Thanks Ed , I'll see you there mate . Thanks Wullie , Callum and Billy . I hope you all have a good day on Sunday , I'll look forward to the reports that night see yous at the meet next week

Sorry for (very) late reply , my mate phoned having broke down in his fiesta , had to run out with jumpleads and rescue him . . . auto so we couldn't even bump it Anyway thanks for the response guys , who would be able to meet me at 'The Hillington' at 8pm on Saturday ? I don't have a lot , I can't make Santa Cruise , but I still want to 'do my bit' Billyboy has my moby number , but I don't think I can get a signal where I'm going (darkest Argyll) so could you reply here now and I'll reply after midnight (going for a pint now - I'm stressed-oot) , or before 10am Thanks again ,

Can anyone meet me on Saturday evening to collect pressies I have for Santa-cruise ? Due to unforseen circumstances I have to go for an over-night stay tomorrow morning(Friday) back Saturday about 6pm . I have got a few things for the kids which I'd like to donate as I can't make it on Sunday due to my work , but I'm left with no time now . Hillington would be ideal but I'll drive anywhere Paisley/Glasgow area to meet-up . Could anyone who can help please post here or PM me this evening as I won't have internet access from 10am tomorrow till 6pm Saturday . Thanks in advance , Al.

Sharon , this is just what Ruby needs , once you blag a bonnet of course PSSSsssttt lol , Al.

Hi Callum , I could be interested in these headlights if they'll fit my '00 (?) , and if they are still for-sale of course ! What colour are they unpainted I don't want to sound like a plonker . . . but 'any pics mate ?' I'll be at meet next week if you are going / still have them / don't mind bringing them with you ? Cheers , Al.

Good stuff Billy . I'm glad you are staying at the helm , you do a good job . Maybe (as mentioned at a recent meet ) having people taking on positions Eg; P.R. , fundraising/charity , runs , shows/events would share the load and take some pressure off what is a hard job. I think some folk forget sometimes that we all have full time jobs to do , and this is our hobby/pastime which we voluntarly try to squeeze into our precious free-time . Anyway , heres to a successful 2006 See you all at the next meet , Al.

Does this make me blonde too ? Al.

Hey Vicki , want to swap for ones with black writing ? silver would be visible on my dark blue and black on your silver ? Al.

Theres me centre-stage , blethering to G.mac . I see we are in 'General' section too . Al.

This is from Glasgow Evening Times last week sometime (my mum saved it for me ) I think it must lose something in translation Al.

Billy the fish got the 'Subaru' one . (Hope it arrived OK ? ) Anyone interested in the 'Sigma' one ? Al.

I have replied

I've ordered a couple . Its a good cause folks , dig deep . Al.

I have 2x spare ones , one badged 'Subaru' the other 'Sigma' (see pic) They just need programmed to your system (2-min job ,detailed in alarm manual) I'll sell them for £20 each inc p+p (ovno !) both have new CR2025 batteries I have these from my wagon which was sadly written-off earlier this year . Al

Heres one of my wheels . Al

I don't care who goes in to the ward . I don't care who attends (I can't) I don't care who cares ! BUT , I've spent a few days in hospital recently , and it is a miserable and lonely experiance , the staff try their utmost to keep everyones chin-up , but it is still daunting and scarey . . . . . . . . and I'm 40 . . . . how do the kids feel ? All I want is to see our contribution brighten the kids time over Christmas ,when they are ill ,and in a strange place ,without their usual chums . Its no-nice I'm new to this , so if I'm talking out of turn ... tell me . Lets just get on with it and stop being petty . Sorry to rant Al.

I didn't realise both were same day I can't attend either in that case Let me know how I can donate monies or pressies , it is better than me doing nothing . Al.

Thanks for keeping us ,who couldn't attend tonights meet ,informed , it is appreciated Unfortunately , as anyone who knows me knows , I work Sundays . . . so I can't make the Yorkhill day . But I'm up for the Lothian day ,if anyone can give me a heads-up on time place etc . Post or PM please . Billyboy , what about a delegation from our side heading through to support the "Edinburgers" ? 'cos I'm sure some of them will travel through to support the "Weegies" Please keep me informed 'cos I'd like to do my bit here . . . Al.

I'm doing OT at work today , so I won't make meet tonight , but I'd be grateful if anyone could let me know of anything I miss via post here or PM . Thanks . Al

And as if the "toucher" wasn't scary enough . . . if you look closely , you'll see that my expression was actually because I'd just looked in Scooby-mag-Johns mirror and clocked someone taking a fly pic of my ass Al

My car took some cleaning after the Highland run on Sunday , it was boggin But I learned something that day . . . Rain-x is great stuff . I used it for the first time after washing car on Saturday , and what a difference it made on Sunday , a few members actually asked why my windows weren't dirty like theirs . I also didn't seem to use very much skoosher water compared to others . When I hosed the car down when I got home , the dirt on the windows just slid off too . Al.

Am I the only one here who can foresee , at the next run . . . a female in camo and SASmask armed with spanners and a can of Halfords finest metalic green Go-on Sharon get the new bunnet , but forget the big-scoop ... ye canny make toast on an air-filter Al. (Safe in DBM 95H . . . . not green )

Thank you Gumball 'n Wilky I thought I was trippin' I spotted that and thought it was dead appropriate , what wi all the manky motors When I told folk at Crathie they thought I was barking , thanks for the photographic evidence Al.

You were behind me at the Elgin fill-up . After lending U my water bottle I thought "'kin turbos , Sharons Sport only needed 2L of water , when my car needed 22quid petrol " What a good day
