Scottish Borders Rally June 4th - 11/01/2017 09:59
Scottish Borders Vintage Motoring Extravaganza at Thirlestane Castle Just to remind folks that after witnessing and being impressed by last year's event I contacted the organiser who has agreed to a section being put aside for FCCUK to display in this year.
More details will follow once the BVAC website is updated....

Not looking good for me and coupe related meets this year. I'll be back at work when this is on.
Maybe I'll send you a poster of my car to put up in my absence.

Ha!
Good news all round.
Yeah- your right, Bern: I need to do a bit of work on Coupé-mic'ing.
Recently made a contact mic (which would be good for the engine) so I've got no excuse, really...

Iain you're too late I'm afraid to get on the official entry, the last 3 were allocated on Thursday.
But come along anyway and make a presence the more the merrier!
Hey Marko, you going after all? Is your coop going to be ready?

Probably not Simon as Ticketmaster or their affiliate sites wont take back or re-sell my Kraftwerk Tickets for some reason they cant explain ? So guess I am going to Dublin after all.

Re: Scottish Borders Rally June 4th - 22/05/2017 14:47
Are there any plans to meet up on route on the bypass on Sunday morning?
I'll be coupeless but guessing we have to be in a good bit before 11.

Yes we'll meet up somewhere like the Steading carpark which is on the A702 Biggar Road opposite the Esso garage, a few hundred metres after the Lothianburn exit from the Edinburgh Bypass
Steading carpark Time tbc when I receive the entry cards

Rendezvous
I've now received all the passes.
We need to be in position by 1030 so suggest meeting at the above venue (see previous post) for 0920 to arrive in convoy. There are wristbands, a green windscreen pass and a map of the site with instructions which I'll hand out there.

Delighted you could come on board Russ, plenty to see and a friendly atmosphere. It's an impressive event, really well-organised and attended which I'll certainly be applying for participation in again next year
No doubt some pics will appear soon.
Now for the North of Scotland Tour and then some malarkey down "Dee"side in August!

For Jimmy as your pm is full up.
The restoration chap is Bill Dalgetty at Stack Yard west, Knowes Farm,Dunbar.
And Nick Harper in Norwich does the engine detailing we spoke about.
I will also ask a friend who is modding another Fiat X19 to see if he knows of anyone who can do what you want.
Cheers.
Russ.

Russ, Jimmy needs to have made a minimum of 5 posts to allow the PM facility to work.
I'll text him to read your post
