Hello I am hopefully moving up to Killin on sunday/monday for good, I have a meeting tomorrow with a contractor and I will get a start date to start a work contract up there. I wont know anyone up in that area, so just thought I would see if anyone on the forum was in that sort of area.
I will be bringing my corsa up in around 6 weeks so I will be driving around stirling etc in it at nights and weekends. I have loads to do to it and will be travelling down every weekend to finish the project off then I will bring it bak up to Killin with me when its finished!!

I'm from stirling/falkirk area buddy, stirling town centre used to be busy with cars but the main car park that was used to have a meet is now closed. Springkerse retail park is now used on the out skirts.
If you want a proper meet then the Falkirk cruise is the one to go for, its on the first thursday of the month at the wheelhouse car park and if its a good dry night like the last one there is hundreds and I mean hundreds of cars that turn up from all over scotland. The car park is heavily policed and theres traffic cops in unmarked cars all the way into the town centre which is where every one goes once the police close the road at the wheel car park as its so busy.

I look forward to that! I will have to use my mk5 fiesta for the first few weeks/months until I get the corsa finished!
What are the police like up there? I just get hassle everytime I go out in the corsa down here! Every single time I was out I got stopped! Just routine checks but the car has hardly moved at all since its last mot!
I am looking forward to moving up to Killin, Maybe see you all about somewhere!!
Thanks for the replys

Police are laid back, good open roads with no speed camera apart from the odd camera van. You'll love it, the roads areound Killin/callander/comrie/crieff are amazing

haha, I hope there are loads of big straights on these roads as my car tends to just go straight on when you try and corner! The joys of having a 3 litre up front!!

So you'll be going up the way instead of towards Stirling lol.
The road from Killin into stirling has a VERY long straight with 1 roundabout in between it lol.
Lochearnhead aint far from you as well and is very busy this time of year, i'm just back yesterday from there camping all weekend and out in the mates speedboat.

Lol I will just be cutting trees down for about 14 hours a day around the Crainlarich area. I was meant to be up this week but I have had to get some repairs done to my harvester so it has set me back almost 2 weeks!
I am not sure if the corsa is coming with me now, I just bought a clean civic so I am thinking of putting a turbo on it and selling the corsa but who knows what will happen lol!
