Hi and welcome, oh and no one lives near Applecross Only kidding

This meet, viewtopic.php?f=84&t=42322, may be a bit far for you but your more than welcome to join in, even if it's only for a coffee at Calvine

Was thinking of changeing mine as well, been lazy and not looked at the set up yet, is itan easy replacement or do you need fingers like knitting needles and have to remove half the engine?

Tunnel bridge/valley is a nice area but it's getting snow this weekend!! Single track roads up there are scary even when driving the van as I like to go fishing and campin up there.

 

Enjoy urselfs

Haha, yup I know what you mean, last winter my Rex sat in the drive for 6 weeks over Crimbo Rear wheel drive and snow are not a good mix

Hope Stirling Services has a Costa's, we all might be sitting there watching the weather

No fears though, I've put the weather chit in early to save dissapointment

Sorry I missed this, looks like an epic run I'm so sorry in fact, that I've set this one up >> viewtopic.php?f=84&t=42322

As I missed the last one, which looked more like a Grand Tour, than a Mini Hoon , I feel the need to set one up myself Hopefully no rules broken yet by my boldness

While on a wee business trip oop north a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of traveling back from Aviemore to the Clyde Coast (spotted Jay on the A817 ) and took a rather interesting route. As it was a gorgeous day and my colleagues and I (who were not familiar with Scotlands finest scenery) had plenty of time to reach our final destination, I decided to cut right off the A9 at Ballinluig heading for Killin, along Loch Tay, on to Crainlarich, Arrocher then the backroad to Garelochhead.

Anyways, we were in a rather gutless Insignia estate (apparantly an SRI ) and I thought what a fantastic road to take me Zed Now I propose a slightly different route and to complicate things, do it sort of in reverse

Route to be finalised but thinking along the lines of, meet up Stirling services, jct 10 M9 head for Aberfoyle, north to Killin, along Loch Tay to Kenmore (pay homage to the tree at Fortingall, weather permitting B846 to Tummel Bridge, pick up the B847 to Calvine (one for the shoppers here, stop off at House of Bruar), B8079 to Pitlochry, re-join A9 for a bit to A827 hang a right at Ballinluig, to Aberfeldy, down to Crieff and keep heading south to Dunblane, phew!!

If it's all old hat or there are any other good pointers on the proposed route, please feel free to suggest. I have, in the past, organised a fair number of meets for The Scottish crew of the RX8 OC, so not really a novice, but I drive like one , did similar to the Applecross meet you had, back in 2007, 15 RX8's and the Highland Games to boot!! We even won the Tug O War

As always I'm going to do it anyway, good day out etc, so if you're interested and can join up enroute then please add your nom de plume (sp?)

Great day , never ever been to a drift race before , fanfechintastic, really great to meet all of you today and Linda had a great time as well , (she's a secret drift fan don't you know )

Thanks Vicky for the organisation and of course, the brownie

Sorry I let the side down on the karts , but I did redeem the clubs name coming back from Knockhill, just ask the Golf GTI driver , looks like I need 328bhp to shift my fat arse

Was really impressed by the skill level shown by these drivers and the drifters were not bad either

Hope to see ya all sooon

Love the Irn Bru shot with Jays car and also Paulie's new bloke, Athol mate I think you got off lightly

Great convoy drills folks, loved the way Jay held the outside even when it wasn't dual carriageway

Apparantly this is the case ^^, not sure how it works but all GT pack have this

Will he still be allowed to come oop north? Glasgow will miss you Al if not! Congrats at the new job

Ooh! A convoy ^^

Room booked Although some bampot has already snaffled the Gandy and four posters

Heartfelt sympathy to both families. Words fail most people at times like this, tragic loss of two young lives.

Crow Wood looks good to me, so I'll be there at 8 Thanks for the organisation

G Man love the pic of the Tres Rex's (Still miss mine !)

That was taken on the Bull Run course, only spent a night there and to be honest, I wouldn't bother going back, nice enough place but a bit touristy.

Miss my Rex, too many good times touring Europe/24hr Le Mans and track days, the 370 has a lot to live up to

Wish I had digital photo's of my first "proper" sports car, Opel Manta GTE

g man where in lanarkshire you coming from buddy

Larkhall, so hopefully meet up for a convoy that Paulie/Jay is organising (?), is that "The Plan"?

haven't got any on PC of my older cars but here's a couple of my last one

I only suspected it had this feature must RTFM

Nice match Only comment I would say is they don't look as deep a "pile" as the OEM ones and no 370z logo, but I agrre with above, a bit naughty not to include them on a 32k car

370 is the same, I would be surprised if this could be overridden, Nissan's liability disclaimer, more apt for the Merkins me thinks
