Crianlarich is not the largest of Scottish villages, but it has a good wee pub (The Rod & Reel) where we could meet up ?

Either or, im not bothered! winkeye
BTW I have a bit of a dilema, ive just bought a Pajero to run over the winter and the 335 runs out of tax in about 3 weeks. I dont know if its worth taxing it for another month. :?
I could always get it refunded i suppose.
Dave, saw you twice yesterday. I was in my missus Focus (she was driving) I said "oh, theres Dave, she turned to look and went through a red light! :mad: Bloody women drivers!

Yeah, I'm in the same position, I was gonna put the Cabby away for the winter and just run the Astra, but I reckon I'll get another month before the weather gets too bad, then claim the refund.

Yeah, I can do that. Though I'll have to put myself down as a maybe, depends on the arrangements in the end.
'89 325i - was an SE but not anymore, was bronze-beige metallic (yeuch!) but now techno-violet (thankfully)
'89 Toyota Corolla GTi-16 - track, hillclimb & sprint car (yeeha!)
'08 Buell XB12Ss - American engineering at it's 'best'... good fun though

I was up at Fort William/Loch Ness/Inverness a couple of weeks ago (gotta love them roads :D ).

Glencoe will be a nice route, wish I was still at home :cry:

Geneva is pretty nice so far though and I've seen loads of old 325ix's. Checked the ads in the local paper though and they're still a bit too expensive for having one when it's really not neccesary...

Anyway, hope y'all have a good meet :cool:

Was that in Aberdeen or out n about?
Hope you got through the lights unscathed,and with nothing more than your nerves a little rattled.

Just a thought
Instead of taking the "fake"Shogun, you could maybe blag a white Scooby.
OR just bang on some road tax and forget about that japcrap altogether.

hey theres a serious danger im going to be turning up in a bmw this time. its an e30 too. :mad:

ritchie if you are not taxing the 335 you can cadge a lift in mine. just mind your ear plugs........for the noise and possibly to ignore my banter too :cry:

only two seats though so if the missus was planning on going then you would need to take the 4x4 after all.

Thanks for the offer Nick but i checked my tax again and it doesnt run out until the 31st so its coming!
It will be a fine last run for the year. Meeting at Perth sounds fine Gary. :D
We saw you in the town Dave, first beside the station in the morning and then at night leaving Tullos.
I also saw you on Friday on the Inverurie road when i was taking my `fake` Shogun home from Inverness.
Its funny how you can spot an E30 miles off!

Have just seen this post for the first time in ages and I'm defo 100% up for this. My only question is are the girls, i.e wife's etc invited ? Also I have a 1 y.o daughter who would be well up for gawking at a load of E30's :D What I'm trying to say in all seriousness is that I would like to take my family along and wondered if that was cool ? Also is an overnight stay planned or somthing like that ?

Cheers

more to the point is your wife and daughter actually wanting to come to a gathering of old car anoraks to listen to endless men talk? if so then good on them and bring them along. i wouldnt even bother mentioning it to my wife as she has no interest. i might bring my 4 year old boy but my 16 month girl is probably best staying with mummy :D

You'd all be very welcome.

There wasn't an overnight planned as such

Sure you could easily find somewhere cheap n cheerfull in or around Perth or Perthshire.
Would definately cut down on the journey time to the meet
