Rear passenger side brakes binding on - hopefully resolved tomorrow.

Most likely sticking caliper which may or may not need replaced
Brakes are overrated Dougie.....engine braking is where it's at....big heavy straight six.

Weather not great at the moment...however,

Run always goes no matter what, just drive to the conditions.

Hopefully it will clear up a bit before tomorrow. Means I have an excuse not to wash the car today though hehe

I think my flatmate is going to come along as well in his Alfa 147. I will be leaving around lunch time as I have something on in the afternoon, should be good though smile

I won't be attending now due to work arrangements, I did however have a wee run along some of the route today, if this weather keeps up, all I can say is mind yer wellies! Lots of puddles and standing water in places!

I am afraid guys that aaahhm oot. It's been a stupidly busy weekend so far and even though I may have my first full day off in three weeks I'm going to be on call in case it gets busy, therefore, I can't be too far away from Aviemore.

A real shame as the route is excellent and considering I grew up driving much of it frequently I will be sad not to go.

Hope you guys get the good weather and have a great time.

Weather ain't too bad. Took a run over to Dunoon via the Rest & Be Thankful last Wednesday. Roads are still being gritted and theres minimal snow (non on the road). Im out in Helensburgh at the moment and it really is pissing down though, hopefully theres no landslips smile. Also Bork, Alfa 147? Want me to bring a rope? smile

Ah gods. Dont let me near it. Just got short of my 147, That "Beeeeeep,Beeeeeeeep" everytime you turn the ignition still makes me shivver. Lovely car to drive, build quality had sort of a lot to be desired. Owell mine got to 108k before something major happened (gearbox decided i didnt need 3rd or 4th anymore). Cant complain for a £800 car though.

Didn't realise you were meeting in Dumbarton or I'd have put my name down! Seen you all by chance as I headed to the local fast food establishment dressed like an absolute mink! biggrin

I tagged along until Tarbet and then headed back in, hope you have another good run!
