Perthshire Meet/Run 22nd Nov

[shedrool83]

Any one bringing any goodies for sale? (no, not Bill Oddie!) I had a quick hunt in the garage, but nothing I can bring myself to part with

Anything in particular your looking for Grant?

I've got some excess audio stuff I could part with

I'm pretty much sorted for audio - not spending out on the touring, although it does need a pair of front speakers.

Grant i have a pair of oem front speakers from my touring i can bring ?

[shedrool83]

Thats the touring wash/polished/loaded and locked up in the garage ready for tomorrow.

Just managed to get it washed and back in the garage before the rain started again









Dont think it will be looking like this by the time i get to Stirling tho

[grantfk10]

That'd be good Jake, I'm not planning on a fancy install, but one of the fronts is dying badly.

[shedrool83]

No worries grant i'll stick them in the boot in the morning

thats a disgraceful remark i'm deeply saddened by that slur on my superb timekeeping.

i do have to load the IS up with assorted shite for sale before leaving though so i could be playing catch up.....certainly not loading her up in this weather.

[shedrool83]

Just picked the car up,after getting the new disks,calipers ans master cylinder fitted.
I've spotted a small fluid leak,so gonna go fix that now and bleed the system the old fashioned way while I'm at it.
Once that's done I'll get the new rubber on the rear and hopefully that'll be it ready to go.

Jake,can you bring that BBS with you please?

[gra325i]

Hope it was a good run lads, looking forward to the pics

[nickso]

well as the vicar said to the tart, it was a wet one but a good one.

i somehow missed my turning on the way home and ended up going through dunkeld/coupar angus instead....put the IS through a lake on the road after dunkeld and nearly lost it, was shitting myself for the next 30 miles as the battery light wouldnt go off.....guessing the alternator took a right drowning and was having a moan, seems ok now though.

if alasdair is reading, sorry about the touring, was a really nice car, hopefully its repairable.

[andye30nut]

yeah was a good day ctaching up with everyone and mental dave. got the cabby finally 6pm tonight. il post pics up soon.

needs ball joints
paint rubbed down and a bloody good buff
onboard comp not working will need to investigate and roof leakin at the doors even tho its got new seals ???????????

all in it very clean car well happy espically for the money....

colin its not a motorsport but hey ho lol.

[shedrool83]

Yip i had a great day.
As usual Dave route choice was spot on so great single lane roads with much twisty bits .
Touring held up well to the test although it did drink alot

Was a good turn out and a few new faces which was good.


Andy good to hear you have the cabby in you possesion.Now show us some pics

Borbets are stay here mate

Andy you do know that its a front bib apron it has and not a tech 1 front bumper?Looks tidy and a good buy at the price you got it at ,Good luck with it bud.

[baur320]

Andy, I've got a rear valance and bumper. The bumper is shot but the valance and bump strip are fine. Also got a chrome rear bumper. Centre and one corner are factory, other corner is a copy. Parts seem straight with no dints but some scuff marks in the chrome. Also got side skirts, but they're off a 2 door so i don't think they will fit yours.

I'm working at Motherwell a couple of times a month, so will be able to bring parts up if you want a look?

yeah i no but i think tech 1 rear apron tech 1 side skirts will look the best on it.

mick that would be ideal mate il pm you my number and we can sort something out cheers

[BadDave]

Big thanks to those who made the effort and turned up today.Even thought the weather wasn't exactly favourable.

I hope the majority of attendees enjoyed the "interesting"route choice's even though one or two of the roads would have been more fun in the dry and with a bit more available light.

It was also nice to put faces too one or two folks I hadn't met before as well.


For any of those interested,Myself (possibly Neil) and the meet organiser's will be attempting to organise a weekend jolly or 2 somewhere over Fort William/Applecross/Gairloch/Ullapool area's for your driving pleasure in addition to your local meet's
