I've just arrived back in edinburgh, Green Flag Mechanic took a quick look n listen, reckons its nowt to worry about, sounds a lot scarier than it is - I'll know for sure tomorrow when its light and I can get under the car.... keep your fingers crossed, the ol' M40 might have life in it yet! :D

Great day out fellas and lady, all those E30's looked fantastic in convoy. My fav must have been the dark blue motorsport cabby from Stenhousemuir... winkeye had to leave early from Crainlarich to make nightshift...doh.. :cry:

Cheers mate - I heard that you've got one lyin about, if mine is goosed I may be in touch...

Thanks to everyone for their kind words as my car limped into the Little Chef car park (especially Neil and his overwhelming desire to get his hands oily!)

Extra big thanks to Alan and Gary for ferrying me about after I abandoned my car (and giving me a taste of what proper engines are all about), at least i still got to tag along for the rest of the meet!

Wish I had brought me camera along :cry:

We really enjoyed the day and was great to see so many cars, Hope your car is ok Alyman.

Was good turnout and all the E30's on the motoway at the beginning of the day was superb.

First time I have attended one of these but it was a good day out and great to meet everyone that was there.

Cant wait to see video of everyone leaving after feeding time :-)

3 cops went south towards Tarbet as we headed north to Crainlarich... thankfully! :D

I'll just echo what everyone else has been saying, great meet, particularly considering it was the first E30zone meet in Scotland! (well there was one other in-conjunction with RCC end of least year but that hardly counts)

Looking forward to the next one!

And maybe next time I'll remember my camera... :roll:

Me and the hyperactive kid enjoyed the run to Luss. I need a cage for my car, not a roll cage just a cage for the boy.
Thats the first run ive had in the car since owning it (had to fix various bits), reckon a new exhaust to get rid of the mettalic rubbing noise and it'll be running sweet. Definitely the best company to be in for a test run ;)

Cheers guys

Hey, yeah there is definately a need for this to be a regular thing if everyone os up for it. Thanks to the organisers(mikey and neil). Great idea. Cant wait for another one so i can get my car along.

Paddy - never got a chance to speak but will do next time.

Hehe, yeah was very dissapointed in you(there were no e30 M3's.lol. Nah, hopefully you make it to the next one and then if my IS is there you can have a go as i owe you one.

I did actually think Onno was you when he turned up but then i heard the noise and thought, nah gary's ain't that loud.
