If anyone wants any bringing up let me know.
Thanks

Default HUGE "thank you" to Pinnacle wax & SNG Barratt

I'd just like to express my grattitude on behalf of all to some outstanding forum vendors.

Both Pinnacle Wax and SNG Barratt have stepped up to the plate and provided some great giveaways for members at the forthcoming UK forum meet event

Pinnacle Wax have very kindly donated a very generous $50 gift voucher...



SNG Barratt have put together a nice little goodie bag, comprising an SNG Barratt bag, brochures, glovebox wipe, pen and a XKR poster ( one for everyone who attends )



Thanks to both for their very kind generosity, appreciated by all

It's less than



hours to go.

As the rains runs steadily off my car in Durham today, I'm really looking forward to sunbathing in Glasgow tomorrow.

Hi all,
one space for the tour opened up last minute as Rabbieboy cannot attend due to last minute car trouble

If you know of anyone that wants to take the place please let me know ASAP so it doesn't go to waste.

Thanks

Directions to Mackies Transmissions 10am
From M74 take jctn 2A and head for City Centre, just off the roundabout there is a set of traffic lights near STERLING, Turn right into Causewayside street and Mackies is around 500 yards on the right.
95 Causewayside st, Tollcross, Glasgow G32 8LT


Mackies to Innkeepers Lodge / Toby Carvery ( Around 6.4 miles and 10 minutes driving )
Exit Mackies and head back to the M74, head for Carlisle. Once on the M74 take jctn 5 ( A725 ) after the services and head for Strathclyde Park ( just off the roundabout )
Innkeepers Lodge is immediately on your right
Strathclyde Country Park, Hamilton Road, Motherwell ML1 3WB
I've spoken with the Manager at Toby Carvery and organised the use of the overflow car park at the rear. This is shared between themselves and Holiday Inn Express, should be room for around 30 cars and is seldom used so will be good for our needs.

Note - Anyone NOT coming on the factory tour is more than welcome to attend at Strathclyde Park for the meet event.
