Quite possibly! Whens the next meet? I'll be in Edinburgh from the 1st of next month. Edit: Maybe I should just read the thread title...

@Jim Bell and I are running up for the next one.  With any luck it'll be local for me soon too.

Ah, if its the 29th I might be able to join.

Is this going to happen 29th Jan as I have to come upto Scotland that week and would try and coordinate my visit so I can attend?

Yup, that's what is planned. 

 

Be good to see you!

[Six-cylinder]

Where is it held?

 

[320touring]

 

7ish is usually when folks arrive/dine

[chaseracer]

Can't make this one - busy negotiating carnets and exit visas for the SVM's trip home after January 31st... ?

[stereotype]

It's a possibly maybe for me if work don't change my shifts a day before again.@Tickman might get a lift and a beer out of it since it's his car and he paid the insurance

Any chance the E32 could be the chariot of choice...? I had newfound interest in these over the past week.

[Twisterboy]

Should still be up for this, as over that way sort of earlier

It would have been an excellent choice, it is such a comfy old bus and I have taken it there before. It holds a personal record for me, for remaining comfortable  to drive it continuously for 7 1/4 hours, I didn't even have to refuel Milton Keynes to Edinburgh on a Friday night.

This trip is mapped out a bit different as I am flying to Inverness and collecting a newish modern for myself. I will then drive my new car down to the Rowan Tree for dinner and stay in a hotel with the Premier Inn at Bathgate being favourite at the moment. Thursday I will drive home.

Ahead of this Wednesdays meet I have the following motoring related tat to give away free and gratis to anybody who wants it. Just let me know in advance if you want it and I'll bring it along.

Haynes manual for a Metro, Haynes manual for a Volvo V70/S80 (98-07) and a Vax wet vac. The wet vac was a shampooing machine but the delivery pump is goosed and all the tools barring the upholstery cleaning head have gone the journey long ago. When used with a pump up garden sprayer (which will also come free gratis) full of carpet shampoo it's still an effective weapon for cleaning car interiors. 

First come first served, don't all rush at once.......... ???

[320touring]

I'll have the wet vac please:)

[blackboilersuit]

It's all yours Mr Touring, see you on Wednesday :-)

[Flat4]

Could we get the Haynes manual for the V70 please? Altho at this point it's looking very doubtful that we'll make this one now as I may not be able to get the evening off and Al is currently lying on a hospital bed waiting to see a doctor to tell us if he's getting admitted it not....

That's not good news. Hope it's nothing serious.

Tell Big Al we're asking for him!

[dome]

I may just head straight from work tomorrow-likely be there around half 5 if anyone else is around?

[Six-cylinder]

I am driving down from Inverness so I could be early, on the other hand I could be late.

[Jim Bell]

I should be up there 1700-1800. Digs is just round the corner. 

[loserone]

I had planned to leave work at 2, but have been tied up this afternoon so might not be able to leave til later

[320touring]

I will likely be there for 6.

 

Best wishes to Big Al

He self-discharged from hospital last night ? Why do you blokes never do as you're told??? Anyway, his bloods showed he wasn't in any immediate danger so GP is treating him til the dermatologist can see him. We might still make it but will need to play it by ear for now.

You certainly can as long as the first thing you do with it is beat Al around the head for being a nugget and self discharging from Hospital!

Seriously though pass on my best wishes to the big chap for a speedy recovery. If you can't make it on Wednesday I can post the manual if you need it before the next meet up.

[Flat4]

I'm hoping we won't need to use it for any tinkering as quickly as that, but thank you

[big_al_granvia]

Ffs i have been bullied by flat4, had a bollocking from the cute nurse at my gp now somecunt is saying bash my head with a book.. Cheers, doing okay. Thanks for the best wishes

[Jim Bell]

I'm officially en route. See yous all tonight. 

 

 

[loserone]

Smart idea bringing a passenger to take pictures for you.  Good luck breaking @Mr FluffyballsFluffyballs' MPG record.

I'm setting off in 5, but stopping by at work first for a "days work"

[Jim Bell]

I'm sneaking in a sly half days graft on the way.
