Fantastic run guys. Great driving on our detour from whoever the white TT (R?)S and blue 1 series that was a mega road... until myself and bork got lost in Stirling 
.
Ha, it was Barry in the TT (RS) and myself in the 130i..Was an amazing road, can't wait to just go to the green welly one day and do that again

What happened to you guys? You let myself and Bork pass (the burgandy 328 and black fabia) then we never saw you again
Not sure, I ended up on the M9 came off at junction 10 and eventually found Dobbies Garden Centre.Met 5 other bods from the run in the restaurant. No sign of Barry though he did say he was finishing up at Lunch.

Ah we took the same(ish) route... with a detour through half of Stirling. Met some guys in dobbies but nobody was going on leg 3.Met 5 other bods from the run in the restaurant. No sign of Barry though he did say he was finishing up at Lunch.
Obligatory pick of the boggin cars at dobbies
Thanks to all the runners today, a good bit of fun despite some pretty bad standing water especially along Loch Tay.
For the first time in a while I have a good bit of brake dust on the wheels so must have been trying somewhere.
The hairdresser car moves along quite nicely when provoked.
Sorry I didn't make the lunch stop, decided to do the Comrie road twice and then ended up too tight to be back in Glasgow for 1500 so stayed on M9.
Liked today's route, so might use that again when it is less flooded.

That was a fantastic day out, thanks to Barry for organising it! I got a couple of photos so will stick them up later.
These roads were seriously good, looking forward to the next one! Will try not to get lost in Stirling again though...
Good to meet you all and see a great selection of cars

Be good to see an edited video if you get time Dougie.
My front cam is hardwired and always recording.Unfortunately I only took it out when I came back from the pub, so not full run.
Rear only comes on with ignition so has full run.
Will email you an ftp link of all files zipped tomorrow.
p.s. front is not so good with all info displayed (for edit purposes).
was good till my car decided to blow its radiator cap and all its coolant (black 3 series) but at least my brother in his white merc gave me company with his brake woes lol. After topping it up with 4 litres of water (had to use a nearby stream for a water source) and leaving it for 40 mins to cool down it worked fine but by time we got to dobbies there was no one else so we decided to head home but thanks to barry and the guys in the blue bmw/blue focus for stopping to make sure it was ok and i owe the blue focus 2 bottles of water next time i see you 
Was a good run up until my ABS became temperamental and tried to run my brother down, and my dash cam stopped recording 
. Still made it most of the way before i got lost and headed home.
Did run into the BMW Club Scotland though at the Green Wellie
Hopefully have better luck next time, and make it to the end.

Agreed, nice mix of fast sweeping corners towards Inverary, and on the A85, with some twisty stuff thrown in, particularly the road from Comrie. Green Welly gives a natural mid-morning break too.Thanks for organising again Barry!
