Well, thats Aberdeen Scoobies Santa Cruise over for this year!
And yeah, Was all more than worth it...
The day started just before 11am, when after a call from Ari (Kloon) for a few volunteers to load some booty into their cars from the Secrect bunker - nearly everyone turned up! then onto the meeting point at the Duthie park, where the cars were dressed, and not cleaned - Seems car washes are hard to come by these days... Also, we were joined by Andy, who made the journey up this morning, despite the tinsel drought, and who I think is going to be heading home tonight also...? Thanks for making the journey mate! think the total was something like 18 imprezas (and an Audi) turned up for the event...
Once everyone was done milling about, a few photo's taken, so on and so forth, we rolled... with a help from some friends, we bloked the road off and piled out of the park as one noisey mob! only to get split up as soon as we hit the first junction... and then the next junction - rinse repeat... the run though town might also have been more effective if aberdeen's traffic light system was not geared towards breaking up mass meetings... but the run down Union Street went otherwise well, we rolled revved and honked our horns all the way down, and all the way to the hospital for that matter, where we arrived, and Santa ran away... were not really sure where Simmie was going, but he did Have Santa in the car with him, he did however come back so all was not lost...
Faced with the next dilema, parking... it was decided that we would put the cars just anywhere, as it seems, no one thought about where to put 20 imprezas once we got there... It was messy, but we all got stopped, and the ambulance route was not blocked!
Que photos galore, and few happy kids a lot of happy Hospital staff, we ended up in the kiddies Play area where we handed over the 2 nintendo Wiis amongst the other stuff, and also got one of them set up already - although, they are not letting anyone play till they can secure the 2 new ones!
I know JohnS got some good pics, and I think that Arthur (mrToad might have too) I myself only really got photo's of the meet beforehand, at the Duthie park, as once again, I thought better than to take my camera in again, theres only so many cameras you can have in the one place!
But I'll post a few of my pics here....
