Surprisingly; I couldn’t find anything similar already covering this, unless I just didn’t see it!
There must be like minded car enthusiasts in the Edinburgh area looking to meet up occasionally, and also arrange the odd evening run out when the weather is on our side?
I’m happy to pull things together, or help of there’s already a set up, even get a closed WhatsApp group together, so we can suggest something last minute etc..

I'm either out of touch or looking in the wrong places but car stuff in general seems a bit lacking of late? The breakfast meets have gone quiet, the bigger events are stupidly expensive especially if you're only going for a couple of hours and even 'car guys' in this area seem few and far between. I'm in East Lothian and it's rate to see anything that looks like it's just out for a random drive, enjoying a bit evening sunshine. Shame really.
There's a few of us that like to get out for an occasional run, but trying to get a time when we're all around/ available, and the weather is nice; that's the tricky part. You're more than welcome to join me/ us.

Things moved off pistonheads really.

The runs got too big with too much unwanted attention. Some people moved away/ on with their lives.

The glasgow side got better organised and now have their own website

Thanks Sherman. I'm sure that there's always the potential for these things to grow arms and legs. I'm just looking for like minded folk, who like the occasional run out in their car, when the weather's good.

Monday (26th) is looking to be nice weather; I'm going to go for a run out, leaving Edinburgh around 7pm. If anyone fancies tagging along; DM me your mobile number, and I'll add you to a WhatsApp group so we can make plans..

I would certainly be keen to arrange something, I'm South Queensferry way.

I have heard Linlithgow do an occasional informal meet once a month, not sure on full details.

It would be good to meet like minded people beer
Hi Ben,
I've just sent you a direct message with my mobile number; drop me a text and I'll add you to a WhatsApp group chat - we can start arranging a run out.

I'll be up for that once I'm back on the road. I have a sneaky feeling that Patch1875 lives fairly close to me too. I'll DM you if don't mind with my details as well.

Edited to add -

Oh, you don't receive emails, can you DM me?
Have sent you a message including my mobile number. Have also amended my profile to allow emails. smile

Build it and they will come it would appear. I have fairly limited time but a wee run out one evening / Sunday morning would be a nice break from reality. I'm out Dunbar direction.
It seems the case thumbup
I've just email you too.
Thanks

I would be up for a few meet-ups/runs - used to go to the monthly meet at Falkirk, but no-one seems to be that keen on going anymore!
I’ve sent you my mobile number, so you can message me, and I’ll get you added to the group chat.
Thanks

I’m interested if anything gets organised. From Edinburgh but live in Glasgow now. I’ve done a few runs with the local mx5 group. So know a few good routes down the Scottish Borders etc.
I’ve just sent you an email now. Not sure if there’ll be much happening over the winter, but it’ll be good to plan ahead with some dates and runs out.
Thanks
Andy
