Dill - whereabouts are you travelling up from? If from the NEast and you're doing the A1 or via Coldstream then perhaps we can go up in convoy (I'm based near Duns)

If you haven't already purchased your ticket you will need to do so in advance
Hope you guys have a great day, Marco Haig said he's going as well
Ha - this "rogue" Portofino turned up (one of two actually, the other owner has already joined the forum!) so with my "hat" on I went over to leave a note but then Marco turned up and claimed it!
Will post pics later...

Thoroughly enjoyable day, fine weather (not hot) and good to be out and about with like-minded folk crazy about Italian cars again
Great efforts from Rob and Angelo to come up from Carlisle and good to see a new face from Glasgow in Glen in his Porty, hope you can join us at our monthly evening meets in Newhouse/Livingston
Scott and Craig's LE's were looking minty and we'll be seeing a lot more of Alan and his 16v now's he's up in God's country
My lad Ben suggested moseying round the House after it all quietened down, there was a deal for SICD ticket-holders so in fact it turned out very enjoyable and welcoming - it's a lived-in house and the residents seem to be generous with what people can see/touch/experience. Assistants all very friendly too.

We’ve missed this fantastic venue. Massive turnout, spilling over into another car park, which continually grew all day.
Had many in-depth conversations with strangers and great compliments on the work done to my car, very humbling.
Brian, missed you today mate. Hope your road trip is going well. Great to meet up again with everyone, hope to meet up in a few weeks at Thirlstane Castle
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Hi All Great to be back at a car show and viewing and chatting cars for good few hours. Also met a few on here, and managed to sneak in with the rogue Portofino

Hi Glen and a formal welcome, congrats on joining so fast
As I mentioned on Sunday June 19th there is a big meet at Thirlestane by Lauder - although entries are officially "in" if you are interested I will approach the organisers to see if you can join us on the pitch.
