Pics as requested

I know that the car pictures can be a potential problem as it means that each card is individual, but I think it helps to put a face to a name/car as some peoples car are as individual as the people that drive them. At the moment its not a problem for me to get them printed with the picture/name. If the club takes it onboard as part of your membership deal then I think they would have to look at standardising them.

I will post a few pictures tomorrow, those who want a badge made up will have to e mail me a picture of there car to put on the front I will pm you's with my e-mail address later

Carrick Engineering In Prestwick do them, any colour for about £100 + vat for four, they are done the same day if you take them early (8am). Alloys come back like brand new.

Hillington ? Is that the name of a pub ?

Just to let yous know that there is a small section with some pics Of Santa Cruz in this months Fast & Modified.

Any joy with the papers ?

We got small Scotland flags from Underground Graphics this week to go on your side windows with the elf stickers. I will bring them on Saturday/Sunday for you's (they are included in your £5). How did we get on with the local papers D/R E/T ? I contacted Fast & Modified today, if we send some details/pictures they will try and put it in the news section.

Sounds good.

"other info = claire has started the banner 4 the cruise and claire will be taking the pics if no body is doing so." I think we already have someone to take pictures, dont know if anyone else was going to write a report for true grip. Karps how did you get on with the local papers ?

Does the 170 presents include the 40 my brother posted above ? If not we have got 45 know, should have some more by Saturday. If it does then we stand at 175 presents with some more on the way, good stuff. Stevo Sti has spoken to S&S and hopefully they should be getting us about 20 Subaru teddies as a donation for the weekend.

I have made up a Christmas card that we can personalise with photo's from Sunday. Please let me know what you think. If you want theses files in word format then you will have to send me your e-mail address as I don't think you can post word doc's up.

No problem, I will have them with me on Saturday/Sunday.

Unhappy Yes, There was plenty of people willing to have a go at me for what I said, fair enough everybody is entitled to their own views even if other people don't agree, but I am not happy at the response. I made an apology for the comment about sending the Grinch round, but I don't seem to have got any reply about my response to Spooks from him & the others that commented, basically from him & the others misreading my post. I am not looking for an apology or for even people to agree with what I have done or said, but I think I deserve a response from the people that commented before I posted my reply to his response. On a lighter note, I thought it might be a good idea to give the people who have given donations a small thankyou in the form of a Christmas/Thanks for the donation card with some pictures from Santa Cruz on it. I will post up a mock card in word format later on today to see what you think.

Pity he didn't have the decency to speak to me....... Right first off my position is that I don't see the need to flood EVERY post with this subject, second if he feel like I am a grinch no problem you picked the wrong person I have done many, many charitable events on behalf of British Heart Foundation, CF trust, CF Dream holidays and also the CF unit for the Western General to name a few......... giving is not a problem. Third I think its great that you feel the need to kick the butts of the regional organisers yet I don't think he bothered asking anyone to make a big push, mmmm very good. Sorry to rant but I'm no happy with this, why drag my name through the mud for having an opinion............... just because I sent you a personal mail to say I think you were a tad OTT.............. had I realised this had been posted I would have responded earlier believe me. Mods If I have went over the top feel free to remove or adjust. To the rest of SIDC I apologise for the rant Spooks Malkys Reply Should I apologise ? For saying we would send the grinch round (didn't say you were the grinch)? fair enough it was meant as a joke, I apologise it has been taken the wrong way. For everything else No, but none of it was directed at you (Spooks) Point 1 - If you think I went OTT with the posts then fair enough, all I said was post it on the board as I don't agree with PMs. Point 2 - I didn't say that you hadn't raised any money for any good causes including Santa Cruz. Point 3 - We have posted lots about the Santa Cruz and have not had any feedback from the Scottish Ro's (All regions not just Glasgow) and many other Scottish members. Point 4 - "need to kick the butts of the regional organisers yet I don't think he bothered asking anyone to make a big push, mmmm very good." Getting personal should I ask you for an apology ? I know how much I have been involved with this cause, attending the meets in Ayr/Glasgow, Ideas for the event & collecting money as well as the posts on line. All I have tried to do is get more presents for the kids at Yorkhill, there is no personal gain for myself. If more Scottish members had got involved then maybe I wouldn't have had to try this. Malky

It would be handy if all the cars that are going to Yorkhill on Sunday went to this one so that we can finalise everything, stickers,convoy, meeting points etc.

Malky does a West Lothian Scoob What's that supposed to mean ?

First one to complain, i bet you wished you hadn't, we might have to send the Grinch round. I feel you may have went OTT with the flooding of the scottish scoobies board, I agree we need to help the santa cruise but there is no need to hijack every post, we are ALL aware this event is happening and most have either given or are taking part. Hope you dont take this the wrong way. Spooks Malkys Reply I know many members may have already given to this good cause but I am unhappy at the support that we have got from the SIDC regional organisers i.e. NONE. Maybe me high jacking the posts will give them a kick up the arse they need. Sometimes you have to do extremes to get action. Thanks. PS I am going to post your reply up on the board because I don't believe in PM's, if you want to have a go or a dig then please do it on line so that all the members that have put the time & effort into this good cause can see them. Thanks. Malky

BTTT Remember I am doing this for the kids at Yorkhill.

Back to the topic. ------------------------- Cowspeed Be prepared to get this all week & remember that i am doing this for the kids at Yorkhill. We need all the Scottish members to help out on this one.

If you read the posts about Santa Cruz you will see that we are collecting presents for the kids at Yorkhill, we need more presents so that the kids that are in hospital at Xmas have a good time. The reason I posted is to try & get more members involved, as there only seems to be a small group doing so. If I get a few extra presents for the kids then this will be worth it.

All right folks, we are looking for one last big push for prezzies for the Santa Cruz for the children of Yorkhill. Please remember that this is being run by Scottish members & next year we could be delivering toys to sick/under privileged kids in your area. We need all the Scottish members to dig deep to make it a good Christmas for the kids. PS I am high jacking all the threads as I feel quite disappointed that more members are not getting involved. PPS Hope this might get some more prezzies for the kids.
