West of Scotland unofficial meet.

following up on the silverburn thread....how many members would be interested in a small meeting..

As per Silverburn thread, yep depending on the date, count me in.

Surely i can make this one!

Hi Guys

Yep, i'm up for one, as always dependent on where and when. Anyone got any ideas for a venue? (I suppose that will depend on the make up of interested members?).

Derek

a serious possibility - just a matter of where and when, keep us informed, please,
Martin

http://www.pic4ever.com/images/bliss.gif Sounds good to me!

Sounds good to me too, count me in.

:lol: Best get a date and venue up asap, we've had interest in a meet a couple of times before but then it just dwindles.
What about at Silverburn?

Silverburn Shopping Centre - It's only 41 miles from me, so it is seems ok [if I have picked out the correct location on Google maps!!!;)], what's the pref., weekends only? Any time is fine by me,
Martin

Hi there.

We have 7 possibles so far.

pab
SimonGodfrey
scooterchick
derekosb
Time Searcher
Wee Man
Microcat36

1st location suggestion is Silverburn Shopping Centre. Any other ideas?
Also, day & date? Probably best with a Sunday (Silverburn is heaving on a Saturday anyway and will only get worse as the big C approaches).

Silverburn is huge and we could probably get away with a meet in a far flung corner of the 4500 space car park. We would need to agree which far flung corner however or we may never find each other?!?!:grouphug:

First to fling a date out then: 11:00 on Sunday 2nd November. Bit of a gas, comparing of our finest, photo opportunities then some lunch and possibly shopping?

Gives us 3 weeks to organise, its after Halloween. The 9th is rememberance day and after that you are getting a little closer to the Christmas crowds.

Comments and thoughts Ladies & Gentlemen?

Derek

How about meeting up at Strathclyde Country Park - off M74 at Motherwell? Nice spot for photos and also there is a Toby Cavery close by.............

Regards

PAB

This would get my vote... don't actually know it but we pass by on our way South/North on the 74 and it always looks good to me...

Cheers,
Martin

Both venues sound good. Out of preference Silverburn would probably suit best (for the benefit of SWMBO ). Time wise afternoon would suit me best. As a suggestion for a date how about Sunday November 23rd, far enough away so that diaries can be sorted, not too close to Christmas so as to avoid the rush?

Is there somewhere to eat nearby if we wanted to go for a meal, as the thing that disappointed me with Silverburn was the lack of places to eat if you did not like sushi and everywhere was mobbed

:p: yeah........... McDonalds, we could make it into a cruise! lol.

I'm with Simon though, Silverburn would be best for the Mrs but Strathy Parks not a bad idea either.

I have been reliably informed by the weans that there is a frankie & bennys at silverburn. And like WeeMan says here always McD's!!
We could organise a 75 parade through the drive thru:getmecoat:

There's also a Brewers Fayre 5 mins drive away, or a chinese 5 mins up the motorway at rouken glen. Silverburn would be my choice too, 10 mins from home, 5 mins (walking) from work.

I'm with the others in saying Silverburn as it is very handy for me as well. There is not actually a McDonalds at Silverburn (Shock!!) but there is a Pizza Hut, Frankie & Bennys, La Tasca (Tapas bar), Nando's (Piri Piri Chicken) and Yo Sushi (Yeughh....). Or if a more basic, Costa Coffee, Starbucks, Tesco Cafe and Marks & Spencer Cafe!!

http://www.silverburn.com/website/De...2-f1d27aec86cc

As Scooterchick says, there is The Hurlet (not sure if it is still a Brewers Fayre as it does not show on their website) nearby plus numerous other options within a 5-10 minute drive.

I think if we leave it until the 23rd of November we will be in amongst the Christmaas Shoppers, even on a Sunday, and parking all of us together would be very difficult.

Who would be available for the 2nd of November?

Derek

:lol: At the moment I've every weekend free! yeehaa

I could maybe be up for it. Depneds on a few other things. Silverburn is about 3 miles from my house so I'll offer my two bob's worth.

The place has the most massive car park I've seen and is almost full to capacity on weekends. The very top end over to the left of the M&S end would be the place to go. In the very begining that part would never see any cars. I park there all the time to stay away from careless sods. It gets about half to 3/4 full now. 10-15 75s could fit in at the top end.

Hope this helps

Cheers
John

well silverburn looks to be favourite venue,well thats where the thread started and dare say will finish.think we should make something concrete .....what about 2nd november and sort out dining arrangements few nights before.lets make it happen.
best regards pab

:p: DINING ARRANGEMENTS!............. It's a Scottish meet, we've all got flasks and pieces ;) .

Speak for yourself, some of us have class.
A chippy and a bottle of Irn Bru will do!!!:D

OK for date & Silverburn for me!!!
Looking at the Google Earth map of the venue, could someone please indicate exactly where the prospective area of the car park is that you are suggesting for the meet?
BTW we have 17 Scottish based members on our 'where are you' map...
Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin

I had a look on Google Maps and it still shows the old Pollock Centre so you can safely ignore that. The new Silverburn car park is all zoned so as I live nearby I will call in tonight on my way home and see what zone the furthest corner is and post that tonight.

So, are we saying Sunday 2nd November at Silverburn (Zone in the car park to be agreed) at say 11:00 am. That gives any member from slightly further afield time to get there. We can all have a natter, admire each other's pride & joy, some photo opps and then perhaps a bite to eat (or flask & sarnies, chippy & Ba Bru) etc...

So please add your name if you can make it:

2nd Nov @ 11:00

1. Derekosb
2. Time Searcher
3. Pab
4. SimonGodfrey
5. Wee Man

All the above have said in their various replies they shoudl be okay for this date. (Please confirm otherwise if you are not btw). Is everyone else available?

Please add your name to the list. Hope to see you all there.

Hi All

The 11:00 time was only a first suggestion and may not suit all, Simon and Scooterchick having already indicated it might be an issue. Alternative time suggetsions eveyone as we are still 2 1/2 weeks away?

I checked out the Car Parks tonight. Rendezvous point should definitely be the furthest corner of the Green Car Park. It is the furthest away from the shops and is by far the quietest. Even on a Sunday it will be quiet so we should have no problems (other than security watching us on the CCTV).

Derek

hi

good work derek,still a few members to come forward yet and may have to shuffle things round to suit.but were on the way
best regards pab

Hi Pab.

I take it you are still okay for the 2nd then?

Come on then, anyone else in Scotland up for the 2nd?

Derek

Anyone going familiar with cleaning plenums? I'm starting to feel like I'm driving the titanic.............

Hi Anna

I have just checked your Whoosh Sloosh post and think that even if there is someone coming who is familiar with how to clean the plenum you should probably not wait another 2 weeks.

You said in an earlier post that you are only a few minutes from Silverburn so I assume I am not too far away from you (G77), (un)fortunately I have never had to clean my plenums yet so don't really know exactly what is involved. Anyone done this on their own car? How easy is it as I would be happy to have a look if it was something I could tackle?

Derek

The whooshy slooshy sound seems to have subsided, I'm guessing cos it hasn't rained since yesterday :confused: however they still need cleaned and I ain't got a clue, other than poking the holes with a wire coat hanger I'm lost........:o oh and I'm G78 so just down the road from you!

Love the Latest Avatar Anna. :D

Now I've learned to do it I'm like a woman posessed! There'll be a new one coming up soon! (Plus I've lost my original one).

I was G78 myself until Feb this year!

Anyway, I suspect it will have subsided a little following your initial attempts to clear the drains when you found them caked in mud. Presumably you have made some holes to allow some water to escape?

My car is a late Mk 1 and when I got it in August (and read all these forum entries forecasting dire consequences if you don't check your plenums??) I checked the upper plenums which were fine. They look totally different to the photos in the how to guide though?

What age is your Tourer? I take it you have the drain tubes type?

I'll have a look tonight and see if I have anything that would make a good plenum clearer. Just leaving the office so will check in later.

Derek

I have 'done' the plenum mod on several 75 / ZTs and would be prepared to do a couple at the meet if requested. I'll bring my tools and some grommets, with some self assistance we could do about 4 in 30 mins or so. Any takers?
Martin

BTW - afternoon meet would suit me best, say 2 p.m....

hi martin
you can check my plenums,not sure myself
regards pab

Hi Martin

That sounds like a good offer as, whilst I was happy to try and help Anna, I have never actually cleaned the plenums so would have been experimenting on someone else's car!! (I would have been very careful Anna, I promise!).

So long as the whooshing is not too bad and the upper plenum is empty I suppose it can wait until the 2nd?

Anyway, it would appear that an afternoon slot is looking more convenient or some.

SimonGodfrey can't make it till 1, Martin is saying 2 and Anna is TBC. I live close by so it is really not a problem for me. Had only suggested a morning slot as thought me might have eaten afterwards.

What is preference: 11:00 am or 2:00 pm?

Derek

Kind sir, I do believe you are the answer to a maidens prayer. I shall get out a knitting needle in the meantime. :D

I'm sure you would have been careful Derek, and I'd would have been happy to have you experiment on my car, however now we can assist a master at work! Wouldn't it be funny if we knew each other!

If you've ever had a big black hearse flash at you it would have been me, apart from 1 other on this forum (in England) I don't know of any other black tourers, so look out for me! :D

If its got to wet in there Anna you will require another Pollen Filter.
Old one will be damp and start to make car smell.

I've noticed. I didn't connect the 2 things. Smelly car and whooshy slooshy noise, I just thought some small rodent had died under the seat, or a bigmac was decomposing..........

I'll def clean it before the meet!

I'll bring a couple of filters too... O.K.?
Martin;)

What a guy!!!!!! Many thanks :oh you:

Would it be prudent to inform the Silverburn Security people that we are meeting in the car park? I shall be bringing my toolbox, drill stand [you'll see why later;)] and a waste bucket to do the Plenum mods. It might be better to warn them that we are a bona fide group and not a 'fly workshop', rather than be ejected.
Martin

2.00 pm would be best for me:chat:

:bowdown: I'd love the mod for the plenums if your taking bookings!. I'll also bring along draining rod I bought and also have reset tool for service/oil light if anyone wants a shot, I'll bring it aswell. :lol:

Hi Wee Man

I take it that means you can make the alternative time of 2:00 pm?

Derek

:lol:Yep, 2pm's fine by me.

New Time

pab

Hi all.

I was at Silverburn today and spotted a poster advertising a monthly "Farmers Market".

Guess where it is held?


The GREEN car park!!

Thankfully it is on the last Sunday of the month so will be the week before our planned meet. Whew.....

Come on all the Scottish members, join in.

Derek

Hi Derek,

Is that your reg n your sig? If so, I've def seen that car about!

Hi Anna,

Yes, that's my plate, only put it on the car a few weeks ago. Used to be on my Vectra (so boring.......) and my wife had it on her Megane before that. (Want to get the smiley D plate as soon as I can).

Well now you will know me if you see my car and as your black tourer seems to be pretty rare I should have no trouble spotting you around!! Will flash my lights if I see you before the 2nd.

Derek

hi derek
your number was regd aug.1983 by bolton bc
you do need the profile plate on the 75.see you all soon
regards pab

We might be able to pop along to this as well, time permitting, cars got its MOT next month and i need to get the numerous faults sorted out on it. :(

Airbag Light
Rough Idling
Knocking sound when turning wheel at slow speeds.

sure members on here will give you advice on your concerns
regards pab

Mass is at 2pm and as my dad died in Jun and is buried there I really have to go to it, so it'll be 3pm roughly before I get there, I reckon yooz'll still be there?

should think so,a few mods to be done on cars.....i should still be there anyway! hope the weather holds up(how boring)
regards pab

Don't forget with the Clocks having changed by then it will be getting Dark up there in Bonny Scotland. :getmecoat:

;) Do you know... it happens at about this time every year... we may just have factored this in :D but thanks for the reminder :)

Still plenty of other Scottish Members out there. Hope to hear from you.

Derek

Not sure if I'll make it as we have visitors coming up from Devon that weekend. Why people want to come from Devon to Glasgow in November is beyond me. I won't say a definite "No" but I'd have to put it at doubtful. Anna, if you're in the Clarkston/ Newton Mearns area it may be my plate you've seen...... J20 CBM.

I've done my plenums but I'm "haunless" and would be even more nervous messing about with someone else's car.

I'll keep my fingers crossed and if I can't make it I hope you all have a great time.

Cheers
John

I will definitely be there, started another weeks treatment yesterday, but the hospital given me the OK for that weekend, so i am looking forward to it.:lol:

Wahey..... looks like there are some plus points to getting auld and daft. Got my weeks mixed up. The visitors are coming up the following week so I should be able to pop down.

Anyway, roll on the second. See you then.

Hi Tom

No apology required, just delighted you can make it along and you can tell us all about the International Meet! Looking forward to meeting everyone. Let's just hope we get decent weather and don't have to run for cover. There is a multi-storey car park but I think it may be a little busy to park 9 Rovers and 2 MGs together!:grouphug:

Derek

Well here we are then a week to go.

Fingers crossed the weather is better than todays or else it will be a regatta instead of a club meet!!

yes lets hope the weather holds up for the meet.looking forward to it,and will give my new camara a go

I'll leave Anna to answer your final point.........

Derek

No thanks re pics, I'm afraid my beauty queen days are over, a kiddie and 4 stone later, things ain't lookin good. :p:

Hi folks,

Great to see like minded people getting together and hope you have a great meet. I'll keep my eyes open for future meetings.

Ooh all excited!!! BTW was anyone travelling through Darnley yesterday? Was sure I seen a plate *20 going past matalan but I was stuck at lights at the Indian and didn't want to give chase.

Hi Anna.

Not me. I was in Stevenston all day (at work, yawnnnn) and came home through Barrhead up the Irvine Road (about 6:45).

It was maybe the other member in the area who posted thinking you had maybe seen his car. His was J20 something was it not?

Anyway, catch up with you on Sunday. You still expecting to be about 3:00?

Derek

Hi all.

Just back from Dinner at Pizza Hut with the wife & kids. Once they are in bed I will get some photos posted.

Excellent to meet everyone and especial thanks to Martin (timesearcher) who went well above and beyond. Top Top man.

We were rather blessed with the weather and hopefully we can do this again, perhaps bigger next time.

Derek

Glad to have met some of the faces that go with the names today, nice bunch of guys (and gal, for the 2 secs when we said Hi). Good weather and some fine looking cars. Sorry I couldn't stay longer. Just got finished painting the bathroom, only the hallway to do now. Hope Martin's ok after his tumble into the bushes. Glad you weren't hurt...... but it was hilarious. I never realised how lucky I was with all the wee toys I got with the car I have. Some really knowledgable people there today.

Til the next time.

John

Scottish All Rover Rally 2009
 

Following the success of this initial gathering, may I suggest members in Scotland start planning a club presence at the 2009 Scottish All Rover Rally?

This will again be at Thirlestane Castle at Lauder, over the weekend of May 23 / 24, with the main static show being held on the Sunday. The 2008 event was a great success, and having a posse of 75s & ZTs would help ensure an even better event in 2009.

Anyone wanting to act as club marshal / organiser can contact the SARR event secretary at [email protected]

Sorry to have missed this as it looks like it was a great day, i was really hacked of as i was looking forward to it, thanks to the staff at SRI, who were great as usual, i am just glad to be home.

Hi Microcat.

It was a shame you couldn't make it, but your health is obvioulsy more important.

Hope you are now doing well, and hopefully we will do this again so you can make the next one!

Derek
