Scottish area meet?

[tomd]

Being new to the club, I forwarded "E-mail" to Ed Strachan's address both via the club site and directly to his own address, As yet no reply, Is Ed on holiday, or has his P.C. gone down the tubes, leaving him out of contact? bottom line is that can anyone update me re any meetings or proposed events for 2006? I'd like to know, to start planning next years calendar, Many thanks, TomD

Hi TomD,

I would also like to chip in for info regarding the Scottish cobra scene. Is there a Scottish scene? There must be a few Scottish cobra enthusiasts on here ???

I don't have a cobra yet . still at the early stages of a pilgrim build . (donor parts refurbished and engine rebuild ongoing:thumb: ).

This is a shout for any scottish members to make yourself known and spread the word if there is any scottish cobra activity going on in 2006

Hi Jim,
Welcome to the club!
The Scottish Regional meetings are held at various venues on the 2nd Sunday of every second month. I personally haven't been to any yet due to other commitments and not having my car on the road yet.
The person to contact is Ed Strachan. Tel 01828 650530 or E-mail ed.strachan@virgin.net
Having read the newsletters there are various runs/outings organised which appear to be well attended.
I see you hail from Aberdeen, at least you won't have far to go when it comes to the SVA!

Hi there "Bluetoon" & "Clive", Reference "Meetings" for 2006, A good guide for possible meetings here in Scotland is the "Scottish Veteran & Vintage Year Book", this basically covers all events automotive this side of the border from Jedburgh to Orkney! I usually recieve a copy in January, & will look at what might interest us, & forward suggestions to Ed for his thoughts. I think something like the rally at Scone Palace or the like in Central Scotland, might suit us all, Looking forward to meeting like minded "Cobra" fans.

P.S. Bluetoon, have you seen the Mark Evans/Discovery channel "Sumo" build
video/DVD? worth while a look on "E-bay" for a copy.

Good luck with the build, TomD.

Thanks for the info.

Yes, seen the Mark Evans video....About 10 times now lol
Funny how my build doesnt go as smooth as his

I Stripped a Granada for the doner parts, Scrapped it, SORN'ed it, Kept the V5 and got some other bits from a sierra. Now having a hoot rebuilding a Rover V8.

I just cant wait to drive it around Perthshire and the west coast.
