SCOTTISH Meet and greet

[Rifleman]

I think to be fair, when I asked last year, there was so little time to get it organised because I asked a bit late. People did say "Go for it" though, so thats why I asked this time round.
If things had gone right for me the day before Stu's attempt, I would have gone to his.
He knows though that it was depending on a job being completed the day before. Which unfortunately didnt happen, and we had to work the day of the meet.
I was annoyed because I was looking forward to it.
I still want to do the Dukes path though, camera at the ready.
We should all discuss the way forward for meetings at the show on the 4th. Seeing as there will be lots of us there, and we will have the whole day to talk it over.
Cant wait now.

agree with that young sir

How about 1 meet per year.
4 prizes:-
Mad and muddy class... Most Mud.....&.... Most Trashed
Clean and Cute class....Best Outside....&.......Best Inside
Or 2 meets per year one Mad & Muddy in a pay and play
and the Clean & Cute one on forestry tracks or at the seaside.
That way the two extremes get their own meet and all the rest get two.
Personally I would have the judging in the local town with lunch in the village hall so that the locals see all the Fronteras lined up.
Youse could even let the locals judge like they do at concours events where the public get a bit of paper and just put the Reg No. in the space.

Over here it happens all the time. Every time there's a Fete the local council pay for a meal for all the car enthusiasts or Horse Driven Stuff or military re-enactment or or or clubs who sign up.
Twice this year I've had a Sunday afternoon procession of classic cars drive past the end of the lane (drinks and deckchairs job) 'cos they all want to be photoed in front of the neighbours Chateau.
Then of course there is the 2Km straight bit through the forest and out into the open that they hoof it on. Them Ferraris and Iso Griffos .... when they howl. Mind you a Cobra giving it laldy into the distance don't half prickle the back of the neck.
Last one,3 weeks ago, was for a , can't remember the name of it, charity and there were 199 classic cars; 4 hours of it.
If the Farmyard Obstacle had been mobile I could have made it 200 Classics.
Or you could just copy Bala, it works.

how is slapshop last time i spoke to him he went to the darkside, I go offroading with the smc they have a couple of events coming up. S for offrosad meet most of the scottish members dont want to go go offroading there wont be many meets on here for offroading unless its a Main fog event.
An in general most of them member dont want regular meets

neil sold his fronty to a guy out crief way, i've seen it a few times since at perth.
he changes hobbies more than his boxers lol, he's back into his hillwalking and is not sure if he'll bother with offroading anymore

[imprezaspectator]

hey Impreza, hows it going? I'm always up for offroading and haven't tried the Newtonhill site yet I guess you were bitten by the bug on that trip to lamancha, eh?! My trucks come a long way since you saw it then! Did Neil sell his?

hey vaux,
yeh that trip was my first time out to see what offroading is all about, was a great day and i was truely hooked after that, took me a while to get my own jeep though.
i noticed in the box under your avitar that you've done a fair bit too your fronty, no more snow chains for playing in the mud then ?
newtonhill hill is a good wee site, handy for me too as it's only 15mins away
i've been over twice since i built mine but its a bit boring offroading on your own lol

Hi CityKid, read the above list of members and wondered if a meet has been arranged for the near future early 2011. I am aware Dave from Fife had raised a thread last week proposing a Scotland area meet in the summer of 2011, is this the same thing? Regards David.

[dave1966]

Big Dav,as far as I know this isnt to do with what I was trying to sort out for the summer 2011. If you go to page 1 on this thread you will see that this was started on March 25th 2010.

Hi Dave, yep, saw it was a geriatric thread and thought it coincidental to your new thread last week. Will wait and see what happens. David.

[dave1966]

David,I cant work out what is going on with this thread. I would have thought if something was happening on this thread that the original author would have put an update on this thread but we shall see what happens on here. If I here anything from S.A.N.D.S,I will post it on my thread. Dave.

[bigdazz]

no meet organized. Keith rifleman will be organising the annual Scottish meet i think we had one last year, this is a old thread of a meet that never came off

[Rifleman]

As above. Last year we decided to make our annual (non off road) meet, the classic car show at Bridge of Allan.
This is to get as many Scottish members together for a BBQ, a laugh, and to show off our cars.
I am happy to keep organising this, if someone else would care to take on the organisatiuon of the off road meetings.

[dave1966]

Hi Keith,Im hoping to have my Fronty back on the road before that annual event at Bridge of Allan and hopefully I will get there this time.

Bigdazz,I thought this was an old thread.

i think someone tried to organize a meet before until Keith sorted a meet for us all which was very good and will be attending again this year i am not really doing the off road thing any more going for the do it up keep it clean look as i discuses with Keith when i get my new fonty more interested in road trips and events think the one Keith sorted was excellent and looking forward to it again there is always drumclog was up few weeks ago visiting with land rover club once you have done it a few times gets boring and a bit dear at 24.00 pound for the day think a road trip would be fun up north
