Re: Ingliston Revival/Trackday 11-13th Septermber

Being of a certain age, I have great memories of watching racing at Ingliston. Gerry Birrell, John Fyda, Bill Dyden - imps, minis, escorts and even Mustangs. Looks like a top event, our own wee Goodwood?

Thule Roof Rack

I have a set of Thule 784 fittings and square bars (length 170cm) that I used on my 5 series touring. As the new 3 series uses a different rail system and width these are now surplus to requirements.

£30 or a bottle of The Glenlivet........

Cheers

Re: Chris Harris - Pay per view

I'm in, I like the production quality and £2/month is not a big risk. Not sure if I'd fork out for Top Gear though?

Re: Zandvoort

Robin

Think I should be OK:
- the GT3 is dry-dumped

- I drive like "Driving Miss Daisy"

I'll have a word about the grammar and spelling, its costing them £££ in lost bookings!

Zandvoort

Just booked this as I've always fancied Zandvoort. Lots of history and an interesting combination of elevation and corners.

Anyone else on here thinking of it?

Where was everyone yesterday?

With a fair day forecast and no chores to do at home, I took the Elise out for a post-winter blast. Left Edinburgh at 8:30 and headed north, stopping for coffee and a bacon roll at Peggy Scott's at Finavon. Headed to Fettercairn and over the Cairn O'Mount to Banchory then on to Dyce and out the A947...

Re: SE book club

I'm sure I'm not alone in my view that Mr Banks did a great job of combining several of my passions in "Raw Spirit" - Whisky, cars and, in his words, "Great Wee Roads". You'll likely be needing a dram when you read it. Off in another direction, I've enjoyed the novels of Philip Kerr - start with Ber...

Re: £8 million collection of Bugatti Veyrons storms London

Managed to sneak out of the office for a few minutes - awesome sight, goodness knows the value of what was parked. It was like having the Schlumpf collection parked at St Giles! http://imageshack.us/a/img833/20/7ngb.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img191/8289/d2eq.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img841/5108/u...

Re: £8 million collection of Bugatti Veyrons storms London

Closer to home - the Bugatti Owners' Club has a rally in the borders next week (http://www.prescott-hillclimb.com/uploa ... ay2011.pdf)

Might be worth a wee look when they park up on the High St in Edinburgh on the 19th?
