The return to Loch Lomond is go!!

http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq129/derekosb/loch_lomond5610a.jpg

After a bit of debate over choice of venue for the November meet the return to Loch Lomond Shores is on. Let's just hope we get a little bit better weather than last year, but just as good a turnout:}

Loch Lomond Shores is also on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=347368004225&set=a.347367999225.156496.343602394225#!/pages/Balloch-United-Kingdom/Loch-Lomond-Shores/343602394225

As with last year's meet I have arranged for use of the overspill car park so we will all be able to park together:}. Although this year I think I might try and organise the parking a little better as we were somewhat "all over the shop" which made getting decent photographs quite difficult.:p::p:

I have suggested 13:00 meeting time so we have some daylight to pore over everyone's car and then move up to the shops for the Farmer's Market, Santa's Grotto, Radio Roadshow (from 2pm) and Xmas lights switch on (at 5pm).

For details of last year's meet (for anyone that did not make it) please see here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=46273&highlight=November+Scottish+Meet

Apologies for what is now relatively short notice (just over 2 weeks away) but hopefully we can get a decent turnout again this year.:}

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 21st.

The rain did spoil the meet last year,let's hope for decent weather

The turnout I think was the biggest Scottish meet,can you remember the numbers Derek?

A convoy from Dumbarton again would be good..

[FLYER]

we totalled 24 cars last year which remains the largest Scottish Meet to date (although Cambo ran it close). I'll look at convoys next week but I agree with the thought of running up from Dumbarton again (Asda IIRC).

please put me and annmarie down for the trip derek , and i promise not to overtake the convoy at ANY stage LOL.

FLYER.

No problem George and look forward to seeing you both again, and belated congratulations on your nuptials!:D

Hi Anna,

Fingers crossed for you as I know you have been suffering a fair bit of "discomfort" of late. Sooner rather than later as far as you are concerned I'm sure.

Ally

Hi Ally,

Thanks for confirming. This falls under the old adage of "can't please everyone" I am afraid:o. I knew from your initial reply to my PM that sundays did not suit but the following Saturday venue I had checked out was proving unlikely to be suitable and members were keen to return to Loch Lomond.

So apologies this does not suit and as always,hope to catch you at the next one.

Derek

[FredSpencer]

Hi Barrie,

Happy to add you mate and look forward to seeing you again this year.

I've also added MGStephen, another attendee from last year, as a possible whilst he checks if he is working or not.

Anymore for anymore guys (and gals)??

Derek

[derekosb]

Hi there,

I had the car serviced yesterday (thanks Simondi for the recommendation) bu they were unable to re-set the service indicator.

Does anyone coming to the meet have a reset tool they could bring?? Would be much appreciated, thanks.

Derek

[Simondi]

I hope the service went OK. I always worry when I recomend something:)

[Yella Fella]

Just to add glenn your looks stunning :}

Thanks AldoR.

I pick it up tonight. :} Then I'll spend all day Saturday cleaning it, then polishing it, then waxing it then looking at it, them making a wish list LOL.

What do the MG7 lights look like? Any pics?

What do the MG7 lights look like? Any pics?looking forward to seeing this car..what interior does it have?

aldo has the rear light clusters fitted to his car along with a host of other tasty mods..wonder if i can get a shot in it this time..

[derekosb]

I hope the service went OK. I always worry when I recomend something:)

Hi Simon,

No worries, seemed pretty good although there is a bit of work still needed but their pricing is not too bad and they are fairly convenient for me. I need to book it back in soon for discs and pads. The brake pad sensor wire is worn and I need rear discs. They have quoted me £216 to supply rear discs and pads and a new sensor wire. Need a track rod end which thye have quoted £53 to supply & fit. Need tyres too but I'll check the price of a wheel package before I decide.

i usually have a reset tool at the meets,not a problem derek..

Excellent Paul, many thanks.:bowdown:

As Paul says, AldoR has them, so does Kieranswood so there should be 2 cars at the meet.

Right, so you are coming up the same as last year from Coalburn.

in which case, if MGStephen confirms we may be able to get you a convoy with Suzublu and J1MBO coming up from England and picking up MGStephen en-route.

the asda at dumbarton is fine with me derek..

if i remember correctly leading the convoy was tazman 3,why i mention this was we passed through an industrial estate,probably the quickest and shortest route.any chance of a more scenic route this time?

oh and martin i'm not complaining about your choice of logistics ;)

There wasnt an industrial estate paul! Must have been a different meet, there is only one way from the asda to balloch along the A82.

Unless we could always go the Helensburgh route then over the back through to balloch however there is some traffic lights in cardross at the moment.

Sounds good to me Derek if it can be organised - like convoys, was part of one yesterday from Walsall to Bruntingthorpe ended up in excess of 30 cars a good number of them being V8's.

Cheers
Jim

[derekosb]

Hi George,

Naw, pab did not meet us at the Burger King as he is North of the river and met us at the Dumbarton Asda.

Myself, Scooterchick, Weeman and peg99 met you and 2Diesels, GRAHAM1961 and Suzublu at the Burger King before heading over the Erskine Bridge to Dumbarton.

Hi Jim,

What time and route are you coming North?

Derek

[J1MBO]

Hi Jim,

What time and route are you coming North?

Derek


Hi Derek

Intended to leave at about 0700, as I've got a family meal on the Saturday night, would have thought that would give me enough time to arrive circa 1300 after a couple of stops for food and watering - me and the car lol.

As to route that'd be down to a BMW mk4 - but would have thought M6, A74M, M74, M8 over Glasgow, M898, Erskine bridge, A82 and up to Loch Lomond, it's years since I've been in that area so any advice is welcomed.

Regards
Jim

[lady zed]

I think Pab's thinking of the snowdrops, I seem to remember tazman and myself getting left behind at an industrial estate iirc.

Anyway, I don't think I'll make it on Sun :( baby Johnston is rather comfortable and doesn't appear to be in any hurry to join the big bad world, and who can blame him! Told him this morning I'm fed up carting him around and would much rather be pushing him now, but I don't think he was listening.

Have a great one :D

[francoh20]

hi Deric.

I could probably be sat at say larkhall. and be in phone contact with flyer and join the motorway just as they pass then join tail end of convoy.:D

[Tam]

Hi Derek i'm still huffing as l.lomond is the furthest of the 3 options from me :D:D ;) but i have got the green light from SWMBO so as long as the weather is fine me and Lewis will be there just have to be back home sharpish as it's school the next day so hope the fireworks are not delayed cheers Tam.

IIRC the Fireworks were about 5:30 last year they were delayed by about half hour but that was due to the bad rain we had that day...

Hi, thanks for confirming and sounds like a good idea. Were you thinking of the slip road at the A72 and waiting for a signal from Flyer to join?



Hi Derek i'm still huffing as l.lomond is the furthest of the 3 options from me :D:D ;) but i have got the green light from SWMBO so as long as the weather is fine me and Lewis will be there just have to be back home sharpish as it's school the next day so hope the fireworks are not delayed cheers Tam.

Hi Tam, glad you can make it and sorry it was the farthest but it proved the most popular choice. As Martin said the fireworks were delayed last year due to the rain. I am told they are scheduled for 4:30/5:00 so hopefully you can catch them. I'll update my list and hopefullt see you on Sunday.

I assume you will not be part of the convoys?

If anyone wants to meet at asda dumbarton i can be there around 1230pm:}

Hi Aldo,

12:30 was the plan for Asda Dumbarton so that would be fine. Pab has already confirmed he will meet us there.

I think derek is sorting out some convoys Aldo...

Martin

Hi Martin,

Is 12:30 at Asda okay for you too mate?

Derek

Cheers
Jim

Sounds good Jim.

I think you would need to be aiming for Happendon Services for 11:00 to meet up with Flyer, collecting Rotrex en-route at Larkhall.

I would hope we can get suzublu (Ronnie) to meet you somewhere before that for the run up the M74 to Happendon. Ronnie, are you up for that?

I'll post a seperate summary for the convoy shortly.

15 cars so far with a couple of possible additions. Any more for any more?:}

Derek

[derekosb]

Hi guys,

As you can see from earlier posts I have been setting up a few small convoys.

Northbound

J1MBO and Suzublu are coming up from England via the M74. I am hoping they will be able to meet up with Flyer at Happendon Services at 11:00 and then pick up Rotrex as they pass Larkhall about 11:15.

From there you will join the M8, head across the Erskine Bridge to rendezvous with the West Convoy for 12:30

West

Myself, pab, AldoR and hopefully Tazman3 will meet at the Asda car park on the main road through Dumbarton at about 12:30. To be joined by J1MBO, suzublu, Flyer and Rotrex before heading up to Lomond Shores.

For those not mentioned, what do you all want to do?

Simondi - I know you are coming slightly later.:p:
Tim_Burgess - Going direct.:cool:
Barrienixon - I assume as you are so close to the venue you will see us there but you can let me know if you want to meet before.:cool:

Yella Fella: Not sure where you are coming from Glenn so let me know if you can join us and if so where?:}

Thomas: What about yourself?:}
Brigus and Tammyboy, as you 2 are coming south let me know what, if anything you are planning?

Thanks everyone.

Derek

[Tam]

Hi Derek no worries i no its a good venue and popular thats not allways easy to find so understandable that people want to return. Scott is travelling down from Aberdeen on the sat. so will be on my own i guess. Think my route is down to Stirling then cut across if it fits in with anyone cheers Tam.

[tazman3]

Derek 12:30 is fine for me....

I will come in the ZT if its around but hoping to get the wife to bring the Alfa also.

Ill be using the M73 so since there are a few coming from the south and using the M73, I can wait on the sliproad (100m before the iron horse) where the M73 swings around and joins the M8 to Glasgow. Its a nice long sliproad and I should be able to sit there no problem. When I see you pass, I'll simply join the M8 and catch up and fall in behind you on the M8. If you are passing Larkhall about 1115 hrs, you should pass me about 1120 - 1125hrs assuming you are all on time. If I think I have missed you or whatever, Ill go direct to Lonond Shores so carry on, dont wait for me.

the last meet I was at (Falkirk nil:laughing2:, sorry Falkirk Wheel) you raised a Rover flag.

I bought an MG flag from a MG delaer to take to car shows next year for my F and TF group. It has all the Zed's mentioned, and the MG logo. I have no flagpole, as the intention was to drape the car with the flag.

Do you want me to bring it along?

[Kirst]

We would have loved to come but Carls at work on Saturday night and I have a dress fitting on Monday afternoon so wouldnt be back in time as it's a 5 hour drive, plus I cant get my elbow delt with so I cant drive far

Hi Glenn, that would be great if you don't mind. GRAHAM1961 has a large Rover flag and if he manages to get off work will hopefully bring that too.

The one at Falkirk was Stocktakes from the Round Britain Relay and eventually made it back down to him:o

Hi Kirst,

It would have been nice to meet you and Carl but I understand. Maybe next time if we are far enough South. There may be an Anglo/Scottish Meet near the border again as well which might suit you?

Anyway, re the flag. I was home early and realised I had an extension pole in the shed, a big extension pole! so I poped into the parasol base and hey presto! a flag pole!

Hi David,

Be delighted to. Welcome to the club by the way as I have not seen you post as yet. (Okay, I just checked your previous posts and saw you were on the Gretna thread so apologies, I am slipping....)

Whereabouts (roughly) in Glasgow are you? (i.e. are you up for joining the convoy?)

Derek

[Yella Fella]

Excellent Glenn. Will you manage to bring it along then??:bowdown:

Yes, I'll get the poles in through the Ski hatch. We just need a slight wind!

[derekosb]

Yes, I'll get the poles in through the Ski hatch. We just need a slight wind!

The problem is we are likely to get a bit more than a "slight" wind....:(

It will need some weighting down no doubt or can it be secured under one of the cars (or maybe tied to the gates at the entrance to the car park?).

Look forward to seeing your new car on Sunday anyway.:sunny::sunny::cool2:

Let's hope it brings out the sun...

[J1MBO]

Washed the car yesterday, polished it today and it's just started raining - bother - mind you going out in about an hour for a family get together so the chances of it staying clean are rather slim.

See you tomorrow, should be able to make Happendon by 1100, if not then try for Asda Dumbarton by 1230.

Cheers

Hi George,

Correct mate, with the possible addition of Suzublu if has made Happendon by 11:00 (although he has said do not wait for him).

Rotrex should join you at the Larkhall junction and Yella Fella (be careful, you may not see him!!:D) when you join the M8.

Everyone else that is convoying will see you at the Asda car park in Dumbarton for 12:30

Asda Supermarket
St James Retail Park
Glasgow
G82 1RB

We will then head up to Loch Lomond Shores for approx 13:00 and use the overspill car park (on the right before the main car park areas).

17 cars with 2 possibles.

Anyone else up for the meet please let me know and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Derek

[pab]

Totally agree with those comments great day, but as usual to much gassing meant I didn't get to chat with all - sorry about that hopefully will get up again soon.

Didn't bring the laptop so will not be able to post any pictures until tomorrow evening, not sure if the convoy video will be up to much - flyer and me got stuck at a set of lights and lost the rest.

Hi guys,

Firstly my thanks to everyone that made the effort and turned up today. To those that were unable to get the day off work hope you can make the next one.:}

Special mention to J1MBO and suzublu (plus special guest Fred Spencer) for their dedication and effort in getting there. Tammyboy as well as he had a long drive too (particularly when you get a little lost Tam!!:p:).

Good to see everyone again as well as meeting Rotrex and Dave5000. Good to see Glenn back in the fold and your Trophy Yellow is gorgeous.

Special thanks to Thomas for resetting my service meter, as well as pab and Tim who also offered.

Glad everyone had a good day and the weather was much kinder to us.

I'll upload some photos as soon as I can. Oh and George I'll enjoy your stovies tomorrow night.
