Yes, no problem meeting at 12.45. In fact we will probably be there well before as we arrive in Aberdeen at 0700. We will have a look round the local area. Rest of the day works out fine too. Once again, thanks for your help as always Aarrgghh Tourists !!!! No space on Aberdeen boat for normal people. Not to be deterred. Now leaving from Stronsay 0730 to get Pentalina to Gills on 29th. Drive down, overnight, meet up, drive up, overnight, drive up, two ferries and home Sun 31st at 20.30 How much do I love you guys ??? Gosh can you make ferries on the same evening as the do our drive? It's a horrible thought but you do realise the meet is on the Sunday....? I HOPE you are kidding. Silver fox suggested Saturday not Sunday, then everyone signed up for the 30th which in my diary is a Saturday. Very expensive mistake if you are not joking. Sorry Dianne, looking back at the thread there has been some hee-hawing between the two dates, including moi, having originally proposed the Sunday then as you mention after silver_fox's post I have changed to Saturday! You have booked ferries etc aiming for a meet on Saturday 30th July so without question that is what we'll do! And I've amended the thread title. I'll amend the reservation for lunch tomorrow - still looking for confirmation from some....? BumbleBee carer

In case it will affect booking figures- I think I will be attending with at least one other. Simon- Thankyou for taking this on with the lunch venue. Dianne- I'm so glad you are able to juggle travel arrangements to make it! Last edited by dante giacosa; 18/07/2016 23:09.

Their opinion was just do the big scratch from the xxxxxx keying and leave the other "minor ones". Body shop says the ones on the boot and near side will be difficult to match so best left. So, will be good to get your advice on what you guys think is best before I make a decision. Saturday, looks a bit mixed weather at the moment, but time for it to brighten up.

Good luck, Dianne- hope the super-ferry is a good crossing- you'll have to tell me about it tomorrow, as I've never used it... Drive carefully- 'looks like' an alright day for a journey down...
