badbaz Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 WHAAAAAT? No CONVOY? By Sunday evening, if anyone even mentions a convoy, they'll be punched senseless!! Although thinking about it, even from Perth it's a good 2hrs up there and probably 4-5h driving thereafter... might get a bit saddlesore! Friday nighter in Inverness probably for the best You know it makes sense kid. Bit early for a convoy thread JUST yet (although I'm sure Derek will disagree - good on ya if you do *chuckle*) Poor Del, just likes a wee 10-4 rubber ducky! MORE importantly, am leaving the wife and kids at home and am flying solo on this one... am therefore up for a room-share if anyone else is... both for Inverness and Ullapool. Am happy to book it if whoever lets me know. So this time I'll be able to use the throttle Glyn, instead of just tickover?

Although thinking about it, even from Perth it's a good 2hrs up there and probably 4-5h driving thereafter... might get a bit saddlesore! .... yeah it was a bit of a long day. last year, we travelled up on the Saturday morning, think it was a 0630 departure from Stirling, and I was falling asleep mid-Saturday afternoon at the tour of the distillery.

irish al Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Thats us booked up as part of the Subaru Lot as well I wonder if they appreciate the mayhem that will unfold
BalliSTIc Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) So this time I'll be able to use the throttle Glyn, instead of just tickover? Aye... mind you, I've just spotted your revised post-signature... been flashing the cash have we? New MD321 turbo/ remap? You might STILL just need tickover! *lol* But we digress... C'mon, am needing a room-mate here to get this booked... PLEEEEEEASE? Edited February 21, 2010 by BalliSTIc
badbaz Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I've booked into the Premier Inn, the one closest to the centre of Inverness. I'm not staying in no bloody Travel Lodge, my car has more furniture in it! I want a bit of luxury at night, Premier Inn being like the Savoy in comparison! Derek - f**k you
scooby222 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) nice work guys,good to see such enthusiasm! better get mine booked sharpish lol il be up on the friday night too but staying with the parental unit timetable and as much details as il put up in public will be on here by the end of the week,fingers crossed. if people could pm or email me, dave222@tiscali.co.uk , with their mobile no. and car model/colour/distinguishing features once theyve booked thatd be great. looks like its going to be another big one! o did i mention dress code?....... Edited February 9, 2010 by scooby222
sczscoob Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 o did i mention dress code?....... Dave, i'm back offshore tomorrow. But in my spare time i'm going to look through every website to look for the best hawaiian shirt money can buy. I'm willing to spend at least £5.99 on one!! I've got a feeling this'll top last year, can't wait!!!

I want a bit of luxury at night, Premier Inn being like the Savoy in comparison!Derek - f**k you Moaning again and i will hold you [closely] to that So are we staying at the Travel Lodge or Premier Inn, Millburn Road..... the one with all the furniture as would rather stay in same place for a laugh at night, easy either way.
scooby222 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 top marks Wayne, youve got the idea- but why the big budget?? lol travel lodge has the better boozer, premiers closer to the town centre for those that fancy some disco dancing cough,Del, cough......
sczscoob Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 So i think the theme of the night is going to have to be Hawaiian night or Hawaiian shirt night!!
StrikE Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 The best hawaiian shirt money can buy. I'm willing to spend at least £5.99 on one!! You could theoretically buy two for that price , get me one too not XXL before he posts up Oh and Dave i would need to be seriously hammered before any disco dancing was to pass through my legs, wow i think i would need to drink at least..............2 pints
scooby222 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 ok anyone who hasnt already, if you all just phone and book yourself in quoting subaru as you do,they need final numbers 3 weeks before we arrive and theyve plenty of parking i do feel sorry for anyone who books and isnt part of our lot lol
cullenmin Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Booked up. Its the lassies Birthday that day too and she wants a card, oh me, group bday card from the scooby nuts perhaps? Rich
hosstheboss Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I go to Ullapool every July with a works "outing" thing and there are some great pubs with this being probably the best for "fun"! http://www.theseaforth.com/ A mate of mine has stayed in the Royal Hotel and said it was great but it's a we hike into / back from the town center. AND IT WILL RAIN!!
