NOVEMBER SCOTTISH MEET - Sun 21st @ 13:00
LOCH LOMOND SHORES - SUNDAY 21st NOVEMBER 2010
Please be aware this is not an official 75 & ZT Owners Club meet and as such is not covered by the clubs public liability insurance. Also the owners club take no responsibility for the meet in any way http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/q...ondShoresA.jpghttp://i440.photobucket.com/albums/q...Shoreslogo.jpg The return to Loch Lomond is go!! http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/q...omond5610a.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:} http://www.lochlomondshores.com/index.htm Loch Lomond Shores is also on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...s/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/foru...+Scottish+Meet From the earlier discussion thread (see here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=70940 ) we already have some names so I will start the list with those names as follows: Sunday 21st November 2010 at 13:00 1.

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 21st. Derek http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion-boards.jpg |
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.. |
please put me and annmarie down for the trip derek , and i promise not to overtake the convoy at ANY stage LOL.
FLYER. |

Quote:
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. I'll keep an eye out for your news as I am sure you will be updating FB when baby arrives:D L ~~ A ~~ B ~~ O ~~ U ~~ R ~~ ~~ V ~~ I ~~ B ~~ E ~~ S ~~~~~:D:D:D Derek . |

Excellent my friend, just don't bring the rain this year eh!!:p: I'll add you to the list in the 1st post. Derek |
Thanks Derek,always look forward to my excursions north.The pictures on the first thread,i will settle for,or i shall have you under trade descriptions!:D:D
|
The wife and I had a pot of tea and a scone in the cafe' not the cheapest at £7.00 a head..but there is a mcdonalds on site
|
Sorry Derek , this season I am not available on Sundays, unless the weather is bad and Football is cancelled.
Hope the weather is kind, unless it can be bad in the east and hopefully fine in the west for your meet. I wont be able to come Ally |
Quote:
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 |

Looks like I'm back in the world of ZT's following selling my Trophy Blue ZT in January.
I pick up the Trophy Yella on Friday so I'll try and make it to Loch Lomond on 21st. No doubt I'll find a reason to take it a run on the 21st! He who was GL3NN, now Yella Fella |

Derek, Just a maybe at this point. I have nothing planned for the 21st but as soon as I mention it, the wife will say, "ah, I thought we could . . . "
IDEA! Maybe bring her and she could go into the shops! I'll let you know asap. http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2739/yellowzt.jpg |

the one your buying isnt by chance a 1.8T facelift ZT with about 23,000 miles on the clock is it. i remember there is a guy in Greenock i think who was selling a lovely example.. Martin |
Quote:
The shops are fab at Loch Lomond, your wife will get loads of Xmas shopping done. Hopefully see you there if I manage to give birth soon! :D |
Quote:
Derek |
Derek, yep thats the one...
Martin |
Quote:
As per Glenn's original question in that thread there are not too many Trophy Yellow ZT's about. Looks in fantastic condition and look forward to seeing it on the 21st! Glenn, as Scooterchick suggests, just say you are taking her shopping!:} Derek |
will definitely stand out in the photos..

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

Quote:
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? |
Quote:

Quote:
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.. |
Quote:
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. Quote:

:bowdown: Martin |
Quote:
No worries, my wife always tells me I need a little nudge (well actually kick) to get things done. Thinking about a convoy now as there are only 6 days to go. Who is up for the Asda Dumbarton car park again? Derek |
me !! Me !!? ME !!!l lol.
|
Quote:
Martin |
Quote:

Quote:
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. Who's up for it? Derek |
Quote:
|
Quote:
I noticed you said that in your first post so will see you there. Yes, I have spoken with Clare at Lomond Shores who has again offered us the overflow car park, so same place (assuming you can remember where??:p:) Looking forward to seeing you again on Sunday. Derek |
Quote:
|
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 ;) |
Quote:
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. |

Cheers Jim |
Quote:
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. Quote:
What time and route are you coming North? Derek |
Quote:
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 |
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 |

Last time FLYER met the guys coming north at Happendon and then Hillington. Are you North or South of Happendon?:} Derek |
IIRC its Shotts....
Martin |
Quote:
as martin said mate, shotts. 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 |
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.

If we get some convoys sorted out I'll be tail end charlie on one of them with my camcorder if you want - worked well last Sunday at Bruntingthorpe Cheers Jim |
what was that noise in the background jimbo, was it jean driving your petrol tanker . Lol.

Quote:
Ho Ho Ho - actually managed to do the 254 miles for the round trip plus parade lap and fast run on a tankful! Mind you I'll need two tankfulls for this Sunday. Cheers Jim |

Quote:
I assume you will not be part of the convoys? Quote:
12:30 was the plan for Asda Dumbarton so that would be fine. Pab has already confirmed he will meet us there. Quote:
Is 12:30 at Asda okay for you too mate? Quote:
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 |
Convoy
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 |
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.
|
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. Martin |
one more meet for the green machine would be good martin..
12.30 at the asda in dumbarton suits me too. |
