Again i still haven't been to any meets yet as everytime they are planned i'm stuck out offshore, which is a shame, haven't even driven my car out of Aberdeen, I have posted a topic about Max Power event @ Crail on the 4th May if anyone was interested, i've sometimes seen the Irish e30's there so i'm definetely going to be there, at least i will be home then.

Looking to meet up with Gray, Shona and Baddave at the Green Wellie for about lunchtime. I'll be passing Stirling Services if you fancy joining from there?

Grant, if know one is passing Dumbarton, i might meet you guy's at Stirling to

.. might be a longer route for me (i'll do a route planner) but i'd prefer to "convoy" .. safty in number's an all that

That'd be

Grant
Will be picking up JBH on the way

give us a call when you leave Kincardine

Ian it would be much shorter for you to cut over at Thornhill then head to Callender and meet us there
just a thought to save you dragging all the way into Stirling

Hi folks

After a bit of debate, and to tie in with meeting up with the Zone Roam, we will be arriving at Glencoe Ski-lift at about 2pm.

My plans are :

12:00: Leave Stirling Services (meet up with anybody who's joining us from the Central area).

1pm : Arrive at The Green Wellie (meet Gray, Shona, and Dave / spot of lunch).

2pm : Arrive at Glencoe Ski-lift (Meet up with Neil + the Zone Roamers).

There are a few of us camping near Fort William on the Saturday night and some "activities" planned (karting / 10 pin bowling / pub) , anyone else interested in joining in?

For anyone who wasn't at the last Scottish Zone meet and run to Fort William in October 2007, here's a taster of how it went:

Hope to see you there....

Guy's i was going to meet some of you at Stirling Service's but it would add about 60 min's to my journey, would it be OK to try meet at Crainlarich? if this is OK what time do you think you'll be passing through there?

Also slightly of topic

but doe's any one have any of these part's for sale who is going to this and could bring them along?
2 head rest's for standard checkered pattern seat's. (or 2 plain pale blue one's?)
reverse light switch for a 320 manual.
coolant level sensor for a 320 expansion bottle.
after market steering wheel & boss.

Fri Apr 18, 2008 9:57 pm

Sorry guy's not going to make this

Got the car back and it's running like a bag of sh*t

it's going back in on Tuesday.Did toy with the idea of taxing the the cab in the morning but just seen stupid being middle of the month.

Hope you's have a great day and take lots of pics and maybe a wee video (Grant).

Think i will spend the day trailing the scrappies for odds and sods since i have the day off.I'll get that obc indicator stock for you Gray if i come across one.

Fri Apr 18, 2008 11:25 pm

See you tomorrow Gray, looking forward to seeing the "new look" sport in all it's shiny new blue look!

Jake - sorry you're not gonna make it, you'll be missed.

However, the camera WILL be there and hopefully some video footage will be posted here soon.

gcs325i - are you gonna make it?

Anyone else coming to join us??

Sat Apr 19, 2008 12:57 am

na mate snapped the bleeder on the front caliper, drilled it out only to discover i don't have a tap/dye the right size to clear the threads, so no chance fitting that the night. will try pick one up in the morning. if i get it done i'll be in a silver 325i but doesn't look likely.

Sat Apr 19, 2008 8:22 am

guy's do you know what time you'll be passing through Crainlarich?
i'm hope'n to be ready to leave from here about 11am? .. all going well?

Sat Apr 19, 2008 1:16 pm
