I remember 30 /40 years ago there used to be plenty bad press about mountaineering in Scotland in the Winter. Invairably though, the accidents were happening to English climbers who had no experience of weather conditions in Scotland or the debilitating effects of long access treks to get to the more remote climbs.

Eventually over the years, a form of Darwinism seems to have reduced the ratio of non local to local winter accidents.

Now, I know that Winter's got nothing to do with this, but, are we going to see a similar situation with our Southern Superhirers?

We all know , in fact we are total experts when it comes to sizing up the probable movement / action of a sheep grazing on the verge. We know that the Dutch motorhome on a single track road IS NOT GOING TO PULL INTO the passing place .

I suppose the trend may yield a larger selection of filling stations selling Superleaded, and maybe a few more interesting scrapyards.

Sounds like a good idea, can offer Gallardo spider for line-up, may need loan of bucket and sponge to eradicate West Coast midgies

If you announced this in the "general" forum, you might spark something, to be honest. Doesn't seem to take much for folk to hoon

(Particularly given the roads around your way, as you and I both know)

(By the way, are you around this weekend? I'm fancying a last hurrah with the S2k)

I'm around, watch out for the weather though west coast seems headed for four days of snow. If you do come up - e mail me - we'll meet up for a snowball fight.

Let me know if you want me to put out a mass email to the folks over on the SSC site.

That would be great Avril - perhaps you could point them to this thread, so that all the possibles stay 'in one place'

I have got no idea where the feck it is......but I'm in.......

911 (993) Turbo 4 (will look like TurboS by then) at the moment but likely to have an additional masterpiece also, will update soon.

Could possibly also have a 964 Speedster and a few other things there like a 360 and a 355.

This sounds really good to me to Steve, and stunning location, I have a slightly newer vette, a cacophony of V8 rumbling.....

Like to take that trip with the Sagaris - if available take the run with you?

Sounds good to me Richard, but you would have to promise to use only half your throttle on that Orange missile

Hi Steve, sounds good and would be up for this too if a 968 CS is of interest (not as as exotic as some). Any excuse to go for a drive up north!

[GetCarter]

Fine by me... Some time around Easter, I'll hopefully get the go ahead and I'll then measure up the space, which will determine how many cars can comfortably fit. If there are more than that number, we'll devise some sort of overspill area so that people will at least still come (hopefully)... I have to say, if the weather is good - not only is the drive up spectacular, but the day is a lot of fun too. (There's a ceilidh the night before, usually finishes about 8 a.m. and a street gig in the evening which also goes on most of the night.

(Although I think the car thing would be arrive at 13.00 - 13.30 and leave anytime after 15.45 - so that those with long drives can use the light)

If I manage to book the helicopter chap (It's the LZ that's the issue), it'd be great for anyone with a camera!

Promise. No, really. And the cheque......

[Sandy59]

Definately interested if it's before the 28th Aug, don't mind the travelling for a decent burger !!

[GetCarter]

GT3's welcomed (esp. in balck)... It'll be in the first half of Aug.

[Sandy59]

Sounds good, I'll look forward to it.

[donniemac]

Count me in Steve, though I've just sold the F355 (which is going a week on Sat), so watch this space to see whats next. Quite like what you have and had a look at a couple for sale! We'll see what the budget says. Or another Ferrari>>>>>

[northo]

I would be up for this.

[GetCarter]

Actually Ed... you could provide ALL the cars!
