Hopefully we'll be able to come to the next one too. I'll keep my eyes pealed for the details.

Cheers

Seconded! It was actually a force 10 that was blowing if you went up onto the dam itself.... There was foam breaking off the waves it was that windy!

Look forward to seeing you at next meet

I havent asked but i dont think they will mind but My mates on another forum (cliosport.net) are trying to arrange a rolling road/dyno day sometime in october. the proposed facilities are dashfixer in glasgow, falkland performance in glenrothese and extreme performance in whitburn. So far the favourites are the one in glasgow and whitburn (I broke the rollers at falkland the last time i was there in the citroen and ive been told the set up is antiquated) both of these can do 4wd if you have one. Prices will be about £30-35 for per car and you get a nice print out to either boast about or cry over, prices will be lower if more go were hoping for about 20-30 cars.
Dont let first impressions of the forum fool you they are all car guys not just posers and neds, and its not all clios, in fact of the scottish lot i'd day 95% dont have clios any more lol Just a bunch of nice guys who like road going weapons.
But if any one is interested to see how much their Ovlov is running, let me know and i'll add your name to the list over on CS.

Didn't I see a post from Dunc somewhere, about September 26th, which I think is when you have your "naughty Volvo day"???!

Don't remember a venue being mentioned though.....

not sure of the timings for the naughty track day - could maybe make both - depends on timings and location etc of course.

Maybe the Naughty Volvo people wouldn't mind spectators - you could come to Ingliston !

Now that would be interesting - and one way that they are at least guaranteed that Volvo owners show up!!!!
