Hi guys, I was wondering If there are any West of scotland meets going on in the next month or two? I Fancied having one so I could meet fellow BMW owners and pick their brains if required  somewhere fairly central would be ideal, like the Showcase cinema (M8) or even up Loch Lomond way? anyhoo, all ideas and suggestions welcome  neil P -------------

I'm thinking a sunday would be the best day, so that's either the 15th 22nd or 29th of january, or maybe the first couple of weeks in feb? -------------

Not trying to orginize this one,but just a suggestion Why not Depart Luss around 10.30am Take the A82 up onto the A83 Heading for Arrochar and up the Rest-and-be-Thankful Although Start of Feb maybe not ideal if loads of Snow

another suggestion: if wife's or girlfreind's/parteners are in tow then we could meet at Balloch's "Loch Lomond Shore's" plenty parking (to many parking spaces!) and a few shop's (Jenner's..etc) for the ladies to have a looksy round while us bloke's have a good ole natter bout motor's? then head of along the A82 from there maybe stopping in at Luss for a bite (snack or picnic?) Arrochar's "Pit Stop Diner" aint what it use to be (i met my wife in their 17+ yrs ago or have a drive round to Crainlaroch (anyone from the east side could go on home from there) and then we could either turn and head back the way we got their or drive through the trossacs (plenty stop off point's) toward's the Stirling straight's? (a nice plesant round the Loch drive/tour) or with enough time and planning make a night of it with a stop over? ------------- 2003-530i SE

Pete323 and ian523 (too many 23's out there )Both Ideas are great, and the routes you've suggested i'm very tempted by!only thing is, thinking that it'll literally be 6 weeks after christmas, we may want to scale things back a bit, to save on fuel costs? my wee m20 will do 170miles to £20, so i'd be up for a long haul (possibly out the a85???) think that Loch Lomond shores would be a good start point as its easily accessible,then on upto Luss/Tarbet for elevenses followed by a run up to Inverardran, then take the a85 to Lochearnhead, and roll on back to glasgow via Port of Menteith and Milngavie? Maybe get lunch either at Inverarden or Port of Menteith? -------------

Hello Earth calling NeRo - look at the rest of the thread Apologies tong328icab - I didn't look at the start of the thread and thought it was the thread about the Ashoka meet - maybe I should have worn my glasses I've done a lot of the roads around that area with other Zed owners. Great driving roads, but will be spoilt now, by the start of the caravan and motorhome season
