Full licence since 1988 = 18 years. 6 points in total, first 3 about a month after passing [:$] Mind you, no strict rules back then about novice drivers, and 3 pts currently on licence for speeding in Dec 2003.

Blue newage STi, Reg: *** HOT, let you onto the Bridge of Dee heading south around 8.40am, I was driving a Grey Saab 93, anyone from here ?

Well yer car to be more precise ! Parked in Halfrauds on Wellington Road around half 2 [H] Not bad, taken what, 5 months, and i've finally spotted another SIDC member [] That wasn't you going up Great Southern Road past the Duthie Park about 45 mins later by any chance ? Didn't catch the reg that time.

Never had the chance to own one, but i've always wanted a MK11 RS2000 or a Mexico.

Sorry to hear about your loss Gus, Cancer is a respecter of no-one and a horrible, horrible disease. Condolences to you and your family.

Hope for the lads sake the guy thats leading the bidding just now isn't the winner.

Hmmm Livi supporters bus raises 90 quid eh ? So that was 45 quid each then ? [] Nah only jesting mate, thats great news. BTW you aint that flamin drummer are ye ? []

Bang on SS, seen about 4 just making my way home from work alone. Like you say, WIY'ing them all would take ages, nice to see though I wonder how many know about the SIDC, maybe worth getting some flyers made up.

Going up the Denburn this morning and onto Skene Square, lovely Metallic Grey RB5 that sounded the bollocks, was behind it in a Saab 9-3, anyone off here ? End of plate had AA in it.

Aye, that's where we were when we found out, as we walked up to Scolty Forest. Sad sad thing to happen on what was a cracking day an all.

For what it's worth from Stage 3: All I got as unfortunately the Rally was cancelled after that stage due to one of the drivers being killed on stage 2 [] Dunno what happened but rumour at Rally HQ was that there was a bend on SS2 where a few cars had gone off, this lad had gone off at same spot and was outside his car when he got hit by another. (Apologies if this is totally wrong, was what my mate was told by a driver he knew in the rally) Condolonces to the lads family and friends.

Couple of quick pics off me fone from the scrutineering:

Quick pic of mine: And one of my mates WRX:

Specialist Cars VW in Tullos Eddie, 6-9pm tonight.

Look out for a DBM classic and a green newage Wuz, me and my mate are going over to scrutineering as well. Think we're planning on taking in stages SS3, SS5 and SS6 on the day.

Here you go sir: SPECIAL STAGE 1 (from 9am) Caledonia Hydraulics Whitehaugh - A five-mile blast around Whitehaugh Forest in the Correen Hills near Alford. It is a long established stage on the Granite, but has not been used since 2000, and will be a fitting start to this year's event. There are no areas suitable for spectator car parks on this stage. SS2 (from 9.45am) Station Garage Clashindarroch - Clashindarroch has not been used on the Granite since 2000. This year's return brings an 8-mile section in the southern end of the forest. SS3 (from 11am) Rio Prestige Performance Tornasheen - Tornasheen has not been used on the rally since 1989, so its inclusion this year will be the first time most of the competitors will have seen this fast and furious stage. Car park A can be reached from the A944, past Glenkindie, and will be signposted. SS4 (from 1.30pm) Diagnostic Technologies Blackhall - The stage runs at the East end of the Blackhall forest in the shadow of Scolty Hill near Banchory. The only access to the stage is from Car park B at the Scolty Hill end of the stage. SS5 (from 2.15pm) Yellow Dot Glenfarquhar - The only accessible vantage point on this stage is via a small public forestry car park in Drumtochty Glen. The stage can be accessed from the glen by following the marked road. SS6 (from 3pm) Power Jacks Fetteresso - An 11-mile stage using most of Fetteresso Forest. It incorporates very fast flowing roads in the first half leading into more twisty, technical areas in the back half. There are two car parks, C and D, at Hill of Hobseat, near the start of the stage, and Hill of Swanley at the end.

Quality stuff, black looks the dogs. Once again, nice use of Greyhope Road for folks car pics in yer first set [] Lost count of the amount of times i've seen folk using Nigg for snapping their motors, myself included !!

Nah, but a white van just outside my work did ! Only thing that caught my attention was the flashing blue lights in the back window of the Focus.

Keep yer eyes peeled, unmarked Silver Ford Focus doing the rounds in Aberdeen, couldn't quite catch the reg tho []

Is that a Mach 3 Turbo razor stuck to the boot [^o)]

I'll see what Mr. Optimax says !!

Aye it's a very popular rally this one, get some really good crowds at the stages. Going by what i'm reading on another site here it's being televised as well.
