Any chance of any passenger laps please


There may be a queue but I am happy to dish out the pax laps, just come and say hi. Silver Exige which will be filthy and I'll be the one complaining about something.

Are their many heading down from Aberdeen? I thought I might try to meet up with you on your way through Dundee but I need to know which cars to look for and an approximate time in Dundee.

Might manage to make it for a short while in the morning but my wife also has plans for us. Just picked up my CLK55 AMG Cab yesterday, so timing is good. Fingers crossed.

Good to see a few people turning up

A nice Ferrari 328 GTB, a TVR T350 an Alfa V6 and a few Clio sports . The TVR sounds amazing! Pity we couldn't have went for a drive somewhere but the roads are pretty slimey and dangerous! It was good to meet a few people though thumbup

A proper meet will have to be arranged in the new year when the weather is nicer and the roads are a little less lethal.

A few pics from the SIDC trackday, mostly of the TVR.









A few more




A couple of lotus elises had a coming together down at the hairpin and another one smashed not far from the circuit, so not a great day for lotus drivers !!

Will post a few more pics when I have time to edit / upload them

edit to say: click the pics to see fullsize as the forum is squishing them

An enjoyable but damn cold day, it was great to meet up with a few people. Special thanks to Graham (hollow pockets)for the passenger laps in his T350t, a very impressive machine and close to the fastest thing on the track even in the wet.
I took one not very good photo and a couple of crap videos but I thought I would post them anyway.

Hollow pockets and his rather lovely TVR.

Yep, was good to put faces to names of folk on here. Knockhill was it's usual cold, wet self - an impressive weather performance even for Scotland in November eek. A lot of nice machinery at the SIDC trackday, highlights being the noise produced by Graham's TVR, and also TVROLET's car (sorry didn't get a chance to say hi) but that Ultima(?) GTR produced a lovely noise. Was an unfortunate day for the Lotus drivers though

Too cold to stand around for long, but I managed to get a few "average" pics of the trackday and a few of the non-tracked cars too:

All my pics here

Hi all!

Just noticed this thread, sadly couldn't make the meet, but was at the track day. My pics are in the next thread down.

So what's your opinion of a meet type thing? A goer? Any improvements?

Cheers,
Iain

You should have came, the meet was after the track day

It could definately be a goer, just need better weather so we can have a bit of a driving

Possibly up north, some brilliant roads up near Glencoe etc

It was a good day even though the weather was shocking in the morning and the roads far too slimy for a fun drive.

We did a bit of exploring after and found some nice routes and potential pub lunch venues.
I think that we should get something together in the spring. Perhaps glencoe or similar.

Great pictures! check the stig! haha

was good to meet some of the PH crowd and was great fun on track taking people out for a blast, hope i didnt scare any of my passengers! driving

was so tired after it on the way home to aberdeen i had to stop in a layby at brechin, fell asleep for an hour and a half, woke up by big truck passing, then off i went again.

hopefully next time theres a meet the weather will be better so we can go for a tour around some country roads.

You didn't scare me at all, you always seemed to have it well under control. I enjoyed our little run from Perth to Meigle as well.
Cheers
Robert.
