Just to give all you lot the heads up that Scotlands biggest Swapmeet of the year, SCOTMODEL 2013, will be taking place on 3 Nov 2013

Venue: Graeme High School, Callendar Road, Falkirk, Scotland, FK1 1SY, (11am-4pm)

Hope to see some of you there.

I know i will be. (just look out for the fat git in the Iron Maiden T shirt!!) Happy collecting.

I'm still thinking it over, On Friday I got a date in London, On Saturday evening my daughter has a halloween party in Linwood (near Glasgow) and Scotmodel is not too far from there on the following morning, decisions decisions........

No excuses Nick, cancel that date.......No woman comes before Matchbox hunting!!!

Especially if If you are in Linwood on Sat 2 Nov!!. Just get out your scratcher and climb into that old beater of yours and head North. There's a hot roll and a coffee waiting for you.

You never know maybe that vhtf RW you've been looking for all your life will be sitting in a box with your name on it for 25 pence!!! One can dream

Hope you can make it, it would be great to see you again.

I was up last weekend and was planning to stay for 2 weeks to take in the Scotmodel event but had to come home early, trouble is its £160 in petrol each time I go up, not to mention at least 8 hours driving and 8 hours back again, I need a rich girlfriend who drives lol.

Bloody hell Nick what are you driving these days a Tank?? You would probably be cheaper flying..........does Clacton have an airport??

Stanstead is my nearest airport which is still 50 miles away, and then you have to pay to park as well, and I really need to have the car when I am in Scotland so its best to drive, I like the drive up, especially when you get north of the M62 and the roads get quieter,
the A66 can be fun at times too, last time I came up I was overtaken by a fully kitted out MG Metro or something, He got about 50 yards in front of me and for some reason he drifted over to the central reservation and put his front wheel in a rut, the car span round and literally fell to pieces as there were spoilers and skirts and bits of car all over the road. I never ran over much of it (lol)
