SW:UK Scottish Meet

[Minuki]

Edit: 8/4/12

Been talking to Lee at ScottishVag, and he says it's cool if we have a meet at the ScottishVag show on the 15th July at Hamilton, just outside Glasgow. The Show and Shine is Vag only, so feel free to enter! Gates open at 10.

I'll be traveling down from Perth with a few mates and I understand that there are a couple from up north who are also keen for going down. So, here's my suggestion -

Meet at Broxden Sevices(Just before the A9) at about say, 9-half 9? It takes about an hour and thirty to get there from Perth. At the services we can sort out food, stickers, fuel etc and then we can convoy down. Probably meet up with a few of the lads from Glasgow on the way. Sound ok? Thoughts/opinions are greatly appreciated!

Here's the ScottishVag flyers which will hopefully give you some more info!





Any questions, just ask!

Yeah, that's the problem I have. I'll talk to my mates, see if they can suggest something.

There seems to be quite a few cars up in Aberdeen. But I don't know how willing the boys from Glasgow are willing to travel. I stay in Perth, which is sort of in the middle (It's still 3 hours to the 'Deen and an hour to Glasgow) I'm willing to travel either way if there is enough interest

Im from Aberdeen too (ish...) and would be travelling down. Convoy it. Glasgow works with me. Glasgow is good for people travelling from Englandshire too so suits most people. Any further north and people wont go, been there done that with a couple Mini shows I helped organise.

Also Scot.....3hrs to Perth? How slow do you drive!? Made Wishaw to central Aberdeen in 1hr 40 last year in a Lupo GTI haha!


I would be keen to travel down for the day/potential night before the show to help lay out/organise stuff. Crash at yours aye Scott?


Jut an idea but how about transport museum? Smooth roads/carpark etc and an ace backdrop to the cars along with a cool museum if weather fucks up.

I think it was 3ish hours to Fintry? But I got really, really lost so that was probably why

Aye, you could stay at mine if you like man. Do you think you could tell the VW guys about this? I know you have quite a lot of contacts

Perhaps I could make a FB event?

Transport museum is a very good shout, I didn't even think of that. Anyone from Glasgow know what state the roads are in? Speedbumps etc?

If they're OK, I'll give them an email and see what they say

sure convoy counds good ive got a couple of mates able to go aswell, i was in glasgow in october and the center's road conditions are shite, constant rubbing haha.

I can imagine. The roads are awful.

Like i said on the other thread, Glasgow is fine for me! and also a convoy from aberdeen would be pretty sweet to be honest! haha

I can do! I would see if we can get a venue for it first then start organising around that regards FB events etc

ScottishMini attended something at the transport museum last year and had to have oil drip trays under all the cars due to new slabs. Which may actually be a problem with some cars

Just need to get my skates on and get the car rebuilt first!

[blaster92]

Any idea of timescale? I recognise mini360 and Daniel93 from eastside too haha, but my name is mykulz1 on there

Good stuff I'm sure you'll be able to sort something out with the lads up there.

True that. I'll give them a ring, see how many cars they can hold etc. Well Mini's are re-known for oil leaks!

Enquiring today man. College has been really hectic the passed couple of weeks.

How many cars are we expecting? About 20+?

Hey you scots should organise a weekend thing when it's a bit warmer, I would definitely be up for the drive. Others might be keen if it's a couple of days and no rush too. I was thinking the other day maybe a weekend/ drive/ cruise meet in the lake district would be awesome, apparently the 'best drives' around that area too and is sorta mid way for all.

Feel sorry for you fulla's up there with no meets ahah
