Right everyone with the show this coming Sunday I have received all tickets and stand passes!!

We will be meeting at the loanhead drive road just next to Eastern BMW, see the map below, I have marked the area with a star.




This will be a better meeting point then McDonalds hopefully making it easier to get on to the main round about to then access the show, meeting time will be 7.15am, leaving for latest 7.30am, we have to be in the show ground no later than 8.30am, last year it took 50 minutes to go the short journey due to Ingliston due to the volume of traffic, with the show being 2 days this year it might be less traffic but its not a chance I want to take.

If anyone has any questions of needs any help drop me a PM :)

Look forward to seeing you also Gary, yes it is a massive shame, the lack of support from regular members & committee members has been massively disappointing.

Please see my latest post for meeting point details.

Cheers

I'm afraid I'm going to have to miss this now due to me going to pick up the car from what is supposed to be secure storage and finding 2 windows smashed on the car if it's not too late someone else can have my space can someone let Kevin know if he doesn't see this
I live with fear everyday but sometimes she let's me go to car shows

Aw man I'm so sorry to hear this mate, I'll try and get someone to take your tickets and if I get money I'll forward it on to you, alternatively feel free to come get your 2x adults band and 1x kid band off me tomorrow morning.

So is every other car at the unit a 2017 Lamborghini ? There is no way that your car looks like its scrap. What on earth makes these people think they have the right to damage people's property ? I hope you are pursuing the owner of the unit for some kind of compensation or at least finding out who did the damage and having a "quiet word". 

I'm really glad you got it sorted though.

the unit it was stored in was full of caravans and camper vans it was at the yard where I used to do my banger racing from so other people presumed thats what my car was for needless to say it wont be going back there so im on the look out for somewhere else for storage as the car is currently lying in my street

Kev what is it you think the region could have done. If it is about people attending the show then if someone doesn't want to go then thats their prerogative.

It was advertised in the mag and on here. There was an article in the mag about it and there were about 12 cars on the stand, along with the flags........Not much more is done for any other show other than having the gazebo, which was not required as the weather was good.

Only 4 went to silverstone along with the flags 

This a hobby mate not a place where you must go to like work

The club is something that I really enjoy, its a good mix of guys and some nice cars aswell, but there are so many shows and meets that it can get awkward with other commitments, Im missing a few this few weeks as have other arrangements and these have to be attended to. its unfortunate that ignition fell into this weekend as I really do want to go. Ive always found the shows/meets good and people have gone when they can,  This month being really busy they have cancelled the monthly meet due to lack of numbers. it happens.
 
I was lucky in that I worked shifts until recently, now doing 9-5 5 days a week really puts tightners on the weekends - so ive not been able to attend as many shows meets as I would have liked. I made the effort to go to the Scottish car show as never had the chance before and Silverstone and Gaydon this year were not possible. Its very much a who turns up on the day type of thing.
 
I love cars, love BMWs and anything two seats and topless really floats my boat, have had some really great meets over the years but I cant commit to every one much as id love too.
