reading that article made me then when it mentions Aberdeen Scoobies. All the best for Saturday and good on you guys for making this happen. Is anyone else apart from Santa dressing up? Midland Scoobies managed to book The Stig for the day!

agreed Yorkhill has a very specific Public Relations process - they write a press release and issue it to all the papers. Whether anyone decides to pitch up and get some footage is down to the individual publication. Going by the last couple of years, we only get minimal coverage in the national press. I emailed some pictures and brief article to the Metro freepaper and also the BBC's In Pictures on Sunday night but not heard anything back yet. Dont know what else to do to increase awareness of Santa Cruise

although it is listed as being on Eurosport just now, its not some daft motorsport-crashes programme instead edit - started now, 15:24

seeing as I've taken them anyway, some more pics and any captions for this one...

great pics Nik, love the arty shot of the bonnet scoops with tinsel and dancing lights

my major "omg this is going to go horribly wrong " factor today were the bikers were arriving before we parked up resulting in a humoungous traffic jam at Yorkhill... luckily we were out their way when they rumbled in... I've never seen such a parade of fabulously decorated bikes and riders before and this one was playing christmas carols

well done folks, what a day of christmas cheer we're spreading across the country pat on the back to Scott, Rosie, DougieC & everyone involved in buying presents and also those that turned up today

great day for us and for Yorkhill 12 scoobs turned up for this year's Santa Cruise and had such a wonderful day. The weather was perfect, such a difference from last year's lashing rain and wind. Burbling in convoy decorated to the hilt along the M8 was amazing. The faces in passing cars were great, everyone was pointing at us with their mouths open was having a giggle over the bits of blue tinsel flying everywhere things worked out with military precision once we arrived at the hospital and £2,500 worth of presents were quickly wheeched out from the cars and into trolleys, while the rest of us went to the car park (well, some went the wrong way to get there lol!) quick photo shoot later then we headed up to the canteen for a cuppa. Santa and Snow White went to one of the wards and handed out presents to the children there. Hopefully they can describe what happened, we werent allowed to take photos (obviously) Some of us that were still standing at the main entrance watched the bikers roll in, the noise was awesome. (will post some pics I managed to get of their parade) afterwards, most of us headed to the Harvester (via the Clyde Tunnel, again) for a slap up meal and blether Thanks to STi Pretender for his assistance in helping out and for being Santa - the Yorkhill women said that you were a natural Thanks also to David Patterson from Subaru UK for donating those 2 gorgeous wee bicycles and a bag of SWRT kids goodies. and we were NOT letting you get away from being tinsel-free today Big pats on the backs to everyone that participated some pics below

the "right shape" bit covers 90% of you aberdonians

good stuff guys. thats an excellent amount of cash hope you all have fun - now who's going to be Santa?? can't believe someone knicked a Wii from a children's hospital, shocking. but well done for providing 2 consoles for the hospital

ouch that car is pretty mangled empty_heed> sorry to hear about your accident. Pleased that you are still here with us and strong enough to adapt to whats happened

arrive at 1100 for 1145 departure on the dot ASDA Robroyston 1 Monument Drive G33 1AD click for map

5t, yes we'd love your help. See main thread. Robert Pretender, good stuff. folks, that's us at £2,500 so far woohoo Its going to be a busy morning at Yorkhill on Sunday, the bikers will be arriving soon after we get there so lets show them what Scottish Scoobies can do and set the bar for them

at least 6 "scooby sleighs" 1/ ally-b 2/ squiggle 3/ imy 4/ nanaki 5/ mic 6/ fivetide mic, fivetide, that would be fab if you guys could be a scooby sleigh. Meet me at the Harverster car park, Hillington, at 1015 on Sunday morning and I'll take you up to the Grotto

good stuff. So I guess Subaru UK have confirmed they are attending then!

haha I like it the models look quite fit like! Would have bought one if there were actually Imprezas in it

Merry Christmas CADS. Drive safe, have fun and try not to kill the relatives

well at least it will be drier than last year's monsoon - it was lashing it down still looking for 5m of tinsel, most places I've tried only sell 3m or 4m

which car slim? the beemer?

I voted yes rally graphics would look good on any colour of car, as long as they look like real McCoy rally car. I dont like the street-racer-plaster-manufacturers-names-all-over-the-car look, too chav and Fast-and-Furious for me (and tbh, our street racing scene is nothing like the states so graphics like that are not appropriate and just look daft)

aww Iain thats a lovely post. Pleased you've enjoyed your time so far at SIDC and got involved in the many things that we do. Merry Christmas to you and your family too *hug* PS - not sure if you're selling the scoob, but don't!

cheers Alan, rescheduled so that we are at Yorkhill for 1230. edited to add that we are working out a new route seeing as George Square & surrounding area will be closed on Sunday morning for the 5k Santa Dash 3,000 Santas running around Glasgow Please make sure you arrive at [the correct] Asda for 11am to hear the revised route and final arrangements

at least 6 "scooby sleighs" 1/ ally-b 2/ squiggle 3/ imy 4/ nanaki all classics, are the boots in new ages bigger?
