best to get in a small convoy if possible to avoid losing my way

Are you heading over the Forth bridge, or out through Stirling way?

i didnt know you could go the bridge way tbh but the bridge is a nightmare atm due to roadworks at the weekend so thats best avoided if possible.
we used to go via the m8 and over the erskine bridge when we used to go to crainlarach but i dont know if thats any better than the m9 via stirling.
what do you think?

I'm in Kincardine. I reckon the M9 via Stirling is probably the best way - could do a mini-meet at the Services first and convoy from there?

Post Sun Oct 21, 2007 11:38 am

Hi I would go via Stirling leave at J10 for Callander then onto Crianlarich/Tyndrum.I think the road numbers are A84,A85 then A82.

ok then. anyone from edinburgh wanting to meet at the Newbridge services then on to the m9 and stirling services then on to the main meet from there?

Ok, that's good for me - I'll be at Stirling Services about that time. Then I'll make a mad dash for it in my little 4-pot, cos I'll never keep up if I leave at the same time as you, fuzzy!

Hi Fuzzy

Newbridge is good for me, but I may have relatives turning up so the trip is 50/50 at the moment

Looks like the Northern and West side have a few people meeting up to convoy towards Tyndrum, who's all meeting at Newbridge or Stirling?

Post Sat Oct 27, 2007 10:14 pm

... good luck fuzzy, hope you get it sorted out.

Post Sat Oct 27, 2007 10:24 pm

electrical problem traced to a broken wire on the injector but another lesser problem has arisen.
i jet washed the engine bay earlier in preperation for tomorrow and although i covered the dizzy cap unfortunately some water got into the spark plug holes in the top of the rocker cover and is sitting pooled around the spark plugs causing it to run sh1t. for those unaware of the cosworth the spark plug holes are about 200mm deep and very narrow meaning i cant get in to drain the water. i tried some kitchen roll wrapped around a long screwdriver but it didnt work
