyone want to do their own thing?
Elfman I suggested you could clean up your "rammakins" and do some souffles!!
William are there still 14 people coming?
Re BBQ, Mom's suggestion is that she will bring enough rolls for everyone and will buy enough steak / burgers ( like we had at Stoney's Picnic Run) to fill them. If the weather is "crap" she will freeze the steak / burgers (for us at a later date) and bring a selection of cold meats instead. We can use our little gas Barbie, the one that we use at SPR.
If Rob (Christine) could do a Sticky Toffee Pudding and bring some cream that would solve the afters. Mom will bring the usual tea coffee milk etc. then it's just a case of salads, nibbles, crisps. Have I missed anything?

Who can pick up the Gazebo from Darnshiv?

[DarnShiv]

We live in Kirkcaldy but I will be at my office in Newhouse on Thursday if that fits with anyone.

[MINIme:)]

just in case any food is counted out.......I don't like burgers but I do love nearly everything else edible. Especially steak ;)

let me know what you'd like me to bring ;)

Sounds like a great plan. There is 13 going. Re picking up the gazebo I won't have time this week due to starting in a new branch.

[stoney]

No prob I will bring pud ;) don't think I will have time to get the gazebo as stowed out with work the now

[ELFMAN]

I've run off some NMS Flyers to hand out, but they're not very tasty. I'm a rubbish cook, but I could buy some munchies/soft drinks if required - not a cop-out, just saving you from food poisoning!

Just reminded t'other night of the dangers of Portable BBQ's and Carbon Monoxide emissions after they're out - so remember not to stick the used ones in your car or you might not make it home... I seem to be getting very safety conscious, or am I turning into a worrying old f@rt?

[ELFMAN]

Elfman I suggested you could clean up your "rammakins" and do some souffles!!

"Rammakins"? I won't be doing ANYTHING involving small sheep. Not after the last court case :frown:

[weefossy]

Darnshiv, I could pick up the Gazebo from your work on Thursday morning. Could you PM me with details, address, time, etc if that suits you.
William, who has dropped out from the 14 on your original list? Did we not have a reserve? Or have 2 dropped out and the reserve is in? I'm confusing myself here....doh!
Joanna, like Elfman, I'm far too safety concious to run a BBQ under a Gazebo. We would all be fumigated...lol

Malcolm there only ever was 13. I may have said 14 in a moment of madness but only 13.There is a reserve list but this is only if a car pulls out

[DarnShiv]

PM sent, I think:confused:

[ELFMAN]

Joanna, like Elfman, I'm far too safety concious to run a BBQ under a Gazebo. We would all be fumigated...lol

:off topic:We should start an "Old F@rts Group" Malcolm! :smilewinkgrin:

[weefossy]

With Mr Hendrix as "Patron Saint" :thumbs up:

[weefossy]

Should have mentioned in my last post that I have organised with Daryl to pick up the Gazebo on Friday. Thanks again Daryl.

[ELFMAN]

Thanks again Daryl.

Ditto :clap: :thumbs up:

[MINIme:)]

:off topic:We should start an "Old F@rts Group" Malcolm! :smilewinkgrin:

Can I join?
Good thinking about the BBQ - I love a bit of safety/sensibleness. I was picturing a wee disposable one on the ground - forgot there were loads of us...

Thanks very much daryl :clap:, we are going to really appreciate a gazebo I'm sure. I can't see this rain letting up

Malcolm you're right there was a spare visitor (passenger) pass at one point - 'Other Mum's. Is she coming again?

Elf and Stoney - PM me in nxt couple days about meeting up en route - would appreciate doing that if it's ok with you. :thumbs up:

[ELFMAN]

:off topic:Re. Old F@rts Group


Can I join?
You are neither old, nor - as far as I know - the other thing... yet :oops: :smilewinkgrin:

ON TOPIC! Re. Meeting - Certainly fine with that, but I'm not that well-versed in places to meet on M8 - so I'll go along with what you and Stoney decide :thumbs up:
Then we can work out times etc. Will PM or TEXT.

[weefossy]

Mom has now informed me of what we are bringing. Steak, burgers, sausages, bacon, rolls to put them all in, and some of her home made dips, potatoe salad, and a possible pud. I think mom is thinking, maybe some bacon, sausage rolls, Pino Gregio for breakfast or a cup of tea while we set up, and the rest for lunch. We will also bring the BBQ. Plates, bowls, napkins and cutlery, all of which can be disposed of at the end of the day, no point in making washing up. Joanna if you could bring a mixed salad, as that would be to complicated for the boys. If someone could do some coleslaw and bring ketchup, mustard and brown sauce. Elfman, could you do coke etc, even you can't spoil that!! Drinks I mean, not the other sort. Someone else could do nibbles crisps etc. How about cheese and biscuits with grapes of course. Rob is bringing a glorious sticky toffee Pudding, how about another pudding? a cheese cake anyone? Biscuits or cakes for afternoon tea? And anything else people may have a fancy for. If you could also bring your own cups and seats as mom is not sure she has enough for everyone. Does anyone have a folding table as I only have a little one....story of my life...lol.
Mom will also bring tea and coffee etc.


Have I missed anything and does it make sense? Oh yes does anyone have a candelabra?
If you could post up what your bringing, so that we spread it out and don't end up with 6 ketchups!!

[bodyshop23]

HI

Can bring folding table and some chairs,will also bring coleslaw,sauces and will also get crisps and nibbles.

:blink: crikey! hungry is not going to figure anywhere in the next fortnight. The tales I heard of Mom and Dad were ALL TRUE!


Joanna if you could bring a mixed salad, as that would be to complicated for the boys.
No problem. Although if it's too complicated for the boys then I think you may be expecting better than my usual attempts :p



Elfman, could you do coke etc, even you can't spoil that!! Drinks I mean, not the other sort.
uh oh! ;)



Have I missed anything?
Er, no, I'm pretty sure you've thought of EVERYTHING!!! Except William - bring the tickets!

I have a directors chair- it's not ideal for a muddy field but I'll bring it anyway! Can bring a cup or two too.
Hope it's dry on saturday to wash and vacuum my car...

Tickets arrived today with some information. BBQs are are allowed them as long as the arent left unattended and gazebos are also allowed as long as they securely fixed to the ground.

I will bring a sticky toffee and another pud as well and few other bits ;)

I'll bring a case of Coke (not the Peruvian Marching Powder Malcolm...), and I'm speaking nicely to Dad to see if he'll make some Crumpets (not that sort Malcolm...).
If anybody can think of anything else, let me know.

[weefossy]

Crumpets with loads of butter........mmmmmmmmmm

[ELFMAN]

If he makes 'em, will I bring butter, or will that be available? Don't want to duplicate supplies!

[stoney]

jo you have PM

Elfman will text you later :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

[weefossy]

Mom will have butter Euan.

[MINIme:)]

will try and remember to pick up a 2L bottle of sparkling water - all this cake will require some non sugary quenching.

[MINI William]

Guys and gals please make sure that you are at Hermiston Gate for 745 or earlier. We will be leaving at 8 sharp with or without you. Cars must go in with there club and no stragglers will be aloud in. SHOW RULES. This is after having a good read of the rules

[stoney]

Not a prob will do ;)

[D3 JDA]

Anything that we can bring along I don't know what's left as everyone seems to have it pretty much covered now just checked the site today

[ELFMAN]

3 Word Saturday: "Dad's Crumpet frenzy" Broken mug, spilt mixture, swearing - it's all kicking off in the ELF House!

Car hoovered at last, hair cut (that took all of 10mins and half of that was a chat with the barber aboout intercoolers), shower grouted (not for the car show). Looking forward to the show - if we can get the crumpet fragments and blood off the ceiling...

Early night tonight folks!

[ELFMAN]

Mom will have butter Euan.

Oh yes....... :drool: :excited: :blink: :explode: :blush:

[weefossy]

Similar mayhem in oor house Euan, I'm sure I chammied the car with a piece of sirlion..... :rolleyes:
David, great to hear you are still coming. the only thing I can think of is a selection of cheese and biscuits and perhaps some more soft drinks. If the BBQ breaks down, you can buy the burgers from the van......lol

[MINI William]

See you all in the morning bright and early. Any problems let me know

[T5LLC]

I will see you all there:) my Coupe is on a club sand so come see her... Any Coupes with you guys?

[MINIme:)]

no coupes with us Leanne. we will come and see you I'm sure ;) - come and see us too - we will have so much food!

Mayhem here too. I managed to hoover and wash my car - first hand wash i've done since 1997. Attempted to check the oil and discovered my wheel nuts weren't very tight. I have finally put some dinner in the oven and just remembered I have a ton of salad to create! Oh I have also picked up 2 x 2litre bottles of sparkling water.

Do we think the ground will be muddy?

[DarnShiv]

Wish I was going now, sounds like a real feast will be served up. I hope the Gazebo comes in useful and I look forward to seeing the pictures. ;)

[MINIme:)]

my 'catering for many' skills are not functioning - we may end up with loads or not enough salad. I have no idea!

[ELFMAN]

Any problems let me know

Well here's a couple... I don't have enough money to retire early and Kylie still won't answer my calls :frown:

See Y'all tomorrow! :thumbs up:

totally agree, the company, banter and food were awesome! Had a great day - thanks all and especially to William for organising it all and Mom and Dad for thinking of everything and providing so much food and other stuff. Other mum, your cakes are ace :thumbs up: Really just everyone - the people made the day :yes nod:

[stoney]

Well good day had had to stop at jet wash on way home as there was big bits of mud all over my GP

But good day had all round brill company and food as per normal thanks to every one for making it another fantastic NMS day out ;) you all know who you are ;)

[ELFMAN]

Great day out, semi-decent weather and top-notch company and grub made the day... Oh and there were some nice cars there too.

Thanks to William for the Special Organisation, Mum and Dad for a glorious BBQ (tho' £5.50 for a steak roll was a BIT cheeky) and not forgetting Mrs Cuddles for her fab cake selection. Many thanks to Daryl for loan of the Gazebo - it saved the day when the rain arrived! I just realised I didn't get any of Stoney's/Christine's famous Sticky Toffee Pudding - mainly because I was so full by then I would've been sick. Dad will be well chuffed that his crumpets literally went down well, I'll tell him when he comes out of post-baking therapy.

Nice to meet the New Faces (we were ALL new faces once...) and to remind myself that it's the people as much (if not more) than the cars that float the ELF Boat.

Only problem I have now is that due to lack of sun cream and my vanity in not wearing my silly hat, I now have a head whose temperature is roughly equivalent to the surface of the sun and capable of melting at least one Polar ice cap. I'm in for an uncomfortable night... Still, it was worth it, or it will be once I stop screaming.

See Y'all soon, Y'all take it easy y'hear? :bigwave:

[MINIme:)]

would have followed you guys back along but was too far behind with the way they filtered people out of the ground from different directions. And then failed totally to find the M8! Half way into Edin city centre before I found my way out, der!

What a great day, we really enjoyed ourselves. Big thanks to William for organising and to everyone for all the food they brought. Special thanks to Daryl for lending us the Gazebo (Came in really handy during the showers) and to Elfman Snr. for the bestest crumpets ever......mmmmmmmmm. Sitting eating "other" Mom's sponge cakes as I type.
Think I'm getting too old for the loud music and that comes from someone who's seen Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in concert.
Will post up some pictures when I get organised.

Euan, think we were all "happy munchkins" the amount of food we ate today......wonderful.

[ELFMAN]

What a great day, we really enjoyed ourselves. Big thanks to William for organising and to everyone for all the food they brought. Special thanks to Daryl for lending us the Gazebo (Came in really handy during the showers) and to Elfman Snr. for the bestest crumpets ever......mmmmmmmmm. Sitting eating "other" Mom's sponge cakes as I type.

Too right Malcolm, we were spoiled rotten! Forgot to say ta to Joanna for the SALAD, which went well with the fab Burgers.

BTW, My Dad thoroughly enjoyed his "Other Mum" Scone! :thumbs up:

Think I'm getting too old for the loud music and that comes from someone who's seen Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in concert.
Will post up some pictures when I get organised.

:off topic:So you're going to post pictures of your Sabbath and Purple gigs?
Did they have cameras then, or did you do some paintings? :shut up: :smilewinkgrin:

I should talk, I grew up listening to those guys - which probably explains quite a lot... :yes nod:

Oor Nellie took most of the pictures today, so here's a few.

Good photos Stoney, but jeez, could you not have used a camera angle that made me look more than 4 feckin' feet tall...? :smilewinkgrin:
I know I'm a short @rse, but I look like a happy Munchkin. Standing in a hole. :frown:


RALMAO :lol:

Was good to catch up with a few of you at SCS seen its been 2 years since I was on the highland run with everyone! The Mini's all looked fab and the 1M was lovely too :) Sorry my little Coupe was put miles away so you probably didnt get chance to see it... it went down a treat with those who did find it, mostly because not many know what it is or have seen one on the roads! :D

and Joanna im so sorry I didnt realise it was you and nearly walked right past... I really should wear my glasses more as I did the same to someone else but did actually walk right past them.. oops lol

Hopefully see everyone again soon :)

[stoney]

Yep good to see u as well need to get your car on Nms stand next time ;) we did take a walk over but u where not there :( never mind coupe is looking good tho ;)

[MINIme:)]

no problem Leanne! ;) there was a good chance you wouldn't recognise me but I was determined to stop you and say hello! Macy is lovely, had a good look at her! I love the red and PW together and must get a longer test drive in one, loved it the short one I had in a Coupe S.

Wait no one said anything about Tartan Mini –Skirts being there….:ragin::smilewinkgrin:

I hope Dad took another shot, nice one all the same Rob. :thumbs up:


Looked a good day as always with the Mini crowd. Leanne how could you, fraternising with some other group, you know your car would just have finished the NMS group off....:hand:

See what you missed Stewart? :smilewinkgrin:

We all know Malcolm loves his extra "headlights", but surely this is overkill even for him ;);););)
If ever a photo went from the Sublime to the Ridiculous in the length of a MINI - this is it! BTW, stop boasting Stoney :hand:

Yes and I'm glad you did :) love meeting nms people! The red&pw has went down a treat, I love it more and more each time I see pictures of Macy :D yeah Joanna you should try get 24 hour test drive, some places do those. I was lucky enough to have Cooper S Coupe for 3 days when my Cooper S was in repairs, instant love with the coupe but always knew it would have to be a JCW for me:)

I know I know :( silly me never noticed nms had a stand or I would have been on it in a shot! Was tempted to keep following all the way to the stand squeeze in lol

Not bringing the level down too much and as I know Rob can take a joke..........

Euan all I can see is ( .)( .) at both ends! :smilewinkgrin:


and why where you not there !!! :):p

I went to something similar a few years back with friends and I’d have been there more for the NMS chat over the cars. I’m sure there were some tasty bits of automotive porn but I prefer classic cars over modified everyday street cars. I’m the one that looks at the lowered new Scirocco with 20 inch alloys and sub woofers coming from all angles and Chipped and body kit and to be brutally honest it does nothing for me. Give me a nice 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII any day….I’ll get ma Coat! :blush: loved the thing at Knockhill a few years back.

That's quite enough young man! I think we should nip this in the bud immediately!

Have to agree with you on the Classic Vs "Max Power" stuff Stewart. There were a few nice cars there yesterday though, and the power of some of the 'Drift' cars was quite something, but a few "Halfords Horrors" too! I was at the Knockhill Classic Speedfair in '06 when Jackie Stewart, one of my heroes, took his Tyrrell GP car for a few laps - pure magic. I even got his autograph. He apparently got it in the neck from his wife for going too fast!!! Made my day though (and probably his too).

[MINIme:)]

The only cars I really noticed were anything mini and a few lovely old cars! (oh and I noticed that gold car inside!) The company totally made the day, really enjoyed it :)

I struggled to see the people let alone the cars unless close up ;) lol

[MINIme:)]

Realised on my way home yest that despite being surrounded by people who know about cars all day I had totally forgotten to get the wheel tightness cross checked by someone else :sad: I'd only put a little weight on it and not sure if it's enough! DAMN IT.


ps I miss the old smily for :sad. where did it go?!

ps I miss the old smily for :sad. where did it go?!What did it look like :idunno:

it was blue and had a wee teardrop.

[stoney]

Don't think the most of the people on the Nms stand where there for moded cars but the people that go make
The day what it is ;)

Stoney couldnt agree more. I never organised it for the modded cars aspect. I organised it as I thought it would be a great day out and we haven't had an NMS stand at a show in years do it was something a bit different to a run. But most importantly about having fun and a laugh and that's what we all made it yesterday

[MINIme:)]

I can't because that image isn't on the list any more under :sad : lol never mind!

Quite right William. It was great just to have a get-together, a blether, a laugh and a damn good feed to top it off! Showing the cars and seeing the other motors on show was interesting, but, for me, not the main event - that was simply enjoying the company.

BTW my glowing bonce is now slightly less visible... from space, and is down to a temperature of only 360 degrees. I'd advise everybody to get shares in Savlon, as I'm using it in industrial quantities and I won't be the only numpty who got caught out by the sun!

:sad: this one Jo ??

[MINIme:)]

not unless what you're seeing is different to what I'm seeing! The new one doesn't have a tear. Never mind!

[ELFMAN]

:off topic: There's a 'sad' one and a 'V sad' one, but they're identical as far as I can see, and neither exhibit the requisite lachrymosity :idea:
