Stevie I felt nothing but pride when I ficked onto Sky News and watched a parade of Subaru driving up the hill near McRaes home. Well done guys, it brought more than a tear to my eye. Has ayone seen this freakishly chilling news... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/6997784.stm Link to comment
dram300 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Folks, thank you for appropriately representing the thoughts of Scooby owners. I think I heard the BBC reporting the event as an "emotional tribute". A sad time for all of the families concerned, our collective thoughts are with all of them. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it to Lanark in time but it was a good sight to see you all arriving at sandyholm later on, we counted around 13 cars in the car park. Hope the fella in the black jacket found the M74 to Cumbernauld alright. Link to comment
teocalli Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) A good turnout and a fitting tribute by all today. Grant (Squiggel), thanks for organising this, I feel immensely privilaged to have taken part. You done the club proud. Teo. Edited September 16, 2007 by teocalli Link to comment
micra_wrc Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 No, you're not alone. Steve. fab pic. Pleased that the sun was shining when that was taken, not too pleased that we're all squinting in the photo LoL! Link to comment
kloon Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Excellent gesture folks, would have loved to have joined you but just a tad far away. Seen it on the news, very poignant. Was really looking forward to going to watch the great man in action at the McRae rally in a fortnight. Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I looke like I'm squeezing one out in that photo. Today for me was what the club was all about. Comradery, friendship and driving damn good cars. I think we done the big man proud. Absolute pleasure to call each and everyone of you my friends. Link to comment
