    I'd love to get a Scottish meet organised at some point. The main problem is getting everyone together & picking a meeting point we can all reach with general ease.

    I'm planning a trip north at some point this year, just need to sort out a bit of time off.

    Usually I go up to wester ross, visit my aunt.

    It's about 80miles from Kyle.

    Could arrange a mini meet at some point, but the last "big" hike up north with the convoy of volvos up to Fort Augustus, which was quite good fun, but it may be a touch of a hike out for you too?

    Would love to do that again really!

    I'd be up for a meet! There doesn't seem to be a lot of people that are prepared to attend the Scottish VOC meets, so seeing the same couple of cars is getting a bit boring now.


    I don't care if you have a T-5, a T-5R or an R......
    ......they wouldn't have existed if my Turbo hadn't forged the path!

    Last meet I went to was at strathy about this time last year, which was a good laugh, but could have involved a drive & a stop off somewhere....

    Also hanging about strathy drew the attention of quite a few Barries... Fraz was included in that group!

    There was one a while back I arranged at Falkirk wheel overflow car park, which was well attended.

    maybe we could ressurrect that venue as a central sort of place >?

    Falkirk, central to..... Falkirk?

    Yeah that's a good spot to meet up at, but the main issue is dog mess in the car park.

    Fraz still has his trophy!
