Don't you get that before you get the car John? (As well as the Arai helmet)

I had Arai helmet once but the clinic gave me some pills and it cleared up in no time

Hi guys,

Just trying to guage interest in this trip i was planning last year.

The idea would be to go to Scotland for a week and do the well known "850 mile lap" sometime around the end of June or beginning of July, before the school holidays, or mid September after the school holidays.

Roughly:
Day 1 - drive to Edinburgh
Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - do "the lap", finishing in Edinburgh
Day 7 - car free day in Edinburgh
Day 8 - drive back

More info on "the lap" here: http://www.rioprestige.com/driving/the-lap-of-scot...

I'm going.

This would be great... my preference is July

Sounds good to us, if the Clio is ready! Shame we have to go to Edinburgh though!















Must be something to do with being from Glasgow!

[Kinky]

When you're up there, you should arrange a meet with the SSC

I would be up for this but might have to be a shorter visit for me! only 3-4 days rather than the whole 7-8

Regards

Rob

I may take the Swift or I may try and hitch hike the whole way, depending on how the car fares in summer conditions - I wouldn't want to hold you all up and I'd like to sample all your cars at some point (If you don't mind of course).

I hope there's room for a gatecrasher from Kent.

Had a great trip to Wales last summer with, amongst others, JohnD and Nothelle who should both be able to vouch for me.

What a fantastic hoon this Scotland one sounds.

I'm gonna have to be a provisional entry at this stage. Once you guys have decided on the date, i'll then try my upmost to get the time off work.

Hello mate

Whats with the name change? I spotted 'Black Sport 160' on the table and thought 'Ooh, another one!' but no, its you! Glad to have you on board.

Agree with Ben that it would be good to firm up dates so we can book leave.

[VerySideways]

Since only one person has expressed an interest in a specific date let's use that.

JULY 25th ->

Go and book time off work!!

[angryS3owner]

Cool - I'll book 27th - 31st ASAP.

Hopefully the traffic can't actually be bad that far north
