Just off the phone to the event managers at Riverside Museum, Glasgow. Sunday 30 Sept (time will be confirmed, but likely to be 10am - 3pm or thereabouts)
I thought it would be good to have an end "summer" rendezvous of supercars at a static event with undercover areas if (or when) it rains. And it's very handy for many of you - both in terms of participation or as a visitor.
still room for more as of saturday 29th - 3pm Post interest on here.
The area we'll be parked on is directly in front of the main entrance to the museum, on the very large hard-standing. It's well used by car clubs and providing at least some of us hang around the cars, it's relatively safe and extremely photogenic.
UPDATE AS OF 3pm SATURDAY 29TH
ATTENDEES:
GrahamF430......Ferrari F430 Spider
Steelej.........Ferrari F430

Scottish 16M has some criteria he uses for his club, mostly by marque, but no mention of top speed being a benchmark. KD if you can only do 159 - you should be ok for the 23rd road run - half of it is downhill! Think steelej is at a loose end that day?

Not that worried how Supercar is defined, but I'll see who's interested. Hope John will make it. It would be good to have more than one 430 there.

I’ll have a wander along on the day, always nice to have some proper cars to look around of an afternoon.
(My car’s technically quick enough, but I don’t think it’s exactly what you have in mind … besides the fact that I probably won’t have it very clean at the time.)

I've just agreed to go on a run with the Rover P6 club  . If it all goes pear shaped I can come in either the Bentley GT (198mph) or Noble (185mph).

Hope you can make it, but I also don't want to spoil any other events. GUYS, the mph thing was simply an easy way to say I was looking for high-end stuff. Riverside host a lot of car club events and this is one I'd like to do with a lot of horsepower and speed related stuff. It's not in relation to anything else, it's just a good excuse for anyone local to park up and have a chat whilst letting the public have a look at some nice metal. It's also about time to let Glasgow owners take their cars to somewhere a little more "local" than Aberdeen or Edinburgh If we get a dozen cars, to be honest, I'll be happy. The more the merrier of course. I'm trying to ensure we'll have at least one Countach, maybe the Diablo 6.0VT, F430 (or two), GTR, whatever Paul can bring if he's not on holiday, and the chance of other exotics too. I'll also give Andy at Lambo a call and see if he's interested. I don't think that Aventador is going anywhere until October

I was going to ask if people can walk down and see it. I'll be back by then so I may pop down from Dundee.

The RS4 will hit 185mph. Does that still count as a supercar even although i can fit my wife, my daughter and the 2 rotties in... and still have a couple of spare seats.
