Mini-Run 21st or 22nd November - Srirling to Glen Coe?

[kmm]

If anyone want a quick blast on Saturday 21st or Sunday 22nd of November then let us know. This will be weather dependant 'cause if it's pishing down or the roads are totally covered in salt then i'll give it a miss. We can decide on the Friday night before if it's worth going.

Was thinking of leaving from Falkirk or Stirling 9.30am or 10am. Go to Glen Coe, Killin or somewhere that will be max 3 hrs total for run. Don't mind where as long as the roads are nice.

1. kmm - S4 (can make either day)

[masopa]

Might well be up for it - again, depending on weather.

2. masopa - 911 Turbo

Weather looks not too bad but sadly I will be going in the opposite direction to BTAP.

Am up for the cup!

Was out with the missus recently and stopped in Kenmore, theres a new kinda trendy but informal bar/restaurant type place with a big central fire and soft chairs that could be a great stop for lunchers.

If you fancy as a route, dukes pass in reverse, upto killin, turn right to kenmore, lunch, back down to crief, braco stirling?

Do love glencoe, anybody think of a good place to stop up there?

[kmm]

If going to Glen Coe, there is the Clachaig inn but always busy with walkers/climbers. Hotel at Bridge of Orchy? Lots of nice places in Killin or happy with Kenmore.
Going Killin way will be fine with a handful of cars, and a route up that way was consider for the October run. Too many turns ruled that out with so many cars.

Dukes pass, Killin etc sound good.

OOps. I didnt read the title correctly thought you were trying to arrange a run for this weekend but I still wont be able to come as BTAP shall take up all of my petrol hoonage allowance for the month about 2 and a bit tankfuls I think will cover it.

The best I can find that anyone has got on a long distance motorway cruise in an rx8 is 300miles which still leaves me 50 miles short of the hotel.

Hitch a ride and fuel share with Mr Drive, you know it makes sense.

Comfy too.

Already sharing a room with him at the other end as it is. The drive down is all part of the experience.

M1 + RX8 is a far poorer experience than M1 + 735i...

[sherman]

As far as I know the convoy is z4+735i+rx8 so it should be a good laugh.

Also I think LHD is going to london after BTAP to see some friends and get his windscreen fixed so I need a way of getting home.

[breakdown]

Yep nothing on that weekend-not being a woos but weather dependant.

I'm needing brakes now too.

[kmm]

Might have a couple more cars going.
SLK AMG
370Z.

All of this depends on the weather being resonable.

[istoo]

a pile of the E30zone guys are going from stirling to pitlochry on Sunday.
Wrong end of the country from me but i could have joined in my urS4

[a11y_m]

Can't make this one - at a wedding on the Saturday which rules the Sunday out too - but I'm certainly up for future drives like this, so continue to post 'em up please!

[RDM]
