I left at 3pm & I'm back in Crieff at 4.45pm! Total mileage done today was 294. That 147miles each way - you do the maths........ Was having a bit of fun with a black merc saloon on an 11 plate - got a little quicker than i expected and backed off. Then like 2 minutes later the same Merc is at the side of the road with a copper behind it!

I was out by my estimation of time by 15 miniutes - the wife said it was 5.03 when I got in the door! Still thats 2hrs & 3 minutes. Maybe 75mph average. I had a few blasts - i'm sure I saw a few of you guys on the way up the road!

To keep quiet could be expensive????

Hi all, sorry to bring back what is now a 5 year old thread pretty much. I recall this meet happening back in 2011 and was unable to attend due to having no car at the time. I knew Andrew when we very young/families were close but unfortunately I moved from the islands and life moved on.. But we both shared the love for cars (which I hadn't realised until his passing.)

 

Looking at the images of this memorial meet back in 2011, I was wondering if this became an annual meet? If not, if anyone would be up for it this year? 

 

Thanks,G

Unfortunately it didn't become an annual meet, which is a shame.

A lot of members have came and gone from Skoda ownership since then, which is probably the main reason. Although i think most of us are in touch one way or another.

 

Would be nice to get everyone together again!

Cheers johnny, did expect that - very hard to get regular members on forums now. Similar problem on Seatcupra.net seems Facebook has taken over that with the groups etc. But if we could organise a meet for roughly same time of the year again if possible or even during the summer months as its closer? 5 years I guess is as good as any for another meet/catch up/check up on those new mods..
