aye, andy you rascal! kinda wish I wasnt polite and said hello, could see from the 4th post on the thread how it would develop...

never mind, it works now

stewart, the clip doesnt play, just get the circular loading icon thing

looking for high resolution pictures of either our emergency meet in Lanark on Sun 16 September or from the Service of Celebration on Sun 30 September, to accompany my article for True Grip. Can those that took nice/decent pics email them to me at micra_wrc AT yahoo.co.uk. Need them by Wed 10 Oct. thanks.

you get used to our weird ways after a bit

pleased you got your log on sorted Jon and it was nice catching up with you on Sunday. must admit I saw scooby kev before I saw you... but its only cos ur a little fella say hi to Nic and the boys, hope Jake has been looking after his imaginary horses LoL

congratulations Billy, hope the new mum and dad are doing well. Does the baby have a name yet? Does Jean still have ideas about having your ain wee one??

good compilation Andy. I really shouldnt have watched that during work - I've got mascara running down my face now

I think those folk dont understand the full impact of losing Colin (and others) and may just think you are jumping on the bandwagon. i'm keeping my tribute stickers, black ribbons on mirror and aerial on the car until they fall off, and will be adding the smaller signed sticker that Class A are doing on the panel next to my front driver side wheel, under the STi badge. Everytime I drive the scoob and see the ribbon round my mirror blowing in the wind, I get a surge of emotion and I dont want to forget that...

agree with Zeolite. Was thinking that, if we were to do an article, the tone of the writing should reflect the sombre mood, the incredible sadness of losing Colin, Johnny, Ben and Graeme and the awful shock that reverberated throughout the rallying world. I'll have a shot of writing something this weekend, I'll include our inpromptu but worldwide tribute the morning after the accident and also our attendance at the service held on Sunday. Would like to use some quotes posted on several threads here, as I think it will capture our reaction to losing Colin.

nearly choked on ma porridge there. gonna no say things like that

nowt wrong with a mere STi 555

I clicked this thread thinking it was a query about the place Callander in Stirling LoL There is normally a wall chart that comes with the Nov/Dec edition of True Grip. Gla region were also talking about producing a calender made up of member's cars but not sure how that is going.

that clip gets sexier every time I watch it I'm so glad we pulled that off! What an achievement. it can be an advert for Subaru

its been such a busy weekend that i've not had the chance to post up about Friday night. Nanaki hired a, ahem car, and we set off from Glasgow just after 6pm. After 3 hours on the road of talking, eating junk food and playing (and winning at) Mario Kart on the DS, we arrived at the venue just in time to catch the last bit of the food. Got a lift to cash machine in Zanders' yummy Type R and proceeded to buy some drinks, raffle tickets and funny money to gamble. I'm ecstatic that I won the 1st prize in the raffle, my RA is going on track baby!! Also won a bottle of vodka in the smaller raffle, which I proceeded to serve to folk sitting at the table. Was accused the next day of starting a drinking competition with Reizer's mother in law ) We were shattered by midnight and decided to give going clubbing in the town a miss. It was a top night, had good banter with everyone and I had a great time

gee Neil you have missed a lot... there's been tons of selling and buying going on

I wave to every scoob I see and usually get a wave or an acknowledgment in return actually, i wave, flash and beep the horn if its a scoob i recognise. And i'm getting better at spotting them earlier LoL

great video Stewart - the sight and sound of us setting off is giving me goosebumps! any more video footage? unfortunately the footage from the lead car didnt quite turn out the way we wanted it to - got 10 mins of me sitting stationary in Happendon as Grant started recording a bit too early

i just want to clarify that my passenger Nanaki who was on the phone to Noel

good to see you got home ok John I'm so pleased you managed to bring such a strong contingent of scoobs with you.. high praise indeed from the madman that organises the Northern Big One good writeup by the way, LoL at "As always military precision was applied..." thanks Ally for posting the links to news articles... the power of the internet, eh? 6 hours after the event and it is already online. STV have put together footage:)

Just in after the Service. Well done Grant for the few words he gave before we set off, for organising the Cumbrian and Tyne Tees scoobs - think Lord Harding brought 25 scoobs with him, loved the white Classic RA with full front rally-style lights and also for directing the stragglers that were running late or got caught up in traffic Well done Ally B for liaising with the police and event organisers - the convoy went very smoothly and it felt so good driving along in the police escort and seeing the traffic stopped for us. Thanks too, to Strathclyde Police, they have been so cooperative and friendly in the run up and during this. Thanks to those that travelled from England and Wales to meet us, even had a v2 555 from West Midlands, complete with the rally livery stickered up with the full monty New Zealand rally '95. Thanks to ScoUK for providing and fitting the stickers for me, and also the fella from Cumbrian Scoobs that gave me the long ribbon for my aerial The convoy to Lanark was an unbelievable sight, a snake of scoobs winding its way through the valley. It brought a lump to my throat and i found it difficult to keep my eyes on the police traffic car in front of me The Service aptly celebrated the lives of Colin and Johnny and it was a privelage to watch some family footage of them, at christmas time and also Johnny in his school nativity play. It made me smile to see Johnny donut-ing his wee buggy when prompted by his dad It was very emotional but also a very happy service. Pleased to be a part of it, I think we made scooby history today. Rest In Peace Colin, Johnny, Ben and Graeme

If Grant and I aren't there by 1215 head without us and we'll see you at Happendon 12 noon at Bothwell services southbound for departure at 12.15 Arrive Happenden Services 12.45. 1. Squiggly 2. imy 3. coulty 4. Corsa 5. Richie Cross + stewartyboy 6. Cal ( depending on where and when you'll meet up ?) 7. Oz *sti* aka Alan + Lynda ( depending where) 8. COLZO 9. marky.t.s(if its bothwell) 10. karps 11. Ed-209

yeah, Subaru attire or Scottish Scoobies clothes is fine. Kilts even better!

Welcome. Keep an eye on the Event sub-section in Scottish Scoobies. Spooks is the Edn/Lothian RO and they usually meet every month at the Beefeater in Livingston. and i guess they keep to legal speeds when pootling about town
