Will you be making an appearance Wazza?

Afraid not. I can't be bothered with the constant bad weather. Car is going into hibernation early this year.

Oh well saves me washing the car when I get home if the weather is that bad.

Hey folks,

As some have said the driving is what you feel comfortable with. It makes it an unenjoyable event if everyone is going hell for leather trying to play catch up. As some will be leaving from Aberdeen/Edinburgh/Glasgow can I suggest one driver takes the lead and one driver stays at the rear of the group. Not nessesarly last but keeping an eye on folks so no one gets lost.

One the Applecross run we had my trusty Skyline pace car (who actually offered it to me for this run ) who took the lead knowing were to stop for all the folks to catch up, we also have the radio's/phone's to keep in contact. I then stayed at the back (I am not the fastest driver in the world don't ya know) trying to make sure no one got lost. (I only lost one driver on the Applecross run the gent in the BMWZ4 ................. dammit make that two.... I also lost my folks in my turbo).

The last thing we want is for anyone to have a mishap on the road. Its to be an enjoyable day out for everyone and for us all to catch up and have a good banter with folks with the same interests in cars.




As long as you remember.... it's a run not a race.

I might give the GT4 one last run before its tucked away for winter - when would you need to know by Avril?

Hey Rob. I have no idea what time we would be leaving inverness yet but we would be leaving from the same place as last time (as we have not been banned from there yet ) Just drop me an email when you know if you can make it bud.

Still trying a few different options to get off, short of throwing a sicky

You will have to come down with............. Man Flu. Apparently it's all the rage

What car will you be taking, lovely colour on the sag and diablo!

Thanks! I would adore to have the Diablo but i'm bringing it over for a service and dropping it off and collecting the Morgan Aero 8 up in Edinburgh So that will be my run car!

Funky,

I have just sent you a PM.

Cheers

The car park to the Oyster is very small you know.... and there isn't really anywhere else to park, so it's first come, first served, LOL

Strange, manager assured me the carpark was fine as they also had spaces across the road. But then again I would imagine it would be first come first served in any carpark.

OK so.... I have been back onto the phone with the Oyster Inn. They have 12 spaces at the rear of the building, 8 or so at the front and room to fit another 12 odd across the road at the viewpoint. As someone has already said bunching up and blocking in cars should not be a problem. I have adjusted this list as some have indicated they are "maybe going", some are passengers and some have unfortunatley pulled out. I would guess the cars going will be in the region of 30ish.

Anyone who has been on the applecross run will already know they also have limited spaces. We managed to park up 45 car's on that run.

If anyone has a suggestion of where else to get lunch with bigger parking in the Oban aera, feel free to make it and pass on their phone number to me so I can contact them. Better getting this sorted out sooner rather than later.

Cheers
Avril

Thanks! I just noticed there your favorite color for the sagaris is chameleon green, mine too! Had one ordered with the factory when it shut down I would adore to have the Diablo but i'm bringing it over for a service and dropping it off and collecting the Morgan Aero 8 up in Edinburgh So that will be my run car!

Edited by Funky on Monday 29th September 15:24

Another great car, and very unusual colour on it as well! Look forward to seeing you.

On the parking issue, I looked at a few pics on google and it doesn't seem like there's enough space for 40 or so cars at the Inn...

Edited by jerwatt on Tuesday 30th September 11:41

Not a cat in hells chance

Yes. We heard you the first time..........and the second time............ and yes third time is a charm. Now run along and troll somewhere else. Damn... Fort William must be getting right boring these days.

TallGriff said:

Here here Stang!!

Its a drive in the country we are going for to enjoy the scenery, motors and PH camaraderie, too may people getting bent out of shape about the size of a car park!

Exactly. It's not the size it's what you do with it that counts.






I thank you.. I am here all day

Anyone mentions parking on laps and i'm not going.

Aaaawww man!! You stole my next line!!!

[Stang]

wazza said:

Can you see the Oyster Inn car park from Google Earth?

I would imagine so. You can see my house from Google Earth. Shame it'e the old one and not the one I built in 2006

Parking is not an issue to these guy's anymore. I emailed them all and asked them if they knew how to drive and park using their mirrors, they all said... hell yeah!! (said in a yankiee voice)

[Stang]

OlberJ said:

So, out of interest, what cars is everyone bringing or should i just go click profiles and stop being so lazy?

Yes

I'd have more respect for you if you just came out and admitted that you're trying to catch me out

And I would have more respect if you fked of and played with the white lines in the road. Now god only knows what your intent is but it is not welcome here.

Do one!
