Jockular Omegas III
« on: 10 April 2007, 00:32:08 »

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
but with this 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.
Dave

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

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.
