Chap in a Grey Ford Focus CC on a 57 plate. his name is Alan

:giggle:

will have to hold my tongue, I think the focus CC is possibly one of the worst looking cars out there! I hope he has the roof DOWN ;)

wonder if it will break down somewhere on the run ? :p

Roof down.... and whether he'll be able to keep up :D

Not renowned for their performance and road-holding really, given that it weighs about as much as the QE2 due to the roof mechanism.

Hope he's not reading this ;)

Have fun guys emoticon-0148-yes.gif

Could you all bring your 2 gig SD cards with you as I may make it to Hawick or Selkirk, need to fill up RNS 510 with tunes :thumbup:

The best place to get everyone in at Selkirk is in the swimming pool car park along Duns-dale road

It's a 2.0 TDCI cc, and yes I would guess he would have the roof down.

Skippy41 - Not sure where that is in Selkirk mate I know the NGT down near the car garages just as you come into Selkirk would be coming into Selkirk would guess about 10am to 10.15am if that is ik if you want to meet there??

I'm still meeting at TD9 9NQ at 10:30 right?!

not sure if the A7 is the best road, guy at work travelled to gala this week and took ages, road works apparantly and had to go round some narrow farms tracks to there. There's not may camera's on the A68 then you can join the A7 just outside Gala again.

Sharkrider - Yeah still ok to meet there, Selkirk is only 15 mins drive from Hawick so we won't be too far behind I estimate we should should be there 10.45am.

Nokiauk - No worries maybe blast down the A68 then I never knew there was any roadworks on the A7, think most of the camera's are not working on the A68, but I'm not taking you down the surprise road (suggestion of Mike B) that can lead to Gala, will just skip that part until the end of the drive.

;):rofl:

Right folks I'm just heading offline the now....

NokiaUk & Can I will be meeting at the melville inn Lasswade on the outskirts of Edinburgh at say 9.15am

Skippy41 - If you are coming can we meet you at the NGT near to the car garages just as you come into Selkirk say 10.00 to 10.15am, then we will head to Hawick and meet up with Sharkrider say 10.30 to 10.45am and then head out for the drive at 11am.

Looks like it's going to be a good day, rain to start but will clear to leave a nice day.

See you all tomorrow.

Davy

Hope you have a good run!

Sorry I can't make it (yet again) but I'm working away every week just now and I have loads to do this weekend. It'll be like this for quite some time I think!

Well done and nice to see you's again.

Thought I'd seen you just as I'd left morrisons, how did you know we were there? or was it just by chance?

Just back myself, stopped off at my friends down in Galashiels on the way back to see his car being rebuilt and seeing the progress, think we got back about 6pm.

Can - Think I spotted you stuck in the one way system of gala on my way back.

The route today - mostly never driven on these roads before, so it was good to experiance some new roads and quite surprised how punchy the 1.4 TDI is, giving the car a rest now until Monday.

Thanks to all who came I actually thought the weather was going to be rubbish today!

Davy

I though I'd try and catch you lot when you stoped for lunch as I was late in leaving
