Cracking run with a great bunch of guys n gals. The weather made it really special. The Dukes Pass is just awesome!

Fantastic run, very very good, everything perfect, weather, cars, company...everything.

As regards the crash on the Erskine - I didn't stop at Cameron house so would have got there
before most people but there was a car with hazards on stopped just as you got onto bridge,
was that involved, as cars were arriving at it pretty quick after the first corner and having
to take avoiding action. There was a plod van and car on the opposite carriageway as well, just
parked up.

Was it a green almera/corrolla? It wasn't smashed as I drove passed (nearly was :-0

Someone went into the back of it very very hard!

[B11YYA]

Yeah,
The chassis was snapped, I was directly behind the avenis about 100 yards away. He went from 60 to 0 within seconds. Both guys were okay, one was a OAP NED lolz. As usual he had no insurance and had HASH in the car, What A Wally lolz. But it was a really heavy impact. The Ned was still in the car, he never even sat at the side of the road. Think he ran out of fuel. We had to call Police and wait to give a statement. It was CRAZZZZYYYYYY, but i do enjoy a good crash, as long as im not involved. Ha.
Have a good one
Billya

FINAL PRE RUN POINTS

Anyone who still wants the route - you have to email me through my profile.

Tomorrow should be a good day if everyone observes these points:

1. Despite the supercar jibes there are still some very quick cars running
2. There is no need or expectation to keep up with anyone
3. There is no need to go faster than the speed limit
4. Know the limits of your car
5. Know the limits of your driving
6. If in doubt slow down
7. Be polite and considerate to other road users

If you observe the above we won't have a thread like this

Enjoy the day

Well done on the above!

Thank you to today's runners. An epic turn out and an amazing variety of nice metal despite the lack of supercars!! .....

Good driving standards as far as I could see and even that nice officer in Lochearnhead wished us well.....something about Shocks and library books overdue??

Anyways - good to meet yet more newbies - hope to see you all again soon.

Cheers B

Lol, next time

Used up all my monthly flickr allowance due to the amount of pictures, so made a thread to save anyone browsing on a mobile from stupid data charges.

Great day out and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, big thanks to Barry for the organising!

[Will_S]

That was a superb day!

Great fun, and good banter.

Cheers - Can't wait for the next one.

No Lee this time, just a 6'3" TP waving at me to pull-in, the benefit of driving within the posted limit was the subject of conversation - nothing more than that.

At least I'm useful for something.
