OK, its early doors after JO-II but plans are afoot....
How about this?? No contacts actually made yet, just an idea over a burger and some laughs today at Loch Lomond.....
Vintage Bus Museum near Kelty on M90 motorway, approx midway between Forth Bridge and Perth. Knockhill Race Circuit approx 5 miles away.... Follow the links below.
How about that then, Baldrick, for a cunning plan???
Not the best of websites but we could probably sort out something as regards a (large) aircraft hanger to do work in as well as having a meet.... Also camping space with loos (no showers though) and in the middle of approximately nowhere, so noise of an evening is no problem.....
vintage bus museum (http://www.busweb.co.uk/svbm/Home.htm)
but with this (http://www.knockhill.com/) just 5 miles up the road??
with the assorted contacts we now know we have, could possibly sort something out?
Sounds like a plan to me :y
Cambelt party it is then :)
Great idea. 20k miles before I need another cambelt change (approx 6 mths) but loads of other things I could use the space for...
Exhaust.... brake discs... oil change.... breathers... wishbones... etc.
Count me in.

Nice enough, scenic enough and easy enough to get to for all OOF who want to, be you either north or south. With a bit of planning, we could possibly get a weekend entertainment of some description sorted out, for those who do not want to swing spanners. Karting and similar available at Knockhill, executive retail therapy on Princes Street, Edinburgh, a wee bit south for those who must... Could lay on a minibus for those who want it to Edinburgh...

Sounds like we have the formation of another historic or is it hysteric gathering coming on...... ::)
Do not mind getting down and dirty with spanners in hand or burger....... :o :o :o :o
Definightly bring along family as the gathering at Loch Lomand has shown it can be a good experience. :y

I'm up for that, do they rent the hangers out for the day so that we can get all the cars undercover to work on :)

definately an interesting one for me, although i would ask for it NOT to be in August, the missus is expecting baby in mid August so would prefer either July or before or September or after :)
Will definately be making it to this one :)
An overnighter with camp fire, bbq, beers and burgers sounds good to me!! :y
Not much use iunder the bonnet, but certainly willing to learn, anyone want to toy around with my car? lol

That bus Museum has a classic car show around the 20th June every year.
I know a couple of people with units up there and one of my old next door neighbours is one of the curators there.
Real nice place.
If I can help, let me know.

Fairly certain draper don't sell v6 ones. v6 ones are more than the £5 camlocks used on twin cam engines. Ebay is usually cheapest, expect to pay between £50 and £70 + p&p. Seen them in shops for around £150.
Mine is an SP one.

Cam belt party ........ sounds good, but needs to be in the next 7K miles for me. ;) ;)
I'm pretty sh1te with the tools, but always willing to learn .... and eat burgers.
Only problem is if it is the weekend of 16/17 June, thats a definate no - no for me.
Not sure about letting SWMBO on princess street for some retail therapy either ....... I maybe cheaper taking the motor to the stealers for a cambelt change. :-[ :-X :-[
At this point count me in. :y :y :y

What's the latest Dates for Jockular Omegas III meet
-
No dates suggested yet. I intend to go to the 'bus museum this weekend and see what I can manage to blag/arrange as regards garage space.
Might be worth trying to set something up in conjunction with some KH events, since its only a couple of miles up the road....
-
kk yeah this could be a shout, hopefully it's not the day after a proper piss-up for me so I'll be sober to drive :D

**** Update ****
I finally managed to track someone down who looks after the bookings etc for the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum at Lathalmond (http://www.busweb.co.uk/svbm/). It is only a couple of miles from Kelty junction of the M90 motorway. A number of other vehicle enthousiast groups use the site on various weekends for meetings as well.
We can camp onsite for a minimal cost (£1 per head per night) and there is a small function hall we could use on the saturday night, if we wish, for an equally minimal cost (£1.50 per head). A toilet block (only) is a short walk from the camping area. No showers.
I am told that they will try to accomodate hanger space for work to be done on cars but, unfortunately, cannot be guaranteed. Ample hard standing is available though to work on the cars and we could use gazebo type afairs if its wet. Own tools and kit would be needed.
Knockhill Racing Circuit (http://www.knockhill.com/)is only 4 miles away and there are various events ongoing.
Museum dates that are available are:
11th to 13th May (same weekend as The Scottish Motorshow Live at Knockhill)
1st - 3rd June (June Bikefair, bike racing at Knockhill on the Sunday)
6th - 7th July (nowt showing for KH)
13th - 15th July (Scottish Championship bike racing at KH)
I'm away for both July dates and if we want to use the first date (11th to 13th May) then we need to get going....
I'll put up a poll for dates once I work out how to do it!
B
-
may be a dodgy one for an overnighter for me.....so i will probably turn up and go home same day :-/
May one is out for me as are both July dates....
On the plus ive got just about every tool available right through to 2 sealey engine hoists if anyone is feeling really adventerous ;)
-
Most weekends aren't a problem for me, although I havnae checked with the boss on that. :-[ :-[
Once we get a fixed date then I'll let you know for sure. :y :y
Cheers Hotel21!
As for tools, I have varying weights of hammer ....... can I bring em?

Pretty much the case, I'm afraid. Perhaps too many other things on elsewhere..... :(
-
Hi.
Ok guys, let em know what the masses decide, will need to get my belt changed ASAP
Cheers,
Iain
-
The only date of meet listed I can make is this weekend, all the others I am booked elsewhere..... This weekend is basically burst as far as Lathalmond goes as the keyholder person went away on hols Saturday past. As there was no apparent interest, its all gone a bit quiet....
If anyone else wants to persue a meet elsewhere on alternate dates, thats no prob. By the sound of things Iain, you need your belt kit done asap....
How bigs your driveway? :-?

....and on that subject my drive way is big enough ( including the garage) for 14 cars :-X
-
hi,
My driveway fits 3 cars, theres currently 5 in the family. MY mum would go nuts if I stripped it here, hence why im looking to get together somewhere, she's had enough of me ripping landrovers too bits over the years on it.
However, my gran has a small holding that would hold 6/7 cars, and theres a garage that u can get the car into. Would need to know when ur looking at though?
Cheers,
Iain
-
Hi,
No word guys????
-
Had a prang in my Meega this week so it's gonna be away for a while to let the insurers decide what to do with it :(
No point in me committing to dates until I know if its coming back or not. :'(
-
Sorry too hear that mate, hope it gets sorted.
Im free next weekend if anyones free to help me change my cambelt?
Cheers,
Iain
-
Thanks mate. Nobody hurt thats the main thing.
Got a full house next weekend otherwise would be glad to help out.
Good luck!

Ouch :( thats no good glad your okay...
Whats the extent of the damage?
-
Doesn't look too bad. Front end needs new bumper, wing, bonnet, lights etc. but it's w-reg 2000 with 99k on the clock and although it's in great nick may just be beyond economical repair :(
I was one of seven or eight vehicles that got hit by a 10 foot long steel portacabin support leg which had become detached from the lorry it was being transported on. Unfortunately the leg itself was still connected to the lorry by an eight foot chain. The lorry was travelling in the opposite direction to us through the very narrow roadworks on the A8000. The driver seemed oblivious to the problem as the leg was cartwheeling through the vehicles alongside him. How it didnt go through my windscreen I'll never know but I managed to brake and swerve so that it just hit the front of my car. It had hit 5 other vehicles in front of mine and a couple behind me too. In the melee several of us ran into the back of each other and I collected a corsa as a bonnet mount ;D.
Time to look for another meega methinks.

Sounds like we have the formation of another historic or is it hysteric gathering coming on...... ::)
Do not mind getting down and dirty with spanners in hand or burger....... :o :o :o :o
Definightly bring along family as the gathering at Loch Lomand has shown it can be a good experience. :y

DaveL
>:(Much as i love my mig during 60's & 70's Ford beat vauxhall hands down. Escort vs viva, cortina vs victor, Granada vs Cresta??? Ok the last granada/ scorpio were pants but but until then Ford creamed Vauxhall, BMC, Rootes group etc.
I appreciate some things are a matter of taste/good/bad experiences but i reckon old Fords where the best all rounders, maybe i'm biased, you must have your reasons, but i love 'em. :D ;D

I have an issue with Fords - every one I drive I tend to crash. Kinda put me off them...
-
I've kinda lost track of this... so what goes? Obviously the may date is out as it's passed, I can't do either of the first two weekends in June as I'll be in San Diego, and the weekend of 7th-8th July is T in the Park so that's a definite no. Other than that I should be available ;)
-
To recap on whats gone on, the available Lathalmond (Kelty, M90 m/way) dates are as listed in the poll.
Due to family commitments, I cannot guarantee being available on any specific weekend, almost until the last moment, for the forseable future..... :-X :(
It basically now needs someone to propose/arrange/coordinate a venue and date and guage the response thereafter.

Not particularly... :y
Just seems that interest has dropped substantially. At Loch Lomond the general talk, unless I picked it up wrongly, was to have another meet and get some work done as well as having, possibly, an overnight or at least a few beers. I suggested Lathalmond, knowing it has the space and possible access to covered work area, irrespective of whether the concensus was a burger and a blether or a spanners and all day out....
If anyone has any alternate suggestions as to a venue, then lets hear them...... I have no particular preference as to where or what format, just that my weekends are at a premium these days.... :y
-
Just wondering if England meets Scotland in June is preventing people seeing beyond then, hence lack of interest? The lakes should be by far the biggest meet we've done here, so possibly understandable that some peeps are focused on that?
-
That could well be the case, TB. There are one or two who need work done sooner rather than later though..... :-/
-
Sorry i have not been on much to do with the next meet of the jocular's but had a series of close family problems that have really taken my mind off the ball.
Cannot commit to any thing as may be needed to travel at short notice down South.
Really wish i could give you a lot more support but family musts at the moment.

My meega is still at the bodyshop waiting for the assessor to read it it's last rites :'(
Still... my hire car is big enough to hold a cambelt party in!
Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD. It's big, it's boxey and... it's ..... well, crap really.

I agree - as long as you bring tech II Jamie ;) - maybe put this on hold till lakes where those that are there can discuss the groundings and pitch it back here?

...however if anyone is undertaking essential maintainance work im happy to support them with either hands, tools, knowledge or driveway to do it in.. :y

I need to assess the level of demand before I bring up one of the units - I suspect space in the car will be at a premium, as she will want to bring the kitchen sink!

Okay...Keswick has been and gone. And was a massive massive success.....
So now - as Brucie and I chatted about at the lakes - we need to get JockOmegas3 going again....
So lets start by thinking of a venue ( central) to ensure all can attend.....
Stirling / Callander / anywhere else? ?
ps if the need arises i can start a new thread on this :y
-
.and meant to say, its Jockular Omegas because of Venue, not because we are all scottish.
So Chopsdad etc etc from the North - your only a few hours away and of course very very welcome. :y

Any interest?
There is a Classic car meet at Callander 0n August 26/27 2007. I will be going on the Saturday, any of the jocks going to be there as well?
Would not expect many Omegas there on the stands but it would be nice to meet up with any one there. The link is here.http://www.callanderclassic.com/body_CCW.htm
Would not expect the organisers to allow for a cam change in the field but could try out a barby. :y

Let's see what intrest we can get first :y
-
Any interest?
There is a Classic car meet at Callander 0n August 26/27 2007. I will be going on the Saturday, any of the jocks going to be there as well?
Would not expect many Omegas there on the stands but it would be nice to meet up with any one there. The link is here.http://www.callanderclassic.com/body_CCW.htm
Would not expect the organisers to allow for a cam change in the field but could try out a barby. :y

Might sway some of us. ;D ;D
Let's see what intrest we can get first :y
..as you said earlier Jim, there is a good fish and chip shop in Callander. ::)
-
yup count me in for that one guys :y :y
-
Oh and that chippy is stil there and still fabby....well it was yesterday ;D
-
Oh and that chippy is stil there and still fabby....well it was yesterday ;D
Where you doing a quick Recce, for the next meet ;D ;D or did you just fancy some chips ;)
-
Well a bit ad hoc but that is 3 of us interested. Can only make the Saturday as Mrs. DaveL and I are then on our holiday to Devon...Hope the weather is not as bad as last weekend at Glamis. Up to your elbows in mud.
Will be bringing a Swiss friend along to see some classics. He by the way did have, up to last weekend, an A.C. Cobra, not I may add a kit car. Unfortunately he ran out of road and smashed the car up. It is being sent back to Switzerland.
Any way might get him interested in getting a decent car... ;D ;D ;D
Will try to be at the parking by 10.30 hrs. Usually a good selection of eats at the event but will be bringing a camping stove.

.and meant to say, its Jockular Omegas because of Venue, not because we are all scottish.
So Chopsdad etc etc from the North - your only a few hours away and of course very very welcome. :y
Thanks Markie - How about somewhere near Livingstone? Great shopping centre for the Mrs and local boy MAMS lives nearby. Also has a Pizza Hut for AmigoV6. Only 'bout 100 miles from mine - but so is Glasgow for that matter. :)
Sounds good to me.......Geography never my strong point so Brucie ./ Jim etc what sort of open spaces do we have in Livvy etc that we could use.... :-X
Firstly sorry for not being around had masses of family and work stuff going on.
right in Livi there's a few large parks, Howden Park is one that instantly springs to mind! large area with loads of open space, although no dedicated barbecue area etc :)

I could well be interested in this, might need to persuade the wife as she's got her C-Section date of 14th August but might be a wee excuse to whet the babies head (although driving so it would have to be a cola :) lol )
-

both ;D remember its only 30minutes from me :y

Guys, Summer is almost over, (well not that we've really had one) So let's get Jockular Omegas III on the go again. Lets try and get as many people at the next one as possiable, if anyone has any idea's where it should be or what date it should be, then speak up and add a reply to this thread :y
Cheers Jim

So are we going for the 25th Aug @ Callender then.

Might have to give this one a miss - my boy's playing footie in the morning. Might catch up with you later in the day though... in time for a fish supper maybe! :y
-
On the other hand.... does anybody need a set of rear brake disks for their meega?? (solid type)
I ended up buying two sets recently due to a mix up with the local parts supplier. They are brand new MINTEX still boxed. Any reasonable offer accepted and I'll make a special effort to get up to Callander at the weekend to deliver them! :y

Weather looks good for Saturday at Callender. Do not know whether to bring a brolly for the rain or for the sunshine. Ah B**g*r it one will do both.. ;D ;D ;D
Think stout footware will be in order though, if only to go round kicking a few tyres, nothing gets those classic owners more than some one kicking their tyres. :o ;D ;D
DaveL

all these gourgous meegas will steal the show shame on all the classic car owners who do nothing but polish there cars lol ;D :-/

Like to see a car used not stuck in a plastic box not used. Trailered every where.

I may not be in attendance, firstly i thought it to be Sunday, having moved things about to free up Saturday i may actually end up still not making it due to work commitments....
Wont really know for definate untill Late Friday or even Saturday morning folks....
Apologies in advance if not in attendance - but month end sales targets not looking good and i may decide to oversee Saturdays performance and kick some a$$ >:(
-
We will be looking out for you Markie. :y
-
What time do you want to meet up at :)

How about Mulsanne Bar from 12.00 hrs. or later?
Live music and from what I can remember a lot of space. ;)

So, who's actually Coming to J.O. III

:'(
My beastie decided to spew its water puddens out this afternoon - looks like the heater bypass valve - but will need to strip some bits to be sure.
As a result, cannot say for sure if I will be there or not. May have to use the bike or her car, rather than mine, depending on what I find in the morning.
Hope you have a good day, in case I can't make it. ;)
Broocie

I'm gonna try to get there but it won't be till the afternoon - maybe around 2'ish...

Just got logged on today... I wasn't going to make Saturday anyway as I went down to my folks' on Friday night so I could get a few things done on both cars Saturday morning (change drop link on BMW, replace rear multi-ram on Omega, etc) but the iffy weather held me back a bit so I was working well into the afternoon. Seems that the day was cancelled anyway.... oh well, time to start planning for the next meet :D

Sounds like the Saturday was very poor. Thanks to DaveL for giving me the "heads-up" on that just as I was about to drag the family all the way to Callander.
Who is going to start the "Jockular Omegas IV" thread then?? ;D
-
Hey all,sorry to here about the lack of support at this event :(
I have found in the past,with other clubs/forums,that mini-meets seem to be well attended,but bigger ones are a bit hit and miss.
I for one,as a new Omega Jock owner,would love to meet up with other Scot's.

Hi Iain,
There are plenty of us around. Perhaps we could arrange a Fife n Kinross mini-meet at the auctions next time an omega comes up? We could point and laugh at the punters buying inferior products ;D
Hotel21 (Broocie) and DaveL aren't too far away.. anybody interested?

You have to keep up with the Jockular threads, one minute nothing seems to be happening, then like a rabid haggis it gets up and runs away with you. ;D ;D
Looking forward to seeing all who can get there. Absolutely 'whistling down' here but that should not worry us ardent 'party' goers.

sorry guys have to give it a miss. the weather is terrible and apart from other things the traffic on the bridge especialy coming home is a nightmare. was in perth 2 weeks ago sat for 2 hours in the traffic. thought the old meega was going to pop a gasket ;D we will have to get our act together and go for a big one :y hope to meet you all soon it will be nice to put faces to names. ::) take care...paul
-
Are we still on for 2pm?
Its hissing down but I'm sure there's a local hostelry that'll take us in ;)
-
According to the news the work on the bridge this week end has been cancelled. So should not be long ques to or from Fife.
I am still going along so will either see you or some of you there, or back to 'Billy no mates'..... :'( :'(
-
Yeah, Bridge is clear. Work this weekend is cancelled. I'm in South Queensferry and watching the traffic on the bridge just now. No probs. I'll be at Kinross Services for 2pm.
Looks like it might be just you and me Dave?
-
No prob mate, will see you there. :y
Dave.

well as they say that was that then, Jockular Omegas III finally over. Just got back in but I thought that the pole dancer was a bit over the top. Sorry for all of the guys and gals that could not make it.
Arrived at a very wet Kinross to find Bruce and Davy hiding in Bruce's car out of the rain. Rob (phat321) then arrived but went in to the services so thinking that he was going to get the drinks in we followed.
On the way over Bruce managed to push a forum leaflet underneath a wiper on an Omega parked up. The driver though did not appreciate this as he was on the telephone as Bruce was accosting the car.
Very nice to see the others and to see Davy's new motor in the flesh. Very nice and clean, what it will be like in another few weeks is another story.
So finally this thread can be put to bed, looking forward to the next Jockular meet, been told there is a nice telephone box on the A9 between Perth and Inverness. ;D ;D ;D

So, who turned up!! Was there enough people to class it as an Official Meet, Was this the actually Jockular Omega III which has taken 6 months in the making or are we still adding to this thread for another date ;D ;D
-
We were looking for quality here Jim not quantity. ;D ;D
Total of 4, Me (DaveL), Hotel21 (Bruce),H12DVY (Davy) and Rob (Phat321). Plus a chap in a parked Omega, on his phone, posted by Bruce. So a potential new member. :y
Not a very good turn out but not bad, a lot better than at Callander. :-[

We did lift the bonnet of Bruce's motor and Davy's new one. Compared a few notes and closed their lids. Did not think the management at the services would appreciate us swopping engines in the car park. Might have sorted out Bruces' front ram problem though. ;)
-
well done chaps :y :y
-
Glad it all went ahead in the end :y
Been nice and sunny here today.....hasnt rained for 3 weeks or more now :y ;D
Be a bl**dy hose pipe ban again soon no doubt >:(
You'd better start JO4 thread now then..... ;D :y

Four people, is that it. Surely we can't class that as JO III, perhaps JO 2.5 Mini Intermediate meet ;D ;D
I wasn't there so it doesn't count :P

The OOF fleeces were no use in that weather I'm afraid - although that is an interesting shade of pink Broocie! :-*
Special Edition OOF Snorkel and Mask available for next meet ;D

I don't know!!! I wasn't there so I personnel think it didn't happen and it didn't count as a proper meet, there was only 4 cars,!!!! so I think it was J.O 2.5, but I think the rest of the J.O's might have something diffrent to say :P

JO4 will have to go on a new thread.... ....how you jocks keep up with whats happening in these JO threads is a mystery ;D

To me, it was quality rather than quantity..... :P
If, for whatever reason, you were unable to answer the call of the fiery cross then its upto someone else to get the Scottish Bluebells out and start the new thread of Jockular Omega's IV ....... ;D
