Noticed a number of TVR's in the carpark of a hotel just to the west of Aberdeen this weekend.

PH'ers ?

Cheers,

TVRCC Celtic Gathering. Annual event that alternates between Scotland and Ireland; this year in Aberdeen. Biggest social event in the Scottish/Irish TVRCC calendar.

There will be quite a few PHers there. Missing it this year as a) wife's birthday and so other plans, b) if I could have wriggled out of the 'other plans' I would be working on the Tuscan, c) just come down with the lurgi, so all plans on hold anyway

Usually great events.

Well spotted! - that was one of 3 hotels we filled. The welcome was excellent despite there being a slight nip in the air, as you mentioned

Speaking of Aberdeen, there's a grey T350c sometimes seen in the Westhill area.

Anyone here?

Cheers,

Maybe your dad went and had a good time without you!!!

Really you should the club then all these details would be close at hand.

As for the Gathering well it is held every year, either in Ireland or Scotland. Next year its in Ireland.

Feel free to come along to one of the meets - there's a few each month depending on how far you want to drive.
Also - why not join the email alias - http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/tvr-scotland/

We're already planning the next Scottish Celtic Gathering - mark your diary for mid-late March 2007
Note to others - don't let the Celtic bit put non-Celts off - each year we seem to get a few more people who drove up from England - all are made welcome!
