How about a convoy? 13th May?

[Rob]

Thinking something along the lines of......

I start here, drive to Aberdeen and meet some folk, down to Dundee and pick up some more, across to Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, up the Glen's passed Fort William to Inverness then back round the way I came, dropping people off?

Maybe when the weather is a bit better but having some stops to take pics and get some munchies. everyone would be doing the same amount of miles *roughly* and would be a good way of meeting some more folk? And it would be a great drive!!!

[alistairolsen]

sounds good, do it on a friday night and Ill drive from glasgow to oban with you :P

[Rob]

I was thinking maybe a Saturday or Sunday. If we were to meet in Aberdeen at about 9am, it would leave plenty time to get it all done in a day.

[alistairolsen]

I was being a cheeky ****, I drive up there every friday anyway lol.

Well u for this depending on when and numbers

[Rob]

I would need to book time off for it but definitely when the good weather starts - maybe into May? Or the end of April?

[alistairolsen]

later the better as regards my chances of having a decent car to come in

[Rob]

lmao

Just a big 'Scotland Road Trip' really. Lots of pics, lots of country roads and lots of people and cars.

[Gordon Livsey]

aye, i will be up for it, will need to buy a car again though, (if i aint disqualified by then )

[alistairolsen]

nova = moderately quick, looks unusual on the road, handles nicely, gets comments from fellow enthusiasts

corsa = fairly rapid, looks like every other ****ter on the road, handles acceptably, arouses no comment from anyone ever apart from " is your exhaust blowing"

Id rather have nova fiished in time :P

[turbosri]

sounds good rob, will be up for it if im at home,

[Rob]

No matter what people are driving - its all about having a laugh and meeting some of the crowd.

[Rob]

Anyone else up for the 'Tour Of Scotland'

Aberdeen

Dundee

Perth

Edinburgh

Glasgow

Fort William

Inverness

Then back round the same way. By Inverness we should have everyone and could go bowling or whatever to have a laugh or pass time or just park up and compare willy sizes?!

[Rob]

Or.... if you wanted something different we could just meet in Edinburgh or Glasgow and head into Englandshire and maybe meet up wih the Northern chaps?

[alistairolsen]

meeting up is good, be good to meet the englandshire folks, but I cant think of anything more boring than the a74 tbh

[Rob]

lol - the m6?

That could maybe be a plan for later in the summer then.

So.... get your names down and I will sort out some dates...

Please put your starting location down too (from the list) so we know who is where.
