Have a good-un guys I wont be making it up.

Can you guys confirm meeting at McDonalds nr Forth bridge around 830 am please?
Also if anyone's done this one before it would be useful to know if there are food stalls etc as my lad is diabetic and needs to eat regularly.

Thanks, Simon.

Kelv sorry to hear you're still stuck, hope you get it sorted eventually. Visa problems leave you so b****y powerless don't they.

Simon,

There will be food available to purchase on the day.

Hi chaps,sorry wont be there in the coop ,alternator didnt get delivered in time today and will be Sunday/Monday before its back on the road!Worse things happen at sea etc etc,still may come up on the Duke though,if I dont,have a great day!

Don't think I'm going make this as my brother is selling his house and needs a wad of work done, with my own work options very scare on the ground at the moment I have time tis now. Doing work for my broth makes me feel good.

After reading Mr. Edinburgh's post about his son, I thought I might be diabetic, then I realised after a large chicken kebab and a portion of chips , then some crisps that I am just a greedy fat bastardo.

Did I mention the pies

Hope you all have a good time

Sorry you can`t make it Kelv i`l try and get some good pic`s for you
Shame there are a few unable to attend as it was a great line up last year.

Baz,what time do you want to meet at the services? 8/8,30?

Dave

Aye I can be at Hamilton services for around that time and that should make it around 9am for meeting Marco at Harthill .

Disappointing that the Coop count has dropped ,but I guess there's always next year to get a good turn out .

Baz

No Kelv, no Sparkyman, no Steamer? its turning out to be another south-of-the-border-coops-lets-make-the-numbers-up meet!

Only joking guys, gutted you cant make it. Looking forward to yet another meet this year, just back from Mitcar, Cholmondely last month and Bristol earlier on in the year.

Cant miss this one as i had to work and missed out on SICD at St Andrew's.

Dave, what time do you want to meet up?

is everyone still meeting at macdonalds beside the forth bridge?

Same as last year? what time?

Baz,thats spot on, i`l give you a buz when were enroute.

Rob,Say 7 at the shell again?

Your just a coupe meet whore


Hubby,were planning on stopping at Mc D`s,will hopefully be there for 9.30 ish with your DVD`s .

Dave

Hello all

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Do we have any idea how many cars are coming along? It's looking like a scorcher :-)

thats the nicest type of whore i've ever been called

Yeah bud, 7 at the shell on A74

Makes no difference to him sparkers, he can fell a burger stand from a coop's length.

It's amazing what folk cope with, the Bee's illustrious predecessor being no exception.

Sorry you are doing good family deeds.

The cars have to be in position by 9.30 - I'm picking Edinburgh junior up at Linlithgow station at 8.20 and if no-one is meeting at McD's it saves me a dog leg.

Baz you have pm.

9.30! thought it was 10? cars were rolling in at all times last yr....

Fc the site says clubs need to be on site by 9.30 or we just have to park in the public park, not quite the impact I had envisaged

see you there

Yep doesn't look as if anyone is going to McD's.........

so is everyone just making there own way there? no convoy
i thought we had to arrive together? so we all got parked together?...........so is it 9.30 at hopetoun?

Give me 5 min Andrew i`m on it

you have a pm

See you all tomorrow

Dave

I guess that's how it's going be .

See you all there .

Baz

I hope you all have a good day and get there OK.

shame you cant make it jeff, see you at the next one.

Does anyone have the directions to hopetoun house? i seem to remember last time we had to take a certain route?

never mind lol i found it

I think the last time Marco took lead and took us a route that went under the FRB and along the shore but looking on Google maps it looks as though you can get to it from further along the McDonalds road.

I'll be a slave to my TomTom anyway .

Baz

http://italiancarandbikeday.co.uk/?page_id=16 it says you need to enter it from the road along the side of the forth as all other gates and entrances will be closed

That'll save me having an embarrassing long reverse back up a single track road then .

Baz

Some pics....fantastic weather in great grounds. An anti-wasp machine would come in handy next time

Good meeting folk and putting faces to names, also got bedtime reading, thanks Marco
