First Scottish Monaro Owner's Cruise

[Well_Fans]

Well okay there were only two of us but up here thats a crowd Thought I'd post up a few pics from yesterday's tour. No particular order but all taken around the Loch Lomond/Helensburgh area. The military road with the escape lanes could be fun but I'd want AP's to stop at the roundabout at the bottom of the hill.....

Where's the other car?

[Well_Fans]

I was sitting behind all the way listening to the wonderful noises coming from the Wortec exhaust on the car in front - well that and he's got 410bhp under the bonnet to my unmodded 04 300-330 horses. Not easy to get close never mind past with that difference

Edit : Actually I know mines faster just because its black but I thought I'd let him lead

It's beautiful up around there isn't it? The roads can be great too, I used to travel out around that way a lot when I was seeing a Navy nurse. Plenty of secluded spots!

[Well_Fans]

yeah you could say there are a few secluded spots - by time we were heading home every layby had at least 1 car getting a bit steamy in it

Were they "taking the 'dog' for a walk"?

Thanks for just posting my sensible driving bits, Bob.
The tail-flick lefty at the bottom of AP hill felt good, though
Doesn't Odyssey look good?

Anyone up for a pub lunch and drive on Sunday 16th July? Somewhere up that way?

[jimb0]

I think I'm back from hols by then. I'll need to check. But otherwise.

[Well_Fans]

hmm 16th - damn thats the day of the Fast&Modified Show at Ingliston in Edinburgh and I'm booked on a stand with the Vectra owners. What's your schedule like over that weekend/day and whereabouts were you planning to head. Maybe be able to work something out if we can get a couple of people together.

I'll be seeing you on the 12th at the Newcastle event - got that booked into the calendar, despite the fact its her indoors birthday Taking her shopping in the Metro Centre and out for some grub as compensation.

I've nothing arranged myself on Sunday 16th.
If y'all come up with something, count me in

I live in Helensburgh, and the roads around about are great fun.

However just a wee note of caution for when you use the haul or 'military' road in the future. The cambers of the corners arn't realy set up for road cars travelling at speeds over the nsl, they are much flatter as they were originally designed to cater for large/heavy slow moving military convoys, which have a tendancy to topple over.

My old man works in the Base, and talks about the call outs they get for people who have just went straight on at corners on this road.


....still great fun though
