Social meeting - Scotland

[Darren C]

Thanks mate; very kind and appreciated. Sure you couldn't push the next one a tad further north...

 

[murdo]

Not long till the social now folks and looks like we are going to have fair weather too. I will PM everyone myself and James (mrbroons) mobile numbers in case anyone runs into difficulties or would like a chat in person regarding final arrangements. No such thing as a silly question.

Safe journey everyone. Keep a safe distance if you're doing a convoy remember cars look a bit odd in our rear mirrors courtesy of our fabulous rear screen shape.

A reminder that James has provided travel details earlier in this thread. As stated - any questions or clarifications just give one of us a ring.

Hi Darren,

sorry to hear this, Best wishes to you, Diane and the children.

Pain is very debilitating.

Get well soon Diane.

[Darren C]

Many thanks Steve; very kind as always Sir. We are fairly confident and optimistic that the forthcoming operation will finally put the years of pain behind her. Shame that this surgery wasn't undertaken last time, but we understand why limiting it was worth a try.

Best wishes and I will pass on your kindness to Di.

Cheers,

Darren

Thank you mate; very humbling to read such very kind plaudits. All are very sincerely appreciated. I'm sure we'll make many socials this year and will make Scotland next. Look forward to catching up with you and Carole and everyone else soon.

To echo Jeff; apologies for thread swerve, this is the Scottish social thread still.

Sorry to hear of Diane's condition Darren,i do hope they are able to get her over this mate. I laughed out loud with your comment "could you make it further north" Lol. On a brighter note,it looks like we will be able to make the Kempton Park event after all,so should see you there,if your still going.

 

[mrbroons]

Shan't press the like button for this one DC. Not because I don't like the post - however a great decision like that one is worth more than a tick in the box. Family always comes first and we will see you and the family at a social soon and we'll hold you to the Scottish spring social in the Shetland Isles next year.

Absolutely agree, family first Darren, hope everything is ok and kids get on well. See you next time for sure!

 

[Darren C]

Cheers James; without doubt mate. Thank you.

Have a great social all at the weekend, shame we couldn't make it due to our nieces engagement tomorrow evening. Although having sat in a car for 4 hours last weekend to get to a wedding and only just getting over that and the journey home again, I realised that I would have had to be giving serious thought as it if I could manage the journey there and back anyway in such a short time frame.

I'm told (by a work colleague who hails from that region) that the museum is well worth and she really isn't in to cars but has been a few times

Darren as echoed by Mike and others, fingers crossed that Diane gets her surgery quickly and can then be pain free, Hugs to you all.

Have fun all that are attending and definitely want to see pictures.

Vonnie.

[Birchall]

In the boot floor there are chrome clips to tie things down to.

These have a plastic moulding to make them look better, these are those.
