Scottish Meet!either Sun 3rd or sun 17th Aug?

[320Touring]

Who is up for another attemt to kill nickso's jag

Thinking something similar to the last run

I.E meeting at about 11am at a services then out for a backroad blast.

I may even fit a new starter motor

[shedrool83]

17th sounds good to me.

[gcs325i]

i'd be up for it on the 17th, gives me time for the mot on the 325i but the 320i is there just incase. be good to get to a meet and drive some different roads.

[BadDave]

I'm up for another go at jag bashing

Either date's good for me atm

Where'd you have in mind????

[scurran83]

3rd would suit me better, My bro is over in a merc 190 cosworth and hed prob like to tag aong aswell if he's let.

Dave- I dunno where to meet- any idea?

Well, so far it looks like a northern meet at the moment

I'll have a think about it and get back to you Neil

I'll see what roads i can find that "may be FUN"

[scurran83]

ill be in stirling the weekend of the 3rd

[nickso]

christ, ive not even looked at the brakes yet! or the fuel leak, sunroof, rear steer.......etc.

i think im free either date. obviously the 17th would mean more time to fix stuff

[Alyman]

I'm not sure about this after my recent tour of midlothian's backroads with Neil as my co-pilot - I'm not confident that my car is sturdy enough to hack the pace.. - when we got to the petrol station after a spirited run through the twisties I discovered that somewhere along the way we'd managed to dislodge my kidney grille

Luckily we were on 5 mins from the scrappies, and a replacement was secured!

I definitely can't do the 3rd (the bird's birthday is the 2nd) but the 17th should be okay, work permitting.

[militantmandy]

i'd definately be up for it, although i fear you guys may arrive at the destination quite a while before i do!

[Sanchez]

not sure I can make this one, Gra and Shona are away as well i think.

shut up and get some 51mm struts on then

sounding like the 17th may be the plan then...

Militantmandy-we dont leave anyone behind, and if Nickso comes you can spot his lipstick red jag from China...

[riklusby]

Ill try and make it as well if its the 17th, i get back from germany on the 3rd and get stuck in to the engine transplant, i dont fancy going in the 316 though as it needs a new engine and radiator, have to take a 10litre canister with water everywhere i go

Good man!

I'll prob be topping up coolant on the 325i... she drinks more k-seal than petrol...

Nothing to complain about there Ally

It's only the bloody grill

Just take it off this time and then pray that the spoiler doesn't get it on this trip

I would as well, but mines off the road as of tomorrow

Looks like i'll be taking the 3 instead

[gra325i]

we get back from holiday on the 16th so i will see if i can wangle more time off,
thats if i have the sport back from her "top secret" upgrade

can i suggest breamar for the meet..FANTASTIC roads both demanding and scenic, and excellent "backdrop" scenery for photo oportunities..

southerners..you can head for perth then follow signposts for blairgowrie (A93) and then just stay on straight through to breamar (ski centre would be perfect as loads o parking and a tearoom )

Northerners..lets face it guys, we all know those roads eh

[shedrool83]

Breamar sounds good to me.

[oldie323]

yeah sound fine to me,you want to head over in convoy gray?george you think stu wud be up 4 it?think dans interested too,even if its in the e dirty 6. .whats up with your five then dave?

[BadDave]

Looks like it's just Neil and possibly Ally coming from down south
Braemar is good for me as well, or could meet at Glenshee, then onto Braemar/ the Lecht and into Tomintoul??


Means i dinnae hae tae get up so early as weel

[georob]

Yeah, will ask him John, think he might be on holiday though, have a funny feeling he said he was going away somewhere with the missus after Gaydon.

Braemer perfect for me too, superb roads and scenery

[gra325i]

its not looking good for me getting the time off for this..my sous chef has tickets for the touring cars at Knockhill that day..i,ll keep at him though

[georob]

graham, would you miss the touring cars for a day at work? lol

[gra325i]

i would if my boss gave me double time

LOL! you northern softie!

Braemar sounds good- where will we go from there tho?

[gra325i]

round the back of the glen to MARR lodge and back, would be a fantastic wee run for you all
or, for a big run, you can head for balmoral..take the right turn over to lecht ski centre and beyond to tomantoul or alford
or take the left turn past balmoral castle and down south deeside road to banchory

there honestly are a multitude of demanding roads and photo opportunitys, im sure Dave will keep you right as i dont think i will be able to come

[ricey46]

I'm not able to make this one guys, got a really bad E46 316i saloon to detail over that weekend!!

I'll tag along for the next one!!

[oldie323]

[oldie323]
