Exclamation Annual Meet - the hollow mountain

After today's final pre-visit to the Annual Meet route, (more from David later) we have another 'attraction' en route for Saturday's tour:

www.visitcruachan.co.uk

We've booked 2 tours (each lasting 30 minutes) at a special rate of £5 per head.

But we must confirm numbers ASAP.

Please let me know on this thread if you want to visit the 'hollow mountain' (it's a tour in a mini bus right into the hollowed out mountain where the power station is housed) and, if we can get numbers confirmed no later than Thursday 15 May, then I'll get it all sorted.

For those that don't want to take this tour, we have other free 'attractions' in store, so you won't have to hang around waiting for those that do.

As my trip is still uncertain I would say no, but if I get there I would go. I may actually go to Glasgow on Thursday, do a gearbox service @ Mackies, stay over night, wait for the train of 8s from South/London area and join the near Glasgow.

But, now after incident this morning I defo need a respray the car, most of it as planned anyway, do full suspension replacement at the front due to teh dry ball joint sound just for the sake of it, gearbox service of course, wheel refurb cos just the one which got damaged this morning would just look shajt
A lot to ask in less than 5 weeks.

I wouldn't go in so scratched car there, it would be an embarrassment !!!!!
Plus I will be pushing the car on the bendy roads so gearbox is a must same as the suspension.

I had a bump on the way to my first meet and arrived with a broken rear light cluster and a dent in the wing!

Luckily. I'd got in touch with A8 Parts on the way down, and Dave called into the unit on the way, picked up a light cluster and fitted it for me at the meet!

So scratched and bent cars are still welcome.
