Pre Christmas Scotland 480 meet

Post by mac star » Wed Oct 12, 2005 10:02 am

As i am new to all of this and have met Rohan by chance on a forecourt in Hamilton, I would like very much to get to know the rest of you fine peoples.

Either we try to arrange a meeting where we could all get together and enjoy a bloody good night out somewhere, or as i travel the lenght and breath of Scotland with my work then maybe we could meet in your towns ofr tea/coffee/jack daniels ??

what are your thougts ??

ps. I would be in the 1990 red turbo as the 1993 black s doesnt like me very much at the moment

Well, i met Ally today to drop off his lovely new armrest and we were discussing having a not really car based big piss up!
i'm always up for Jack Daniels and i know Rohan likes a drink too so you can prob count him in!
Sal will go cos Ally is going and i'll guilt trip Roo into coming down from Aberdeen!

Big question is when and where? :D

Sorry Roo, but doesn't Edinburgh or Glasgow make more sense as they're easier for the majority of us to get to. We could all chip in and buy you a train ticket, but half a dozen folk all heading to "Planet Granite" would burn a fair old amount of petrol... :dunno:

Yeah i know, it makes sense for me to head south. would be nice to see some 480's up here one day though, ones that would actually return a wave. :D

I'll have you know i was very busy today! So busy in fact, i had to get up before noon. :D

It must be 480 snobbery, cos i've got a white 480!

I'm holidaying at the end of this month for a week and busy 30th nov to 4th Dec. apart from that i'm free!
