Hi Neil
Its all gone very quiet regarding a North of the border meet.
How about the Two Bridges in Queensferry some Sunday lunchtime. Good carpark and great place to take photographs of scorpio lineup.

Hi Neil
South side, half way between the two bridges. My time is also flexible now I sign myself as: -
Project Manager (retired)
Big Game and specimen Trout & Salmon collector.
Good beer as well.
Scimitar club meets first Tuesday of the month so they are used to oddballs

Hi Stuart
I hope you are not suggesting that my car is not capable of travelling 4 miles.
I will have you know that both my cars will do a 4 mile trip with a fair chance of arriving.
And of course my back up is the bus pass.
See you soon
Alastair

Ah that,s what the two brigs are ,see where your coming from stuart , no wonder ali suggested it, a borders meet?,no probs from me ali as long as there is somewhere to drop the girls off for their shopping, is auld reekie convenient?. andrew,s suggestion of the glasgow transport museum seemed to be just as convenient, we will wait and see what the response is.

Alastair, hopefully your days of not making 4 miles are over for a while
I'm easy, anywhere suits me although I havent been to the transport museum for probably 20 plus years now

Now you're talking. South Queensferry is just right for me. Less than half a mile to travel and all the comforts of home... perfect.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for the date of the meet.

Wouldn't be far for me either, just a couple of miles over the Forth Road bridge Another suggestion would be the small car museum at Boness.
Cheers Jim
