[EVLXGE]

If the weathers good its a decent (half) day out, not really enough to keep you entertained all day to be honest.
I'll be up on sunday working...well wandering about taking pics!

I was planning it but have to go car shopping this weekend Did not think much of it last year but then again it was chucking it down.

[Scotfox]

Yes I was there last year and will be up there again this weekend at some point.
They seem to have added a few more things to the list this year as well, especially on the Saturday

Certainly worth it if you have kids.

The slight downside is the "motorshow" part is just dealers trying to flog cars. Don't expect to see concept cars and the likes.

Having said that just had an e-mail this morning to say they'll be showing off the Audi R8 V10 with Gordon Shedden at the wheel.

Have a look on the Knockhill site or if you've any specific questions post here or PM me.

TBH you guys, and Rio, were the best thing there last year. I was slightly disappointed when I went(but I was told that there was going to be a Koenigsegg stand but apparently they 'forgot' to invite them!).

What groups that so I can look out for you?
If you have a 360 and other Italian metal, then I'll come and have a chat with you about a possible event later in the year!

[Knox18]

I'm looking forward to it,

i've been invited up to do passenger runs in my Mini along with fellow SMRC competitors with the proceeds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust, £10 for 3 laps of the circuit, all for a good cause! my car will have onboard cameras so it should be a laugh!

[Modena Scotland]

I don't have the 360 anymore. I will be in an Orange Diablo SV. There will be approx 25 Lambos/Ferrari/Lotis in our group.

See you then.

[Scotfox]

Knox, whats the restrictions for the passenger laps, adults only ?

[Lambochick]

I'll be there. Just packing things now ready to leave in half an hour or so. Anyone fancy saying hello, just look for the tall blonde with the orange Diablo.

[Modena Scotland]

Look forward to seeing your GT which Carlo told me about.

[Scotfox]

Lambochick...if you see a tall fair haired man with a 5 year old lad drooling over your car that will be me & my son. He's more of a petrolhead than I am !

[KB_S1]

I am going up on the Saturday with my Dad in his 328.
I think there is a substantial number from the FOC going.

Just hope it is dryish.

Shedden in the R8 V10 will be interesting.

Cheers, i'll look out for you and Lambochick too.
Been speaking to PaulQV about a joint Italian meet later this summer, if you know him he might have mentioned it to you.

[Scotfox]

Thanks for that Knox18...much appreciated

The Scottish Super Cars crowd offered to display of a range of cars, but KH wanted serious wedge for the privilege! Could be one reason for the lack of exotica last year.
