Just wandered how many members of the club or forum are actually based in Scotland?

Also, anyone got an idea of how many 16v, 16vt, 20v and 20vt there actually are north of the border?

Im one, bought Graham L's old car last year and still lovin' it !

Ryan (Inverness)

Yep, was a stunning car that!

Theres me as well...... until tommorrow

Aberdeen...................

Aberdeen here....

me as well 20vt in glasgow

Another Aberdonian

There's always that catman fella too

I guess i'm guilty too in Bathgate.

Here's one though how many LE's are there in Scotland???

But do you mean club members or forum members? Big difference in numbers there

The Aberdeen lot mostly are. Few other Scottish club members only.

I am!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like we need a recruitment drive

I'm here too.

Why do you ask?

I aint a member yet. I dont wanna pay for my membership before i actually own a working coupe that doesnt pish oil!

Ross

Really just wondered, coz theres a load of coups I see around the central belt, but never see here.

Member from Dundee.

I often see 2 different yellow coupés, 1 dark red, 1 red and sometimes another steel grey - so thats 6 in and around Dundee, counting me. I don't know if any apart from me are members though?

I note it's mainly Glaswegians that have difficulty coughing up

So I guess there is one way to find out, would there be enough interest to hold a Scottish FCCUK/Forum or some such event? Maybe July/August/September time? I know we started down this road one the old forum, just before the motormania place closed down, would be happy to look again if there was enough interest.

Stirling? Perth? Somewhere central?

I'm up for it.

Central sound fine

Yeah sounds very good. Stirling castle???

How about the Falkirk wheel. The quite often have a cruise there i believe which suggests that it would be suitable for a load of cars to park up. Never been myself though. Does anyone know anything about it?

There is a load's of parking there Matt, and if they have a cruise meet there I guess they are open to this kind of thing.

So, I guess we go to votes, Stirling Castle or the Wheel?



And as pencil in date, how does first weekend in August sound?

I'd be up for it. Falkirk Wheel meet is a good idea!! Plenty of room!

Che ur good at organising. Set an exact date (preferably a sunday) and post a new thread regarding it!!!

Ross

Awww look at the bunch of northen barry's off to their cruise

Begbie's just jealous because he cant make an engine last long enough to get to a 'cruise'.

i used to be a member and probably will support this place again , im just a bit skint when i would rather buy allancohol

Why don't you all just travel as far as the southerners do and come to the actual annual FCCUK event

A good idea in theory, Bobbs. The only problem with that is that it would mean venturing into Englandshire

Chickens

I keep meaning to!

I've been as far as Elvington b4

Well it's only about another 2 hours maximum from there

I'm just outside Perth at least until we sell the house then, who knows?.
Was a member last year and keep meaning to cough up again this.

Regularly see a couple of other coupes around Perth but not on here.

I would attend the event but it didnt fit in with my plans last year!

Ross

Falkirk Wheel does it for me.

Anyone wanna set a date for this then?

Ross

I'll ping an email to both the Castle and Wheel on Monday and see what they have available. I'm also very conscious of cross over with any official FCCUK event, so want to check in with Bobbs before we firm up

Good plan dude!

Ross

Any thoughts on here as a possible venue?

Scottish Motoring Heritage Centre

Coupe dependant (thats my new phrase) i should be able to make whatever!

Ross

Bugger i put a note on another thread about a possibility. See the scottish Italian car day thread for the full sp. basically what about meeting up at X-treme karting in larbert. A meet, some karting and facilities too.

Xtreme karting is fun place! Been there a few times! That would also be a go!

Ross

Sounds like a winner to me Marco.

Ditto.

I have an endurance race once a month there so i'll speak to Scott and Barrie and see what they can do. Are we talking a Sunday afternoon??

Whenever, it sounds like a cracking idea Sparco. Could we get it for a day do you think?

E-mailed them this morning so we'll see what they say. They have very good facilities and a nice dry car park.

Quite a central location for everyone too

work dependant i will come with my mew mota

i'm in stirling and just a forum member but would be up for a meet if the times didn't clash with work.

Barrie has got back to me and a sunday afternoon would be best as he can do us 2x20 lap sessions for £15 a head from 6-10. So say around 4pm on a sunday afternoon which would suit the long lie brigade.

I'm not sure how to do a poll but a show of numbers would be good and at the end of the day it's only an option.

That sounds like a winner to me.

Ditto.

I'm up for it, as long as doesn't crash with Crail etc

i finish at 4 on a sunday,so can make it just after that as im only in stirling,so count me in.

Works for me

and again work dependant count me in i could possibly have a few more interested seeing as its only 4 miles from me and its not a bad price at all. might even bring my coupe instead cause barries exige would show up my VX , maybe he will have a shot for a shot ???????

Defo in for this aswell. Me and my gf infact!!!

Ross

So any news on this?

Sorry yes all we need to do is put forward somoe dates and go from there.

How about August 6th?????

Sounds good to me I'm in.

Indeed, that sounds great.

im free that date (nightshift night before so if i get beat thats my excuse )

count me in!

Right will broach Aug 6th with them and see what's what the i'll get back.

Right barrie has just replied:
Marco

The 6th of August is free so we can definately sort something out for you, do you have a time that you are meeting up? I would prefer to avoid our busier time of 2 - 4pm if possible? This should also mean we can sort out a deal for you all?

So either late morning or late afternoon?

We can offer a buffet, from simple sandwiche platters to more expensive buffets as per attached sheet.

Not quite sure what you mean by start outside? Are you planning to get all the cars lined up / outside meet etc? Shouldnt be a problem with this at any time?

Do you have a rough idea of numbers?

If you can let me know your preferences for the above then I will discuss with Scott and see what we can do. Feel free to call if its easier.

Cheers

Barrie


I reckon about 3pm ish outside for a bit of a line up etc then 4pm get the helmets on and have a laugh. As for the food well once we get numbers then he can do us an all in price. Still cheap for the karting though.

Sounds good Sparco, put me down,

Che

Yes, count me in. All going to plan i should be back in plenty time for this.

Okay we'll take it that the date is set. There are a maximum of 8 karts at any one time so if we can get 8 bodies minimum then i reckon it's a goer.

Definates

Me
Che
MattB
Fiat131turbo

We'll let this run for a week or so and see what's what before i book anything.

Chances are high I'll be out of the country at the start of August Im afraid

it would be 4.30 at the earliest for me to get over if thats any use.

August the 6th is my mates wedding, sorry lads.

don't worry lads we'll tell you all about it.

Alrighty there!!

I am a very proud owner of a Porto 20VT, Just starting out on the road to modifieng heaven... Staying in Edinburgh at the mo.

Was looking through old threads about a meet. Did it eventually happen then??

Have an idea for a meet..

On the 1st July at Knockhill they are hosting the British D1 (drifting ) series.

Now i know coops are scupperd here with their FWD setup, but you wouldnt find a more spectacular event for a meet.

Not quite sure what the circuit will be. Rekon they must start about half way round, last hairpin then veere off the home straight onto the car park and set up cones up there for the last few bends.

Drifting is awesome and such a spectator happy sport.

I,m definitely gonna be there. Infact i might even take it easy on the Sat nite before.

Admission is between 3 - 10 PM

Any thoughts???

Rick

Im moving into my new house 3 days before the karting, so i cant confirm right now!

Ross

After a little cajoling Barrie from x-treme has offered us 2x25 lap sessions for £20 per person which is 25% free on his original offer.

C'mon lads either we want to do this or not. If the date doesn't suit then don't be afraid to suggest an alternative.

Sparco, just a thought but it might be worth firing up a new thread for this as the title is still how many Scottish Members do we have.

Thanks for organising it though, put me down plus 1.

I'm interested in this too, might bring someone along too but may be tight for time as I will be in Edinburgh for the afternoon.

I should make it plus 1 depandant on final date!

Ross

August 6th might be cutting it fine for me coming back, but i'll pay to come anyway as i definately will if i'm back.

this thread had moved guys!!!!

Just joined! Im in Dundee but dont have a Coupe yet.
