I'll be going in either the B5 RS or the UR 20V maybe even the MK2 16v. Defo not the R32 as I'm doing 3 shows with it this year already
 
Like I said on RS246, if I'm home them I'll be down for this. Won't know until much nearer the time how my schedule will pan out.
 
Iam sorting out a convoy from the central belt to head up to crail that day.

Details below:

Crail opens their gates at 10am but I thought because people are driving from the west or even from the boarders. I thought we make it there after 11am.
For the people that are coming down from the North to Crail we will just meet yours at Crail.

Main Meeting Point – Tesco car park at South Queenferry
· 9.30 – 10am – Everyone meets up Tesco car park
· Just after 10am we head for Crail.
· Should get to Crail after 11am.

There are McDonalds + Burger King around Tesco to get any breakfast. Also at Crail there is one burger van but it’s up to ours. I am taken food when me.

· If anyone has better ideas just say in the comments. Thanks
 
Hopefully still be home as I've got something fancy to bring down (well, will have tomorrow).
 
Yup out with the old and in with the just as old but with a supercharger. Picking the new one up tomorrow.

Take it you have bought a superchargered Rs then? You got any parts off of your one?
 
Supercharged one getting bought tomorrow, and not much left from current/last one (sold it as is). I've holding on to the standard wheels for winters and have a standard exhaust in the shed, but that's about it. Might have the front springs in a box. I also have the Forge oil cooler I bought but never got fitted, which will likely end up for sale soon enough.

That's cool will need to get a meeting sorted out to get a spy!

Give me a shout if you sell oil cooler I ordered a forge one of ebay and it never arrived so had to do a bit more diy to one of my pipes seems to be holding up for now but really would like a new one
 
Nice one Marty, look forward to seeing that, sounds like a beast!!

We'll have to get something sorted for a convoy to Crail, any ideas for a meeting point anyone?

I'm heading to this with the APR/Ecotune boys from the Glasgow area if anyone wants to join in the convoy :)
 
We should get a list started for this, so we have an idea of numbers. And remember guys, it's a spectator event as much as anything else. You don't have to go down the strip or round the drift course or anything if you don't want to.

  1. MartayMcFly - B7 RS4 - Aberdeen convoy
  2. Mikers4 - B7 RS4 - Aberdeen convoy
  3. jedgar - B5 RS4 - ???
  4. J6YAK - 8V S3 - Aberdeen convoy
  5. DavidF92 - 8P A3 - Edinburgh convoy
  6. LiamS3 - 8P S3 - Glasgow convoy
I'm not sure if the Glasgow guys will be coming through via Edinburgh, or all meeting up maybe around Dunfermline?

I'll most likely be there, but unsuare as to whether i'll have the car with me or not...... depends if I still have my wheels or not.

Either way i'll see y'all up there.

There's a younger group meeting up at Asda too, could merge the convoys?

I'll be there with the S3, don't think I'll join any convoys though as I don't know what time I'm leaving yet!
 
Who all went up? Didn't see anyone parked up whose cars I recognised....?? :(

We were up at the furthest away end of the grass.

Good day I thought! Nice to see Crail busy again :)
 
Day report - we all went up with varied results. A few head to heads decided more by the guy taking forever to start the tree, or by certain people forgetting to turn off their ESP. The main event was a comfortable win for VAG in all categories, including my trophy for fastest VAG/Ford over 2l (decided just before the REVO RS6 beat my best time by almost half a second!). I don't think there were many photos, and no real stand to speak of as most of the time there was only 2 or 3 of us not in the queue for the strip.

It was a great day though, with a mixture of cars from stripped out Saxo and a Ka with nothing in it but a 2l Zetec, up to an 11s Skyline and fully plastidipped 700bhp R8.

Revo Steve has a good album on his fb page, with a good selection of photos of the day. Here's a couple he had of mine, my 97k clutch was protesting off the line. Had to roll it off the line before nailing it through the rest of the gears. Great day though.
