Default FAO anyone who knows the Glasgow area...

Might be going up to Paisley (Glasgow) at some point this week or next so will obviously fly up there (far cheaper and quicker!!). Question is which airport in Glasgow do I need to get to? On the map it looks round the corner from 'Glasgow Airport' but have been told there are 2 airports there??

Any ideas?!

Cheers
Chris

Not Prestwick, which is probably the 'other' airport.

Yes go to Glasgow Airport, not Glasgow Prestwick, which is Ayrshire about 35 miles from Paisley, Glasgow Airport is just next to Paisley, so about 5 mins in a taxi

Is it a red one by any chance?
I remember one that sat in inchinan road in Paisley, google map these co-ordinates 55.855528, -4.427037 , and zoom in and you can see what may be a red F150. I know this as it has been there for a few years.
Also this is around 1 mile from Glasgow Airport, an easy 10-15 min walk, or 2 mins in a taxi

Yup that is indeed the one!! Been chatting to his friend and he said he's right by the airport. Guy who owns the rental place (Matt?) has owned it from new.

If I buy it got a nice long journey (and expensive!!!!) back to Essex!!
