As you will all know by now our April meet is booked in for a visit to Davy at "B.M Motors" at Law Village ( as organized by Gary ). Davy has , as in previous years , asked if a "Few" of us would like to get there car on the ramp for a couple of minutes to see the underside . This is an opportunity very few of us have as we don't all have access to a ramp. Therefore we will be compiling a list , as we did last year which worked successfully, of the people who would like this done . Then if there is any work you require to be done you can book it in with Davy. If this is of interest to you please post up here or P.M me so as i can compile a running order. Just send me your name . Thanks !! -------------  |

Any of the East coasters wanna meet up and drive through so we don't get lost, could follow Nero. Hermiston Gate is a building site at the mo so thats out cos the cars'll get clarty. What about the park and ride just off the Calder junction on the A71 or maybe even Gyle carpark?? The other thing is I have a 1 hour long film on Colin McRae on my laptop, if anyone wants to see it (or parts of it), I'll be happy to bring it along with the VGA projector. There must be a wall to project it on to at the garage. Just a thought. ------------- |

Hey East Coasters, Why don't we meet up at the Gyle Carpark at 12PM. As you come into the Gyle from the Gogar roundabout there's a wee slip road before the next roundabout at the entrance to the shopping centre. follow it round and I'll park up just a wee bit after it comes into the carpark, Canny miss me, Biaritz Blue E39, my ugly mug behind the wheel. I chose the Gyle cos its only 2 minutes further from Hermiston gate and M8 for all of us coming round the bypass, Issy, Vpricey, Rossi, Me and whoever and its just a few mins from the Newbridge for the Fifers if you wanna join up too and if you're in Town, lets face it, you kinda need to go past it anyway. Hope I'm not stealing anyones thunder here in arranging this, Hopefully Nero and some more experienced forum members will meet and "show us the way" Probrbly aim for leaving there between 12:20 and 12:30 to head through for lunch. Pictures, As per an earlier posting, I'll be bringing my laptop / VGA projector to show at Davies (if theres room) If anyone thats going to attend wants to show some digital pics while there, bring them along on a flash drive and they can be shown from there. Wouldn't mind seeing a Bluebro "before and after" slideshow (the car!!) it would be nice to see some pics of previously owned motors etc. Just a thought !! CS ------------- |

I loved my golf day and admit I did a wee drive past at half five. Only got a glimpse of someone getting into a silver M3 with CSL wheels Maybe it was a csl. A few cars left didn't bother stopping as had to get my passenger home for his tea! Didn't see anyone enjoying any driving on the nearby roads.

Folks that was my second meet and was a great day out. Great to talk to everyone and great weather made the day. Fantastic to meet the legends that are Davy and Jean. Big thanks to Davy for looking over the car esp. as mine was later in the day. Even greased up my sticky bonnet catch for me. Big bonus for me was he said underside was like new I must second Pardeep's 'freash outa the box' looking M3 was highlight of my day.
