Scottish Italian Car Day, Craigtoun Park, 30th May

In addition to the Hopetoun House meet in August, theres the Scottish Italian Car Day in Craigtoun Park in St. Andrews.

From the information I can find on the web, it is held on the 30th of May this year.

Description on Fifedirect website:


Whose up for it?

CONVOY TO ST. ANDREWS
The meeting point will be at McDonalds, Builyeon Road South Queensferry, West Lothian, EH30 9YJ.

Please be there for 9.30 A.M.

UPDATE TO THOSE ATTENDING
We are required to display something on our windscreen to indicate to the event marshalls on which club we belong to. Could those attending please print and display the following please:



Kindly let me know by PM if this would be a problem.

Im nightshift so should be ok for this !

Always a good day so count me in again

I thought the Hopetoun House meet was replacing the usual SICD at Fife . No matter,it's always good to get along to an Italian car gathering .

Should be able to make this one again .

Baz

So we'll finally be able to see this fabled black LE .

Baz

Bet you a tenner that slim doesn't turn up Baz.


excuses form the big dobber to come

No the Hopetoun House meet doesn't replace the Craigtoun one. St.Andrews Italian car day is organised by Alfa Romeo Owners Club as far as i'm aware.

Keep up Baz....

Me. Maybe. Offshore more than likely though.

Were defo going to this as usual was fantastic last year!!! f50`s 599`s race 430`s 20vt`s

Dave

Yep, me and Angelo as usual and very probably Sealey in his Lancia Beta Spider Volumex

Dave, see if you can get hold of John for this, J was driving around in the charged Sud so should be ready for this too

I should well be there too if I am not away with work

Name calling is a form of bullying and as such cannot be tolerated on a forum such as this!

I've just been informed by Jackie of AROC (organisers of this event) that we should have some sort of note on our windscreen indicating which club we are with so that the right directions can be given at the gate. Without this note, we would be diverted to the general parking area.

I'll get something organised and post it here for everyone to print. Is that ok with you guys?

Very unlikly i will be able to come to this one this year with it being bank holiday weekend

i take your car up but if not might just go for the ride out with someone

err no lol

Thats fine Kelv,not a bad idea as we got directed to the ferrari line 2yr back and last year the x1/9 were a wee but disspleased with the possitioning..

Dave

ps Johnny, just nick his keys...he wont miss it

ps Johnny, just nick his keys...he wont miss it [/quote]

You buy new turbo i give you keys i think is fair

Put me in as a maserati owner Kelv, fed up again hanging about with the riff-raff

As long as it's within easy walking distance of the burger van. Obviously.

dont forget the ice cream van too

Yes Jackie is fully aware of what happened last year with the fiat forum folks...hence the implementation of notices on the windshield.

Ronster, I've just tried putting you with the maserati owners club in their new online check-in thingie..unfortunately your application came back with, 'Computer says NO'.

You guys

forgot the 8c !

Oh god dave the 8C how could you what a car well done jack

My appologys! here`s a pic to say sorry



Dave

And here's a video of the 8C driving by too clicky

Baz

Very nice

I'm hoping to be at this although I think my mother-in-law is moving house that weekend so I might be elsewhere on van driving duties.

Would a scruffy coupe (although it is in the best colour ) be ok or do you want me to try and park next to the Alfas to, er, blend in?

Is yours energy green Tim?

No.

It's better than that and very appropriate for the car being up here.

Well done guys I was out of film by the time it arrived

Ooooh,I just watched the 8c again!
Car porn!!!!!!

Do we have a list of attendees yet?

I'm likely offshore - I can pass the club banner to Fran though. Unless you already have one Kelv?

You might as well. We had a good turnout last year but the only banner we had was only visible in the grass, after the show!!

Can be have a bbq?

No don't have a banner Matt so if you could pass to Fran, that would be great.

Have not used the gazebo since getting it from the club...cause its a real pig to carry! Weighs a ton and doesn't quite fit in the coupe. It'll fit..just..if I use the ski hatch though.

BBQ..yes please

I might come, depending on how drunk I get the night before.

Wouldn't have thought it wise to be mentioning on a public forum that your possibly going to be drinking a few before going on a road trip to Scotland.

Baz

Pleased you can make it Craig

Dave

99 how many you exspecting to come dave lol


paul

I *may* be able to make this !

No I'm not dead !

Will not put my name down yet but will know nearer the time, hopefully make up a northern convoy with Fran and MattB

Be good to see you again Kev .

Baz

No excuses Kev. You're coming.

Right i guess we better start discussions on our convoy plans. As per the year before, we meet at South Queensferry.. Mcdonalds?

However, the Fiat Scotland gang are also there at about 9a.m so could be a little crowded? Not that we have anything against them (great guys them lot) but i just don't think there is enough car park spaces? Does anyone have suggestions for another meeting point?

Hmmm that could be a problem,I quite like my Maccy D bacon rolls for breakfast .

Baz

Iv noticed!!
McDs is fine by me,if its crowdwd then its going to be crowded with hot Italian models!!!!!

What's the weather forecast like for sunday?

Rob,you live close enough to Scotland to know that it dont matter a fek,what they say! However I think it may start off cold and damp,then a few bright spells followed by a few inches of heavy snow!
Nah! Hot and sweaty,which is fine if your with a woman but not good if your in the coop!
Thank you Robin Williams ,Good Morning Vietnam,stylee!

Just heard there may be a bit of snow overnight in the highlands so dont put your winter gear away just yet

Snow

will make a nice change for the pic`s

very different pictures indeed i have never seen lambos/ ferraris in snow before

paul.

One year there was a Ferrari owner who refused to bring his car into the field as the grass was wet and his precious 308 might've got slightly damp

I'm not going to be able to make it this weekend.

What time are the convoy meets in Penrith and at the services in the Gap ?

Jeff you have a pm.
I`ll be taking a few coupe bits to sell to st Andrews is anyone`s interested,new drivers side headlight a couple of spoilers etc,

Dave

Hi guys, unfortunately I won't make it again this year due to work commitments!!!

My other half might pop down in the coop, but i'm not 100% if she will...

Have a good day out, hopefully it'll be a good one

Shame you and Tim cant make it

Well I hope the weather is good to you. It's an absolutely cracking day out here in the middle of the North Sea. Not a ripple of a wave or a breath of wind.

Do we have a meeting time for Carlisle/Penrith convoy at Shell station off J44 like last year?

Ye 7.30 ish are you going make it Rob?

Trying to juggle staff round because chris on paternity leave now after having baby boy yesterday. I'll know for definitely tonight but just trying to get the crack in case its a proper last minute thing.

Anybody got a 12v soldering iron? Jeff, you got some unfinished work to do

Not a 12 volt one. Yeah I can give a bit of a hand with it. I was in Carlisle today should have given you a ring Rob

Sadly going to have to give this a miss ( again !)
Just been too busy all week and suffering from slight sleep deprivation

Hope yous have a good day anyway , hopefully it will stay dry, cast doesn't look too great unfortunately .

Weather wasn't up to much, got better as the day went on though.

Nice to see you all again ( bunch of weirdos ) and some new faces

Steamer don't know if you noticed but your car seems a bit smoky , oh and one of your pipes blows of a bit which disables the car,apart from that everything is OK, well apart from the starter relay thing....and the hazard button, but apart from that its hokey dokey.

On the plus side your car looks tops

Does anyone have picture of Baz NOT eating

Had a good day as usual at this meet although the weather was poor...
Thanks to Kelv for bringing the Tent sorry Gazebo was nice to use in the rain to feed Ben
we had a good drive home down the A7 instead of the normal motorway
Here are some of my pic`s
As a collective effot we had it up in 20 min
i had a sit in this beauty,plush and absolute quality! never heard a italian car door close with such a nice sound(just like a golf)
think this was a hawk replica Stratos?
Angelo`s super clean 16VT
Ronny`s stunner
Lush black LE
Our red line up on the way home

Dave

You got to sit in that Dave

Gazebos seemed a very complicated bit of kit considering it basically unfolded.

Going to get rid of that jacket, it makes me look round

Couldn't believe how much hair the wee man has now Dave

Nice pics

nice pics dave as dave said had a really good day shame about the weather but ended up bein nice later on good drive home aswell
look forward to seeing more pictures

paul.

Thanks to all who came yesterday and for braving the weather!

Yes the club Gazebo really came in handy and thank you everybody for helping me set it up.

See you all at the next one!

As usual I had a great time yesterday,the weather was a bit dreary to start with but it soon brightened up enough for the OCD crew to get out their polishing cloths .

I think Sparky's Coupé impressed me the most with the Ferrari Grey coloured mirrors,grill and light pods. When the sun eventually came out they looked stunning when the light shone on them .

Roll on the next meet at Hopetoun House,hopefully I'll have some of the jobs done on my Coupé for then .

Baz

I have to agree with Baz's comments, Ronnies car definately won the day for me too. Looks mate.

Steamer, great to finally put a face to the name, hope you get the niggles with your car sorted out ok.

I think that having to turn up car-less has finally given me the motivation to get my a*$e into gear, so have spent the day working away at it. Seems to be one step forward, two back. Now I need to add new brake lines and a handbrake cable to my list , but I'm loving the lowered look.

It was good to catch up with a few of the old faces, and am now looking forward to the Hopetoun meet. I promise I'll try my best to have the car ready, but no promises guys. Seems I've got a mountain to climb and the list of jobs is still growing!!

Cheers for the lovely comments lads, think I must have been in the best spot to take advantage of the light as there where plenty of lovely coupes there.

Paypal on the way

Was kinda losing interest in the coupe, it's amazing what a wee clean up does inside and out to change how you feel about the car.

Hopefully you'll get the car ready for hopetoun house Ian, you did kinda promise junior

Great meet as always guys, I think the coups are getting better and better every year.

Looking forward to hopetoun

Glad the weather improved, was p***ing down here in the morning and a good breeze of NE wind .
Looked a nice line up of coops

Hey Kev sorry you missed this one!
Got to agree,Sparkys coop is superb! His rear end is just stunning,Id love to have it!!!!!!
If only I had foresight when the Italian bloke asked me if my car was for sale!!!!!!!!!
He would have got a very diferent answer if he had waited an hour or so lol! Aint even looked at my car today,out riding the Ducati in the sunshine superb!!!!!
Good to meet some new faces and glad to see some old ones too! Thank God for Kelv ,you know what I mean matey!!!!!!!

Camera Phone pics, Celluloids to follow...

Sorry They are very slow

Nice pic`s Jack especialy the arty mirror effect in Paul`s LE

quote..steamer...
out riding the Ducati in the sunshine superb!!!!!

And i thought the biker jacket in your coupe was just for poseing!!!

An italian car and bike at your age! thats some midlife crisis
if you wer`nt such a nice guy i could grow to dislike you,as it is i`m just verrrry jealous

So which will you take to hopetoun????

Dave

Was great to meet everyone just trying to tweak about with my pics in photoshop then il upload them all.


My fav cars of the day was Kelvs and sparkys pure coupe porn haha

Great pictures there guys. Was nice meeting you Goldy. Well done for making it

Look forward to more pics!

Fccuk!!! Even in my reflection Sparkys looks superb lol!!!!!!
Dave,Hopetoun,Ducati,Coop,Ducati,Coop? Oh I dont know,its such a horrid decision to have to make! Maybe someone could take my coop if I still have it,have fixed the issues I have with it ,and Id take the Duke!!!!!!
Having said that,I drove the coop today,first time since Sunday,no white smoke,no blue smoke,drove a treat! Should I get complacent lol?
That 8c still gives me stirrings I thought had gone forever!!!!! Sex on wheels!!!!!!

Excellent pics Jack should have took some photos myself

Couldn't believe the difference a wee bit of wax made to your motor Paul, black is probably the second best colour

Think goldy and rossco got the bargains of the day.

Hubbys engine bay is looking mint, Kelvster( god of cleanliness's ) you have competition.

This thread is turning into a love inn, can we please get back to the bitchy/snide comments that we are all use to and feel safe with .


Ps. Luv you guys

Hi chaps,just picked up my coop from DSM auto electricals in Ayr,supplied and fitted the relay to cure my hot starting (or rather not) problems!! All for a very reasonable £58,I think anyways!

Nice one Paul,hopefully that'll save you some fuel now .

Baz

Hope so Baz,I hope so!

Does this mean we don't have to shove your fat ar5e about at 8 in the morning anymore, och dam

Ps. ducati , stabiliser are a bit pishy though

Sparky my fat ar5e is yours anytime!!!!

For all of you wondering why were obsessed with Ronny`s ass here is a pic of peachy

open if you dare!!!!
note the RoFerrari gray

Dave

Dave,

I think you made a spelling error there. Its ROVER grey.

Kelv can you do me a big favour and remind me, when I see you next to " punch you on the nose" cheers mate

Its paint code is FERRARIGREY01 which I sourced of my cousin Luigi Macaroni.

I beg your pardon Sparky.. i must have got my colours mixed up.

When i saw it, I could have sworn it looked closer to the shade of ROVERGREY007 my distant cousin Harold Winston was telling me about.

Nope your both wrong its mercedesgray666 as my German uncle Hans Bratworst told me

this could go on and on
