Sorry you can't make this Ronnie, we'll have a great time without you miss your company

My first SICB day was 2 years ago, the one where your clutch went kaput, so hadn't heard about the incident you refer to.
No need for any rough edges on these occasions, a little tolerance and flexibility goes a long way.

I'm going to try and make this. I'll try to get organised in time in the morning to make it to the FRB by 9.45...

The event is close upon us now and the weather is looking good! Just time to show you a great write up we received yesterday in The Scotsman newspaper (see here http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/motori...house-1-2461079).

See you all tomorrow!

Good man fraz

You may see Samuel Jackson Steamer tooling up from Ayr direction or in case he's not in a coop [?] he may see you!

Forecast isnae bad so bring a wee chair/rug/g-f, etc!

Jimbob, are you any further forward?

Rob40 is laying on a slap-up banquet

Sparkys clutch went 15 months ago.

I've been robbed of my temporary coupe so won't be attending.

Booooo

Ross

We're still hoping to attend, sadly without the Coupe though, as i'm still finding problems.

well think i'm in for a sleepless night tonight, highlight of my whole month SIC+BD! besides also gives me an excuse to splash out a little

LE skirts and front lips painted and fitted as of last night, 6spd box, new clutch and short shift fitted since the last meet. oh and while i was working yesterday- the legend that is dad + a day off (bored) +a little sunshine = resulted in me having a full HID conversion, my grill fixed, a new coupe engraved tax disk holder and this is the best part...the full side of my air box cut out and meshed (and everybody wonderes where i get it from) .

really sorry to here about peoples problems, and i hope everybody makes it. looking forwards to seing you all.

Went to this last year and enjoyed it. This year plan on bringing my coupe with the kids en tow for a good day out. Wont be there though until later in the morning

Not going to make it this year, Just got back from the garage but the cars not finished

Have a great time though and hopefully see you all later

Great Gary, see you there, not sure if there'll be a space alongside the rest of us but come up and suss it out

Sorry not to see you [and your dad] this time Hubby, hope all comes out well to go with that lovely respray

Eeeeeee what a good do

Probably the best mix of exotica i've seen in a long while, old and new.
Hopetoun seems to get better every year and the weather has always been brilliant, well worth adding a couple of hundred miles to my journey, the scenic route back was a hoot

Great to see everyone again and hope to see you all at xmas.

Going to hit the sack for a couple of hrs kip then off to Italy for a wee

Sofia is

Yep the weather held out and although the turnout wasn't quite as big as the May meet Steamer came up from Ayr [that your white Alfa Paul? ], Rob40 and family from Carlisle, well done guys. This guy is driving to Italy tonight - mental! Safe journey pal! Good to see some new faces, Fraser, Johnny and families, Scott, as well as stalwarts, Johnny's exhaust knocking spots off the pathetic peeps from the Lambo's
Congratulations to the organising team who kept cool and sorted us all out into groups without a fuss
Next time I'll remember to bring the foot for the banner, no wonder it failed



But who was this Moon grey?? Disappeared for most of the day, would have been good to get introduced!




The blurry one is supposed to be Baz's back seat...
No comments please!

Wow the Lambo crowd has grown quite abit since the first year!

Looks like a fantastic day out guys. Thanks for posting the pics Simon.

This event gets better every year! Loads of great Italian machinery and even a bonus Porsche meet in the car park outside with other exotica mixed among them .

Nice to see a decent turnout of Coupé's (I was surprised to be the only Sprinty there too !) As usual it was good to see the old and new faces and hopefully I'll see them all again at the Christmas meet next , good luck with your trip too Rob .

I'll get some pics uploaded on here as soon as I can but here's a link to my Facebook album for just now.

Hopetoun House 2012

A short video of some Lamborghini's driving away.

Baz

Looks like it was another cracking day and the show gets bigger every year.

I love the Cobra (even though it isnt Italian)

Was a great show! Nice to see old faces and sorry if I didnt introduce myself Im a shy boy from the coast!
Yes Simon the white GT is mine,what gave it away?

Baz, the first link not working for me??

Impressive definition on your vid! Noted that you didn''t dwell on the driver of L13MBO

Excellent pics

Looked like a great day

Good pic collection Simon. Was a great day out and some fantastic cars on display. Even the weather was great! Keeping the wee ones occupied distracted me from interacting as much as I'd have liked but they seemed to enjoy their day too. Can't believe all those Italian car enthusiasts and not one query about my Coop for sale|
Do you guys who saw think it think it is fairly priced??

some great pics,nice day for it too by looks of it

great vid too,the black lambo countach's are epic! love um and im sure that yellow SV is from blackpool,the reg looks familiar

had to share the vid,hope you dont mind lol

+1, the Cobra was a cheeky addition which had bags of character, you couldn't get upset with it not being Italian - it also had a great sound which I preferred to the strangulated dry rasps of the Lambos, well-captured by Baz in his vid.

The wee ones were great and your lad was right on the ball especially when he was giving me a hard time for not being able to put up the banner

The other guys are probably better placed to comment on your asking price - just because no-one enquired doesn't mean the price is unreasonable, it's probably that the market is a bit slow up in these parts. Heck, I don't see a coupe from one month to the next Would it be unaffordable to keep it another year, if you can keep abreast of the kids/space/bikes issue?

Forgot to add, the conversation that took place immediately before this pic went something like this:-

Angelo "I say old bean, it would be absolutely spiffing if I could just sit for a moment in a Ferrari"

Old bean " This way, sir........."

Cut to Angelo tripping out, well worth capturing

Btw, the guy standing up runs my paintshop

I'm really not much of a photographer but here's a link to a few of my pic's from Sunday...

Great selection there Jimbob - that wasn't you in the Moon grey was it?

You should have come to say hi

You never know Simon, I may just end up keeping her...might look into renting some garage space off the council or something..

Thanks. Nope, we came down in the Yaris.

Well if you like it enough and there's nowt much wrong with it it's a no-brainer
