edinburgh cruise 31 oct

[quattrothedog]

ok folks, last one of the year. how about a good turnout ??

providing i can get my charging problems sorted, and unless the weather is awful, i'll be there.


since it's getting dark early, and getting cold of an evening, is there enough interest to bring the start forward by an hour or so ? maybe meet at 6 instead ?

then we can all bugger off when it gets too cold and have a couple of beers before bed !!

[P.J.]

I'll be there, as usual :D

As this is going to be the last cruise this year, I think we should do something special this time, like a synchronized engine start or an x-members group pic :D

I don't really mind if we start earlier, we just need to let everyone know about it (ie people who don't use the forum very often or don't use it at all).

[quattrothedog]

yeah, dayvan dave has most folk's phone numbers.

just wondered if an earlier start would bring folks from further away

I'll be there, as usual :D

I'll no be able to make it, got a big Halloween Fancy Dress gig that night in Kingskettle. Besides 'vette's out of tax and MOT :( and i don't think i'm gonna put it through 'til the beginning of next season.

[gordonbradford]

fraid not i'll be at a fancy dress at abernethy sorry

[andyl]

if the folk cant make it in the goooood weather
there is verrrrry little chance of them coming
when its fekin freeeeeezziin.;)

[andyl]

gordon are you going as
"smokey morrison":D

[GTODave]

Ill be there but agree with andy, there's two chances of us getting a good turn out :mad:

[quattrothedog]

i managed to get the alternator fitted today, but having some difficulty getting a fan belt to fit. :mad:
got one ordered, so fingers crossed !!

providing it's ok, unless the weather is real bowf, i'll be there.
cougar is pretty much undriveable if the roads are slippy with salt.

not great in the wet either.

nor the dry, now i think about it !............................

[dave 76 vet]

i had a thought maybe meet at queensferry and cruise into edin may bring out folks could meet early maybe meet at mcdonalds at the ferry 5 - 6 ish avoid city centre or not could be good laugh lots of freaks around in fancy dress up town open to ideas ?????????


maybe next year get more support from folks over the bridge

[gordonbradford]

lol good idea andy but don't think the wife would be happy!

[Kirsti]

Meeting at McD's at the ferry is fine by me. I'll meet wherever and drive wherever, although i think the city centre is more hassle than it's worth.

[GTODave]

Ferry is fine by me, was thinking it would be good to avoid the town alltogether. I drive there every day and it aint gettin any better:mad: Lets head somwhere else, Bathgate? Falkirk?

[andyl]

bob is this any good
voltage reg on ebay item no 320438011571
this guy has some t bird spares as well
(nowt 2 do with me)
just trying to help

[quattrothedog]

cheers andy, managed to make one of the alternators fit, just gotta get a fan belt to fit now, then i can test it.

lost 2 days cos i've been stuck in waiting for a gas fitter who didn't turn up, but hoping to get it sorted tomorrow. :mad:

initial weather forecast isn't looking great for the saturday, which could be a problem for me as i can't close my windows !! :rolleyes:

i'm not exactly rushing to fix it, still got over a week yet.
i think the car's trying to tell me it's had enough this year, nothing's going right with it at the moment. :(

[v8leeroy]

im up for ferry meet, had to go in buy another toy so i could join youse all since the rest o them r aww f**ked lol, im sure youse will find it suits me 2 a tee,the poliz dont approve o it to much tho

[GTODave]

Do you think you can make it to next saturday without breaking it though?

[dave 76 vet]

mcdonalds it is then 530ish


come on guys lets make it a gidyin last meet this year after all ford owners will be away to rebuild there cars now while chevy folks will tuck them up and kiss them good by for winter :D

[quattrothedog]

car's running fine again now, so fingers crossed.

only snag is my door poppers have stopped working, so if i don't get the time to look at them, i can't shut the windows. :eek:

so, i gotta hope it's not raining !
otherwise, i'll just need to see if i'm in kirsti's good books enough to be her bitch that night !! :o

[v8leeroy]

bob, put the coog on ebay, no reserve, you neva seem to be happy with it man, go n get a real car,a (CHEVY), mayby a matiz or sumfing like that,there cheep to run,pain in the arse to work out whats wrong with it,has nae power to burnout the tyres,and it would be a good wheel choke for me parking my truck on a hill,sounds perfect to me,what morecould you ask for, ohh and the doors on them line up pretty good lol

[quattrothedog]

it is beginning to fall apart around me !!

if i'd known how bad the doors really were i'd have not bothered fitting the poppers !! they're cool when they work, but have proved to be a total pain in the ass !!

it'd be ok if i could get a garage with power, could get it all sorted out.

trailing down to a cold damp lock up isn't really encouraging me to look at it !!

it's running much better, i found a perished vacuum hose, that's helped a bit. it's better now the alt is done too. guessing it maybe wasn't getting 12v at the coil !
i think the tranny is slipping a little, gonna try to have a look at it over the winter, maybe try to adjust the bands.

then hopefully the burnouts will be bigger and better next year !!


or maybe i should just rip the engine out an stick it in the herald ?..............

[stackofire]

Lee, how's T/A going? Have you done anything to it yet? My Pontiac killer is coming back to me in January and I already have got sh1t loads of new parts to fit. You, not gonna recognize it in the Spring.
May the power be with you :)

[v8leeroy]

na mike, ponchos deed, finking o striping it and banger raceing it, now that would be world wide famous coz its such a rare motor lol

emmmmmm pitty satarday wasnt the 30th as its livi cruise halloween cruise which i just luv to go to n eye up the young girles there, (you hear that bob n dave) and to generaly piss off the boy racers as the sound o muscle get rite up there beeks,
would be gid if a few o us could attend it,its at halfords car park at livingstone retail park,starts about 7 onwards if some o yose fancy going, i shal be there proberly feeding doughnuts to the poor as always

[quattrothedog]

quite tempting actually. kirsti is at a party so i'm at a loose end.

might not bring coog tho since i don't trust it at the moment, might bring the escort and come for a look see.

i'll park it round the corner.

now, about those girlies............................;)

[stackofire]

What's wrong with the T/A, Lee? Are you not gonna fix it? Maybe I will buy that engine from you for my Z28 ;)

[dave 76 vet]
