Went out on a final recon of the route today with Ian...what can I say...

Well if you want a sneak preview have a look here...(not to dial up friendly)

Ian's Run

Sorry Ian could not resist... :mexwave:

Great route btw, bring you camera and be in awe of our great british road builders.

As we are travelling from foreign fields, would any of the natives like some shinny baubles delivered - real pies, Forfar bridies, OVD rum, Haggis, or will the explorers just bring the usual, broken mirrors and coloured beads to impress the local chief and womanfolk?

:bup:

[tavia4x4]

I think you should bring...

Enough petrol for 40 miles (optimax station at 35 )

Sunglasses for low sun!

Map.

Munchies.

PMR radio if you have em.

Water wings

Airborne control surfaces

[sixtysixofonehundred]

we are on our way

Shouldn't that be to prevent snow blindness?

Map? Aren't you giving us a route to follow?

PMR packed, also 1 spare if anyone wants to borrow one

Water wings? I've got tyres full of air, do they count?

Airborne control surfaces? Do we need them for what I think I need them for?

[tavia4x4]

weather forecast is overcast, no snow we hope!

Yup, you'll get notes, but if you get lost..........

As for control surfaces, umm, well, up to you to spot crests

[TaviaRS]

Did you mean to put this?

pies would be excellent, do you accept foriegn currency?

[BAAHEED]

I think I have unearthed a cunning conspiracy by a few 4x4 drivers to lure us RS drivers into unhabitable roads where there superior ground clearance will dominate and render our cars useless with cracked sumps, torn spoilers and bumpers we'll be like daleks going down stairs, we're doomed :shock:

[funkyjutel]

Well my RS has already had a fight with a pavement siding today which resulted in a nice bad scrape across the bottom of the front spolier and a nice bit of cracked paint.

There was me thinking I would be bringing a near immaculate car with me on Sunday, ah well that's what you get for being an everyday driver!! :cry:

The 4x4's are on their own down dodgy roads!! :!:

[Delcac]

Andre,

When they say *KEEP DEATH OF THE ROAD*, it doesn`t mean you have to drive on the pavement. :driving:

Sorry mate!

[tavia4x4]

heh, it's a varied route cross country, some flowing fast sections will favour the RS's, some twisty bits may favour the 4x4's, neither will struggle and you should not see any cracked spoilers etc! :shock:

Bear in mind there will only be two 4x4's... :( We'll be sulking in the corner

[ross]

Of course I'm talking about the Euro 2008 bid which should be announced shortly and not stirring up any England v Scotland nonsense...... (hell, I was born in Derbyshire!!!)

Anyway, have a great day out :roll: (not fair!!) - any of you lot (DMAC, baaheed, 66 etc fancy a real Scottish meet sometime? I don't know the roads around Edinburgh to well yet so haven't found any particularly fun routes......but still looking!!

PS Duncan - as a Berwick man where do your loyalties lie - with a name like that I would guess North of the Border.........

[Huck]

duncan,

sorry to hear that you may not be able to make it this time.

oh well, it's a given that there will be plenty more.

[Dmac1969vRS]

Ross

Dont let the name fool you , I was born in Sunderland so Im an England fan...but I have some Scots blood in me ( Fathers family from Glasgow area originally) , and i get all emotional while listening to pipe bands :lol: ..especially 'Flower of Scotland'! Oh and mothers family originate from Ireland way back when , so thats 3 teams i get to support ... PS about Euro 2008...would they have used Murrayfield also?

I wish I could make it this Sunday , but working 6 days a week and getting up at 5AM each morning means i look forward to my Sunday lie in , especially at this dreadfull time of the year with hardly any daylight!! If it was a bit closer to home i may have been able to make it. I will definately come to a meet sometime next year , hopefully after xmas I will be back to a 5 day week and will have 2 days each weekend to choose from! If there is going to be a Scottish/North East meet sometime I will be up for that , as in my Capri days I used to be in Capri Club Scotland which met in Edinburgh for a pub meet monthly , and travelled to various shows exhibiting our cars ...
