Road from Fankerton to Fintry.

[shaun_odonnell]

One of my favorite roads, especially @ 6.00am. []

Enjoy.

Thought you were going to go fast!!!

[shaun_odonnell]

It's not the widest of roads I must admit. Better at night when you can see headlights of on-coming cars.

[sharon_mccall]

I know that road well. It's not that wide, and as you say much better at night. Good fun all the same.[]

[shaun_odonnell]

It's a good wee run on one tank of Optimax.

Into Fintry, turn right out to Kippen, turn left onto the Gargunnock road, turn right at Arnprior and down past Lake of Menteith, at Port of Menteith turn left and into Aberfoyle. Straight through and up and over the Dukes pass toward Loch Katrine, right at the junction, along the road towards Callander. From Callander on towards Stirling and let the car cool down from Prudential until McDonalds where breakfast awaits. Then back home to wash all the dead bugs off the front of the car.

i was in glasgow the other day, came back over the crow road and rite into fankerton! awsome, done some nice overtakes on crow road, went down inside of a chav saxo on a corner (clear view of the oncoming road of course) god i need to remember am not doing a rally stage of  GT4.

It was on that very same road, going in the opposite direction though heading towards Lennoxtown, when I realised I needed new brakes. Sh8t myself at the bend at the car-park, had nothing under the middle pedal. []

There's one or two cars lying down in the valley, wasn't wanting to make mine the third.

[terzo neil]

i work in balfron just up the road, need to try that road some time

[shaun_odonnell]

Glad there's other that appreciate these roads. I'll certainly be in touch about a wee run. Perhaps get a few numbers and locals interested. But have to be early hours to be safe. Although that doesn't stop the cattle being on the roads. Was faced one morning with some Impreza loving highland cows. Think I woke them up.

Yeah, thats the very bit of road. See they've put up 30 signs along there now. Bit disapointing, but safer for those that live there. That sounds like a good wee run, but I wouldn't get my brakes warmed up on such a small jaunt. Fancy the run that I've described earlier in this thread sometime?

[weeb]

just back from glasgow!! ripped this road on way there, OMG a was taken over by GT4, i keep having to remind myself am no playing a game!!! wow, wot a road, gearbox aint gonna last long driving like that tho!!!

yeah, a run incorporating these roads will be magic! anytime buddy!

[shaun_odonnell]

I'll try and arrange something really soon. Posted a convoy thread for Falkirk members on the central meet thread. I'll see what response that gets and make arrangements based on that.
