Even managed a magnificent 27.9 mpg on the way up to Inverness then it was into thirsty mode lol covered a grand total of 637 miles

We had a brilliant weekend ,and yes I agree it was good to meet everyone and a big thanks to Dave & Al for organising the 'fling' sorry bobby and team for not convoying back home, tam and I got lost in inverness looking for that shell station that just some how disappeared of the face of the earth.

[ciaranrb5]

Looks like fun. I will make the next one if it kills me

[micra_wrc]

my pics are on Tommos thread.

what a way to start the summer season

an amazing weekend with fabulous company, excellent roads, perfect weather (only had 3 rain showers and a hail shower) and quiet roads.

Many thanks to Dave and Al for organising this weekend, I think it improved on last year's Skye run.

The hotel was excellent, facilities were great, food was brill and the bed was comfy.

Well done Dave for getting us such a good group rate, I told the woman at checkout that they'll probably get some repeat visitors from our group.

That Applecross road is crazy, though I can't believe how narrow the road got, plus with no barriers, the steep drop down the rocky mountain seemed too close at some points.

From what I saw, the quality of driving was great and I think we got nods, thumbs up and co-operation from other road users.

Very happy with the event, don't think many would disagree if we used the roads + format again for next year.

[GG_STI]

A great weekend had by all. Some people require their pilots licence before the next one!!!! Thanks to Dave for organising. Didn't know we had such amazing roads. Anyone know a good body shop. Do they do a GROUP BUY????????????

[the squiggle]

Best weekend i have had behind the wheel in any vehicle in a very long time

Gratitude to Dave and al for the sterling preperation work that went into making a fantastic weekend even more fantastic

Molly also thanks you, EEEEEE OOOOOOOO

Got to be same again next year

Managed to capture about 30 gig of footage so will sift through the literally hours of stuff over the next day or 2 and take it from there.

Banana never missed a beat all weekend and it answered every question it was asked with a very positive answer. She still goes well on the 95 ron map and at one point i had to switch the boost controller off on the Applecross rd as 1.4bar is way to much for a road like that

Great to meet some old faces and some new ones too

[Midnight21]

Here is a few of my pics...from my Iphone lol

The drive up to Inverness on Friday...spot the CATCH up

The Hotel at Ullapool

The Lost Boys lol

[kebab nemesis]

Have to reitterate the comments about the weekend, great roads, hotel, banter, food and company, bring on next year (will we see an appearance of DJ Bobby?) Does anyone else think that no amount of photoshop editing would get rid of Irish Ala red eye?

[RA Dunk]

WTF's up with this blokes shirt? crazy shirt for crazy person?

[empty_heed]

[scooby222]

fantastic roads,great cars and the best bunch of people you could hope to meet, even the hatch brigade

more thoughts to come when my brain starts working again but MASSIVE thanks to everyone who came,its nothing without you lot and also a very large pat on the back for the standard of driving throughout the weekend, exemplary by all

great to meet so many new faces and old friends - so shall i start planning for next year,same time same place anyone??

[hosstheboss]

Got to say a big thanks to Dave and Al and everyone else who was there. Really enjoyed it and look forward to the next one. Same time, same place would definately suit me again and maybe everyone would mangage to go the right places next time!!

[badbaz]

A great weekend, great roads and some stunning (although barren) scenery.

Here's the moment when Grant was adopted by a donkey called Molly(sp?) - it's a wee shame - for the donkey!

The Lost Boys lol

I might have guessed Rich would have a beer in his hand

[brianm]

Yeah - it was a great weekend, hats off to Dave and Al for the route and the arrangments for the meal, SSSOOO much easier thean last time?! Good to meet the familiar and not so familiar faces too.

To be honest i've been thinking of seling my scoob for a while; I thought I was getting bored of 4WD - the car getting a bash in Winter made me decide to sort it and keep it a while longer.

Me :-

But on the road to Applecross and the drive North of Poolewe it all made sense again, then it started raining and it made perfect sense. There's no other car I would rather driven, and not much else as capable and fun in those roads and weather condtions.

I think i'll keep it for a while yet!

Man can never get lost, man has just not found where he is going yet.

Going the wrong route was part of our plan to get to the bar first

BRILLIANT weekend, thanks to everyone who made it happen.

Dave/Al - Applecross for the next Inverness/Moray run lol?????

Rich

[nkwrx]

Just like to reiterate what everyone else has said already......FANTASTIC weekend in every aspect.

Dave and Al, Looks like next years plan is already pretty much done.

[scouk]

No Doubt that was a great weekend! Great roads, great scenery, great accomodation, great cars and great weather! (well someone did mention snow )

Despite this, theres still things which we can do to improove on for next time Seems plans are already going ahead..

Can't wait to see some of these videos that will be floating around Didn't manage to take many piccies myself but will try throw a few up when I get the chance

Just want to thank everyone who made it along and made it such a fantastic weekend away! Been months since I've had a chance to drive the SCoob properly and by god I'm paying for it now.. Woke up this morngin with a sore neck on the left hand side! Totally worth it though! I guess those toyo's are really doign their job and keepign the car stuck to the road on the long swooping bends

Thanks everyone! HOpefully wee can keep the numbers growing for next year

[irish al]
