  1. Great pics Marky, pleased you managed to get a picture of Grant polishing L555BAT - he was at it non stop over the last 2 days. Colin's cars are probably the only ones you'll see him cleaning and polishing great to see those that visited the Vision stand, it makes a difference seeing a friendly face in the crowd. and many thanks to those that bought t-shirts and raffle tickets from us there was a rather dapper and well dressed fella at the stand yesterday, with a wee camera man and sound man in tow. started chatting to him in the hopes that he'll buy some gear. Managed to sell him some raffle tickets and it wasnt until he walked away and we looked at the raffle book stubs that we realised it was Jay Kay from Jamiroqui he's quite small in real life, just a tad taller than me!
  2. hee Gus I can actually hear your old brain cells ticking
  3. i want you to tell me that joke with the accent next time we meet
  4. well done for winning two trophies sounds like it was a good day and the weather was nice (for a change)
  5. I had to do a 300 mile round trip for a 30 minute meeting today. Client goes to me "did you drive up just for this?" I go "yup, and I dont mind " I love the burble from the RA and get a nice rumble, even at 60 mph. I don't even get het up about folk that overtake, I know the power is there if I need it. managed to do it in just over a tank too!
  6. that race track looks familar and N1 still sounds sexy as F***
  7. yeah heading home from Banbury. Sorry, didnt spot you Davie. we'd hoped the Toll road would take us past the phantom traffic jam between jns 15 and 17..... but it didnt we stopped at the services on that Toll road and eee it was posh! even John Major stopped for a pee and a coffee
  8. yes its "just" a car but to those that knew it, seen it, heard it, it is more than that. its hard to describe how significant it is to this club and what it means to those that know its history.
  9. was sorry when I heard a scoob went on fire and gutted to find out it was the Fat Boy not the kind of thing you want to happen to a friend, especially since you've invested so much in this special car. Glad that you and your passenger got out safely, hope you cope with this ok and that the aftermath gets sorted quickly can't imagine how you feel just now. imy x
  10. I'd like to nominate the Colin McRae Vision. The charity is now established and has started donating money to fund equipment purchases. Appreciate that the McRae Gathering did a big push for this but it always gets me that the lives of 2 little boys were lost in the helicopter accident as well as Colin. imy btw - what happened to the "Clubman of the Year award 2009"? Has it been awarded?
  11. ah right, I was looking to "sync" my photo camera roll to transfer pictures. cheers
  12. is there an easy way of transferring the photos I've taken on the iPhone to my PC? couldn't find anything obvious in iTunes and I've resorted to emailing them to myself...
  13. I did but was too feart to say anything in case Grant started to look at the steep drops down a stoney mountain Baz and Pete, great pics there, a perfect reminder of how rugged the terrain is
  14. one Highland fling once a year works for me, it gives me something to look forward to after a bleak winter and brings in the summer season quite nicely. I understand that the May date might not suit some folk and there's nothing to stop another 2 day event taking place later in the year, but I doubt I'll be able to afford to go to 2 fuel-thirsty weekends. although I'm such an event-addict I'll probably find some way to go to them a 1-day run and BBQ during a weekend worked well in the past, our runs got a good turnout. I really liked the hotel and the roads we did so voted for the same again. Plus Applecross is such a renowned driving road, we should make use of the fact that its on our doorstep and make it an annual pilgrimmage
  15. Grant's videos have been uploaded... the giggling is me, the creaking is the Banana's roll cage and the soundtrack is his exhaust Click for CLIP 2 - 4 min 30 an uninterrupted pass through Applecross imy
  16. Grant's videos have been uploaded... the giggling is me, the creaking is the Banana's roll cage and the soundtrack is his exhaust Click for CLIP 2 - 4 min 30 an uninterrupted pass through Applecross, 1st hairpin is 5 mins in imy
  17. patience my son, he' working on it you're antsy cos you know you were in front of us and will be on the footage Its proving a tad difficult uploading a 30 minute 5GB clip, he's had to split it into 3 mini clips and do them individually.
  18. 2 Updates, 4 May 2010 Update 1 - 'Vision' charity karting success The Vision entered 2 teams for the annual Yorkhill Children’s Foundation Go-Kart Grand Prix, and the event raised £12,000 This was a 2 hour endurance race at the Scotkart indoor karting arena in Cambuslang. Advised by Jim McRae, ex Suzuki British Superbike rider John Crawford captained Team 1 with team members Stevie Brown, David Bogie and David Wilson. Team 2 was made up of Jo Roy and Craig Dickson, as well as Craig’s dad Graham and his friend David MacLellan. Team 1 seemed to pick up black flags, time penalties, warnings of ‘carving up’ the opposition and overtaking manouvres during a yellow flag. However, these tactics seemed to work, as they finished in 1st place. Team 2 behaved a bit better and finished in 3rd place after starting in 7th. Update 2 - Subaru and the “Vision” Join Forces to Help With Emergency Response Car Subaru have donated a Subaru Forrester 4 wheel drive car to complement the newly equipped specialist Paediatric Intensive Care ambulance for Yorkhill that benefited from a donation earlier this year. The Forrester will act as an Emergency Response car to be used in situations where the ambulance is not available, not fast enough or not required. A full go-karting race report and more details of the Forrester can be found in this Link here. Imy
  19. aye there were a couple of deer under the trees there. I should have taken my time to get the shot, perhaps you guys would have caught up if I had
