Borders sounds good, maybe St Marys Loch for a wee BBQ one saturday then ?

I took the wife and kids down to St Marys loch on Sunday, its a nice place to be and quite a nice road too (from Moffat). Have been working down there for a couple of weeks and its really quite nice. They do a nice panini in the Glen Cafe there too!.

Would make some nice pic opps too with the loch as a back drop.

Top idea Mike, you can lead the way!

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 14:50

Glen Cafe is ace for Breakfast !

MudPuppy · 21-05-2008, 15:01

Mudpuppy likes both those plans

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 15:03

Excellent Kay.

We'll get something sorted soon then.

Dmac1969 · 21-05-2008, 15:44

Kay , thanks for the compliment RE the car , it actually looks better than that in the metal , that piccy was taken on my fone and hosted remotely - loses some of the shine lol!

Wet Kipper · 21-05-2008, 18:54

plus you're always welcome to try your hand at some of the West Lothian back-roads I enjoy on my ways to/from work each day.

Dmac1969 · 21-05-2008, 19:10

Also , on Sunday 1st June the BVAC (Borders Vintage Automobile Club) are having their annual show at Thirlstane Castle , Lauder. Its a decent show which I have attended every year for well over 10 years now , it used to be held at Mellerstain House near Kelso. Theres going to be one of the James Bond DB5s out of Goldfinger there this year apparently. The website is here for anyone wanting further info Thirlestane Castle Rally-2008 , dont worry about the word 'vintage' , there are plenty of cars up to and including 80s stuff on show usually. This might be a good run out for you Edinburgh boys n girls?

Davy

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 22:21

I'll double check in the morning.

Skodaboy1983 · 21-05-2008, 22:26

I know I'm working the next morning but nothing like a ahem sick day the following morning can't solve as because I'm rarely off they will beleive it!

skodagirl1985 · 21-05-2008, 22:31

MudPuppy · 21-05-2008, 22:55

3rd June should be OK for me; I sure I can work Something out

As for the do at Thirlestane Castle, I'll be away that weekend down at Croft for the BTCC, but it sounds like a good show to go to.

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 22:58

And if i can make it, i'll make sure the car is clean, unlike tonight.

Johnny50 · 21-05-2008, 23:04

True

Skodaboy1983 · 31-05-2008, 21:28

Is the wee borders run still happening on Tuesday night??

Davy

mikeSM56 · 01-06-2008, 00:03

Either. We go for a run. Or I fit Johnny's splitter on Tuesday I'm easy either way (You may have heard that about me)

Discuss it amongst yourselves and let me Know the outcome.

Skodaboy1983 · 01-06-2008, 08:29

No worries Mike,

Not sure if I can make it as Hannah is moving into her new pad on tuesday night as well so it all depends if it all goes to plan but if the other guys want to discuss it.

I know Kay won't be back till Monday as she is down in croft as we speak.

I'm 50/50 at the mo!

Skodaboy1983 · 01-06-2008, 08:31

See if you fit Johnny's splitter on tuesday Mike, is it possible you can help me remove my sidelight bulbs so I can stick the old ones back in for the MOT!

I used to attend this when it was at Mellerstain every year with the Edinburgh MG Club.

Nice to see the weather is staying tru to form - was always a wet show

skodagirl1985 · 01-06-2008, 16:22

How about the boreders run on a Saturday, or sunday when people are free. Make a day of it. Take a picnic or a bbq. I'm happy to cook a bbq if we all bring some grub. Don't know if a idea. Not sure what people think.
I'd like to go on tuesday but think it could be a push with having move into my new tempory room on tuesday.
