Hey Kerr,

You don't need to do anything except turn up!

Ed likes to have everyone arranged; as there is often difficulty getting in later on, as the place fills up. So an early start and meet up is preferable if you want to be with the gang.

Only fee is once we get there, which I think was '£5 per car'(?) - it's at the beginning of this thread anyway.

You don't need to be in the Coupé Club to attend, but it's always good to be in the family...

Cool, I'll try and come either way
If the coupes not ready I'll come along anyway
Cheers

What time are people happy to meet at the usual place McDonald's South ueensferry?

Great Rob see you at 9... its a long haul for you! what time you passing Motherwell Jct or heading east?

Not sure Brian, I'll try and get hold of you en route and give you a rough eta

Looks like we might go up the 702 so just meet you there mate

Tremendous day out today... best one for a long time.

Didn't even manage a single photo... all day spent chatting.

Good to see some new and old faces, some with coupes and some not.

Sorry Jim I didn't get a chance to speak

Great pics... have you seen that one with the legs just sticking out from the left of the pic?

Nice weather and nice to catch up with those that will still there when I arrived at end of day as a spectator.

Next Sunday if anybody is up for it.
Great car show for all the family.

I didn't really get a chance to stop long enough to speak to anyone, was a hectic day. It took me a moment, but yup, I've found the disembodied legs.

Really sunny and one of the best weather days we've had for this event, and good to catch up with many old mates (not you DD )
and new ones too



Although the chat and company was great for me the venue/show is limited in appeal for several reasons

1. Again, apart from the Ferraris and more pricey charabancs which were molly-coddled through the easy entrance , we were routed in down this half-mile long dusty windy track so when we arrived on stance every car was coated in dust and bits of dried mud. Since it's a car "show" and most folk have gone to a bit of bother cleaning up their vehicles I'm not impressed with this.
Two years ago it had been raining and the upcast crud was so bloody awful I complained, and we seemed to get in the alternative entrance.

2. 30 mins before public opening time there was no paper towel in the WC. At 2.00 the gents toilets couldn't flush as no water was getting through - something they knew about when I complained

3. There's nothing for kids, no stalls, simulators, go-karts, bouncy castle etc.

Someone suggested approaching Callendar Park in Falkirk which I think's a great idea. But I'm not that attracted to return to this venue next year tbh.

There were a few double takes in store today - have a look at the reg. plates!

Oh and sorry not to catch you jimbob

We did spot you Simon, but you were busy chatting to a few folk so we didn't want to intrude. Have to agree with much of what you say, we were watching a few cars coming down the rutted track and it did not look kind to them.

We made the decision to leave Amy-Lee with her gran and were very glad of that, as she would have been bored witless.

Mrs. Jimbob commented on the lack of stalls and the somewhat overpriced (even for a car meet) food. I heard at least a dozen folk comment on how empty the field looked too, I have a pic showing a large taped off area with nothing parked there.

The weather was excellent and it was a day out, but I wasn't overwhelmed.


Just to make the day really interesting, the clutch on my aging Citroën packed up on the way home and the new Cactus isn't due to arrive for another two weeks, so I now have two grouchy females in the house... I may not survive to get to another meet.

Yes, £3.75 for a bacon roll which took at least 10 minutes to arrive even before official opening.

Sorry to hear about your clutch, did you just drive on timing or did you give in and call the cavalry?

Talking of journeys home I wonder how Rob40 got on going back to Carlisle.....

We waited in line for food, as we couldn't see a price list anywhere, when the lad in front of us was asked for nearly £14 for two rolls and two coffees we rather promptly decided to wait until we left the event and eat elsewhere.

I just crashed the gears in to get home, the car's getting scrapped anyway so I figured it couldn't hurt.

Carlisle to Cupar was quite a jaunt, that's dedication.
