Indeed, nice to meet all the usual faces and a few new ones as well. Grant Imy and Andy the route was fantastic thank youface-icon-small-smile.gif

The standard of driving was very good even with the unhinged group, I cant really see any reason for the police to be upset, other than a show of force because a car club was out, and all the subarus together would mean they had to show face.

Higgy your car was really moving along quite well compared to the last time I saw it you must be really chuffed.

Chris, your graphics are really unique, and the system works doesnt it!face-icon-small-wink.gif

Swiggy, glad to see you werent sea sickface-icon-small-wink.gif

Pete (Fai) always nice to see you and the family.

Carps, I still think you look like Ron Jeremy. Whens your son getting a haircut and joining the army?

Playsatan, cheers for the booster and the lotion, I will mix it with coke later.

Victor, nice tatoo face-icon-small-wink.gif

i was quite impressed with the way peter (imprezapete) was letting me treat his car, think the poor things still trying to recover.

glad the good old millenium falcon lived to tell the tale, heres to the next tale.

Yeah !!!

thanks guys - was an awsome day....

think we got every type of weather, sun splitting pavements, monsoons, hail, 2"snow and drifts !!

driving was great - better route than loch lommond last year, got lost a couple of times but regained convoy at the petrol station near ballater.

The GT4, although completely standard gave a good account for itself, especially with the sh!!ty mixed tyres which made for some interesting handling.... face-icon-small-happy.gif

best bit was when i was behind a red scob and infront of a blue one (both classics) on route back in stage 3 - TD Focus trying to have a go was a laugh, awkward 8ugger so he was, hes wife soon sorted him out though after he caaught some air :lol.

thanks again,

nyle -looking forward to the next one!

Same as all the above, the best 50 quid every spent. The guy in the focus was a classic when his car took off and then his wife read him the riot act. Good to meet everyone.

Ok - explain why Gumball spent £125 then

I arrived in perth with a full tank and spent a further 50.

Best 100 quid i have ever spent.face-icon-small-tongue.gif

You guys have a good run today then? I seen at a guess about 30 scoobs face-icon-small-shocked.gif between Grantown and Cromdale Around the 3 o clock time, Only car I could put a name to was Miss scooby. I was going the other way on the bike getting wet!!! God I need a scooby again face-icon-small-tongue.gif Fantastic to see ( and hear face-icon-small-wink.gif ) a good turn out like that though.

Great day face-icon-small-smile.gif

special thanks to Higgy face-icon-small-smile.gif for taking me on a tour of the highlands ,and then us 2 trying to play catch up with the group after the fuel stop in Elgin.

Thanks to Grant and Imy for the route and the effort they put into it .

might be worth while getting an optimax tanker to meet us the next time face-icon-small-smile.gif

kids enjoyed it , telling their mum how a "nutter" in a black scooby kept overtaking everything face-icon-small-smile.gif

till the next time face-icon-small-smile.gif

Big thanks to all that showed up.

Sorry about the massive miscalculation on the fuel front

If i say so myself, damn fine roads we have in this country and thanks to me for picking them.

Doriken that was me in the red scoob up against the TDCi Focus that thought it was full WRC spec and Scoobkev, sorry i left foot brake a lot, dont actually scrub any speed just makes the car feel a bit more stable. I know it must annoy the hell out of peeps following me thinking "what the hell you braking for noo" and i should have a sticker on the back explaining....sorry

Good thing about the weather in the Highlands, if you dont like it wait 20 mins and it is sure to change.

Good to see so many nice cars with particuler mention to eastfifetyke and that bodykit......WOW

Funny bit with the fat lazy pidgeon at Tomintoul, so fat it could not fly with a Type-R ready to flatten it

Highlights for me were the Br of Cally to Braemar, the Lecht road and Braemar to Cally on the return.

From Glasgow to Glasgow about 450 miles, 14 hours and 60 quid of fuel.

The RED DRAGON, lol, performed admirably even on unleaded Texaco cr*p in the tank

Good bit of grub at Perth with Jacqui and Gee WR1, pleasure to meet you Gee and fine brief you have there, and thanks to Jacqui's brother for helping his sister get to the "ball"

Cheers Tam for the roll and bacon at Dufftown, nifty wee bit of kit there.

Edited for being untactful!

Grant and Imy

Anyone free at the end of August, got an idea.............face-icon-small-smile.gif

using swiggis sign in details------

I used a large quantity or fuel for some reson today as he said.

1 tank optimax

1 tank bp ultimate

half tank of ali baabas finest half way (poor admin)

half tank of some texaco standard

1 borrowed gallon of optimax from Billyboy

1 free bottle of octance booster from GR555 to keep the car on the road

3 cans of red bull

the craziest navigator this side of texas LOL

a serious urge to sleep at the end

a random piece of breakdust in my mince pie!!!!!!!! or was it ash from the 30 lungbusters i had during the day?

and thats not to mention a requirement for a full brake replacement ( i should have used the chavvy fire extinguisher in the pax footwell!!!! LOL

Overall i had a great day. For people that got a fright as the dethstar passed them out of the blue (sorry) thats the spirit of the gumball though. I use the system.

Overall i had a fantastic day, met some more good folk and can only apologie for having to turn 180 degrees the other way a couple of times during the run,

Next time though im going to sit at the back and take it easy

Cheers
