A great day out

[shaun_odonnell]

Loved that Lancia

Here here, respect to the only Left Hand Drive car on the run, bet that was fun when overtaking!!!!!

[scoobyfuzzy]

[st3ph3n]

I'm shattered, but everything seems to be running fine.

Knocking could be from that huge pothole out the back of carnwath before the railroad crossing. I think the clio stopped on the road in front of the middle group might have been a victim of it too.

Just a few stone chips from the several times it seemed like it was raining stones, worth it though.

I have a squeal coming from the drivers rear brake after my "cough" sideways "cough" excursion off the roundabout.  Will take a look at it during the week to see what damage I've done.  Sounds as if I have warped/ mishaped the rear somehow, but only squeaks when doing 2-4mph.

I got my first stone chip [] A proud moment...

another thing i meant to say,  that tractor

that grant stood on, i passed it just comin into dundee he peeped as i

went passed and had a huge smile on his face

we passed him on our way back to glasgow and he waved and flashed his lights [Y]

squirrel said that the driver was cool about him climbing on top of the

tractor, driver was going to stop and take some pics of the scoobs

anyway[]

[Big Daz]

Saw Squirrel & his group at the roundabout at Peebles heading towards Inverleithen (sp), was most surprised to be away on my aniversary weekend with Mrs Daz and to run into a load of scoobs []

The missus wouldnt let me turn round and follow, but if you were heading the roads I had just come from it must have been fun []

Daz []

[micra_wrc]

u should have got a bag of chips, pulled up a chair and waited daz......... the other 2 groups were behind them []

[scoobymark]

Excellent day out[]

Big thanks to those who spent alot of time to organise.

Thanks to squirrel for leading the way,  it was very spirited in some sections[]

Me and mark junior had a tip top day out!

He kept his side of the bargin, told his mum we were in the intermediate section[]  hope she does'nt see squirrels video footage of us passing him just before the end! 

[jimser]

[st3ph3n]

I saw it as we buzzed past and thought. "How the fook did that get up there".

Imy - it was actually after you had passed as it was on the road to crawford john and we'd obviously got sidetracked quite a bit before that and you'd got ahead.

[nanaki]

altho i did miss that crazy sheep that decided to play a game of chicken with the guy infront of me, soz cant remember ur name.

If you were in the spirited group then that would have been me.

So a fun day was had all round... hell of a 'spirited' way to break in a car I've only owned 9 days.

Highlight for me.... the initial up and down hills just after we left.

Getting all 4 wheels off the ground at once at one of those small bridges (entirly unintentional and crapped myself at the time but now I look back and think of it as fun)

Managing to keep the back of the car under controll (ish, ok... ish) as it clearly was getting away from me at some points, especially the new wet tarmac (or skid pan)

Oh yeah and of course meeting you all was also a blast.

Thanks to all who organised it and I can't wait for the next one. Although I think my car will be greatful of the breather.
