Sorry chaps :(

I think being a passenger would crack me up, so I'm going to bow out :(

Smoke me a midgie, I'll be back for next year.

Thanks Steve :) I simply cannot wait until the Meet, and to see beautiful Scotland (my first time!). Looking forward to meeting people, and also seeing familiar faces. Though my car will feel left out, am looking forward to the trip! I can't wait!! :D

If anyone wants to eat out here let me KNOW ASAP as will need to book.
If you are booking this up Steve could you please book a place for Janette and myself, otherwise we'll just go with the flow.

cheers.

Suspect I won't decide until closer to the time, the shortlist is still a 996 Carrera Targa or a Z4M, but we'll have to see :)

I've just brought this back home today http://yfrog.com/kl46duzj which at least has nearly the right engine and possibly some of the same suspension components as the Z4, that should get me through the winter and then I can look at proper cars in Jan :)
