Welcome Vagabond

I've just picked up an 06 plate in tornado red, and I'm also in Glasgow :cool:

If I see an 06 plate in candy white I'll be sure to give them a nod  :wink:

cheers guys, thought i'd take the car for a blast today as the sun was out,  my first proper drive in dry weather :cool:  Glasgow-lochl lomond-colintraive, caught the ferry to rothesay then rothesay ferry-wemyss bay and back home, superb empty roads in stunning scenerey :grin: The car was totally filthy at the end, naturally i have now restored it to it's gleaming white again. It's already had a coat of meguiars NXT and a coat of meguiars carnauba wax so the dirt just rinses off. Smashing  :grin:

I'm from Fort William and so have driven the Loch Lomond road hunners of times on visits back North.  I'm really looking forward to driving home for a few days at Christmas.   :grin: :grin:

Lucky man, Lochaber is superb for driving, just watch for the cops! i got done a few months ago in ochil, driving at 58 mph in a 40. 8.30 on a saturday night, quiet roads and it was an unmarked car. That A82 is superb just need to keep an eye out  :shocked:

Well not so lucky really - cos I stay in Glasgow, so not much country road driving for me these days.  Still, it's good to visit the family.  I have a feeling they'll be seeing quite a lot of me over the next wee while  :wink: :smiley:

Sounds good.  What sort of thing do people do on a meet?  I'm not volunteering for a burn-out or anything  :tongue:

could do anything...in the TT club, they often meet up to go for a drive over some decent roads and head off to a restaurant or something for a bite to eat, etc

a rolling road day at Star Performance , Kirkcaldy is usually popular as well!
