no probs for me to meet at the Tesco Car Park Forth Road Bridge.:D

although I might need some time to wash the bug splat from my car.:D

I'll just fit with what the other Central Reg boys are doing.;):cool:

[Craig]

yeah, that's fine for me - I'll meet up with Fiona and a few others at Stirling (or ma hoose) and travel thro to Forth Bridge for 08:30hrs.

what are the arrangements for cleaning of the cars once we are there ? ? do you know if will we be outside or inside ? ?

can't wait :D:D

[Neil and Lorna]

We will met up at Tesco,s as well. It means we have to double back a wee bit but probably better for us all to go in as a group.

Neil and Lorna.:D:D

hey guys i will be with u sweeney at strathy would we not be a bit better 2 get there a wee bit sooner give us time 2 get all the bugss off arter the drive there stoney

[ajamesj]

If we get there for 9 that gives us a whole hour to clean cars before the show opens , we will be outside and last year there was a tap outside so if the cars are really bad u can do a full wash if u bring ur cleaning gear I was lucky last year gave my car a full clean on Saturday night then just got the quick detailer out at the show.

Andy - contact MMM for the banner - it was made up by Apex a few years ago and has been used at the Scottish Mini Weekend and Arbroath. Think we should defo get it for this event.. I'll see what I can do for a tent for accomodation (to keep out of the rain :p)

I would say that would do the job very nicely - could you bring it along...? :D:D

[Neil and Lorna]

I was going to say " any peeps got a gazebo thingy".

Should we also all have a wee supply of fliers each.:cool:
Just in case.:D:)

Neil.:):)

[gill]

Fine to meet you en-route. I think we'll be best to meet at Kinross Services, although we could hook up with you at Perth area - suggest a rough time for there? 7.30am?

Looking forward to this .... :D:cool::D

7.30Am is fine

[ajamesj]

Anyone going to Arbroath meet can u see if u can get alone of banner for the Sunday I stay in Arbroath but workin from 8.30 to 5 on 15th July its pants. But I cannot wait for Sunday

Andy

[Scottie]

I'm going to Arbroath wll ask for the banner.:D:cool:

[ajamesj]

Passes just dropped through my door today got 10 in total , we need to be sited for 9am so I was thinking we may be best to meet earlier than planned how does 8am at tesco at forth road bridge sound for everyone from all directions I can hand out passes out there since they have to be displayed on cars when entering show.Once we are on site we cannot leave until show finishes at 5pm and no movement of cars is allowed after 9am.

My plan from North
first meet Dundee Kingsway retail park 6.45am

then Kinross services 7.30am

then tesco at forth road bridge 8.00am

Then convoy to site

[Sweeney]

im fine with that, 9-5 will be a bit of a killer though :P
better be plenty to do!

for those of us meeting at strathclyde park i think a 7am depart is ample enough time to get to the tescos?

[stoney]

im fine with that 2

[Marco77]

is tescos near the venue?

[Scottie]

fine by me

[Neil and Lorna]

About 5 miles or so.

N.:D

If you've got 10 passes whos no going cause there's 11 of us listed.
Or am I missing something.


Neil.

[Sweeney]

some people just don't take the hint, ;).



nah only kidding :p, at a guess i'd say Smitty

[Scottie]

Couple of wee questions.

The Pass is this for the car??? As there will be two of us in the car. So do we pay money at the gate to get in or what.

Never been before so I don't know how things work.

[Craig]

8 am at Tesco's is fine for me. :D:D

Fiona, the pass will be for your car and passenger I would suspect. When I have entered shows with classics, that is how it has worked as YOU are making the show for them.. ;)

[ajamesj]

It costs £5 for driver and £10 for each passenger Smitty is not going the current list is as follows

1. Me & Lianne
2. Craig D
3. Alan B
4. Ryan S
5. Ewan S
6. Neil P
7. Fiona T
8. Mark C

really sorry guys :disapprove: but im gonna have to pull out of the show, really not feeling up to it at all. Dunno what it is but i am feeling really ill just now (hoping it's nothing to do with being badly sun burnt) and i can't see myself getting up never mind being able to last all day and get home ok.Don't like letting people down but it wouldn't be wise for me to try with the way im feeling, especially if it's going to be another hot sunny day.

Sorry :(

Part 2 of a fab weekend :cool:. The MINI'S on show today did us (NMS) proud (well done 'show' peeps) & you could tell by the number of folks walking round & taking pics that the MINI is one helluva car in standard'ish' form even when stacked up against all the customised cars on show today. Even the Scooby guys popped over for a natter & commented that the MINI is an ace car.

Oh & some of the scenery was gobsmackin :p:approve:;)

Good to meet Norman at long last & hope to be popping up Menzies way soon for a natter :D
