Been a while since I've been to a classic car show. I'll need to see if I can make this. I'll be the one looking critically at your polishing job

billy_i_vtec

you can give me a hand!

Beardie

Don't do much polishing these days. I have children for that

What time's the kick-off?

billy_i_vtec

think it's open from around 9am - last year folk started turning up from about 10pm i think - i got sunburn last year - i'll have my emergency suntan lotion this year just incase - last year these two police were wandering around and they offered some suntan lotion to me but I declined - as you do - wished i'd taken it later

those two police were very friendly actually - kept coming over to ask questions about the CTR that I had at the time - one of them said he was gonna buy one.

I might be there Billy. I wonder whether Asam (from CTR forum) is keen to go as well.

Iain .. u going then ?

Beardie

As long as it ain't pissing down I'll be there.
Want to meet up?

Rocephin

Aye .. where ?

Rocephin

With the recent monsoon season we 've been experiencing, i'm not sure what constitutes pissing anymore. Raincheck defo needed.

If weather is gonna be crap, not much point going.

fingers crossed though.

Vince, how about Hairmyres carpark, just outside casualty?
Shatlerro is only 4 miles or so from there.
