As the title says.
I'm planning to go for a little run around Edinburgh area on Sunday morning/midday... if anyone wants to join, you're more than welcome.

It's gonna be weather dependant obviously...

Sorry guys. Never looked at the computer this morning. There was just me and VetteG and it wasn't really a cruise... We spend more time standing around and chatting than actually driving.
But on the way back I met boredinscotland and we made loads of noise on Princes Street and beyond

Don't know him. Have seen it parked up near mine occasionally but don't think he lives there. There is a guy though that has a black 360 not far too.

Yous are too quick for me... My car can make loads of noise but there's not much to back it up speedwise

Few pics from today's meet:








Then we went to my friend to swap my tyres over to new rims. They look a bit better me thinks

Passed you chaps near Dalmahoy Golf Club.
Stackofire then Vette G heading out from Edinburgh on A71 road.
That V8 rumble is the best sound.

[Nefarious]

Stackofire - did your car used to live on Newhaven Road? If not, there was an almost identical one parked outside my house for most of last year...

[VetteG]

It was an interesting time yesterday Stack and I headed out from Tesco in Corstorphine to Dave's place in Mid Calder. Dave had to bleed his brakes and swap wheels on his gorgeous GTO, then it was off to Lee's garage in Newbridge so that Mike could get his new wheels fitted, as if his car needed more bling! Some of Lee's projects are mind boggling! Lots of good chat getting to know the local muscle car guys, looking forward to more! Thanks guys.

Yes, it was my car... I used to live there, but because of the car I had to move to the place with the garage. Where you are exactly?

I live directly opposite the pub (which is now no longer a pub, thanks to the landlord's rather inept horticultural exploits).

I've been faced with much the same garage problems, but at least I've got one just round the corner for the TVR to live in (doesn't make the Jag or Clio feel any better when they get their wing mirrors kicked in though )
