*****PH Ecosse Festive Road Run - 28 December 2014*****
Discussion
good run today and thanks for organising it but my day ended on a sour note as i had popped into my brothers house for 20 mins when dropping him off and came back out to find someone had smashed my passenger side window 
so need to phone my insurance company tomorrow to see what the excess will be like 
edit: forgot to mention that my first run down dukes pass today definitely had me on my toes the full way but hopefully the next time i drive on it it will be in the summer

Thanks for organising the run Barry, we had a lot of fun, it was good to see so many nice cars and meet a lot of friendly people.
The run through Glencoe was great fun and it was funny how we all stopped thinking that we had punctures when the cars were squirming around on the ice.
It is a pity that we had to leave early but we had an enjoyable drive back and Rebecca got to work in time.
I hope lunch was good and that you all had a good run home.

Good day out with a few squeaky bum moments, even when driving on straight roads!! It takes us a little effort to make these runs 5am start 500 miles total miles traveled but well worth it. Thanks to Barry and all who took part and hopefully we will see some of you again sooner rather than later.

Second run for me and a wee bit scarier this time, even 3rd gear wheel spin in 4wd........clenched! Thanks to alll, great day and even though the road conditions where at their worst it goes to show that even though we lilke to drive fast we know when and how. Safe as houses. See you next run.
