Good run today, just the 4 of us made it out. Inverurie over to Westhill - Peterculter then B road madness courtesy of Vasser out to Braemar. Had a burger and chips at the Hungry Highlander then over the Glenshee Ski Resort, down the rollercoaster bumps to Blairgowrie then the dualer home. Very very nasty looking accident outside Blairgowrie, car on its roof, reigned the speed in a bit after that.

Off out for a few beers. I'll leave you with this

I used to burn comedy podcasts for my commute to my old work, was a 5mph crawl the whole way from one end of Aberdeen to the other, found laughing stopped me killing numerous bus drivers, cyclists and other motorists.

Although, sometime I'll just listen to this Good idea for a post though, the best 350Z driving anthems!

Has to be this for me - Dont you notice though, when a great song comes on the radio, you receive it that much better than if you'd selected it on your ipod/cd player?

Any news on the biker Stew? Didnt look good when I drove by, no ambulance there at the time, just the fast response car.

I know the road safety lot are re-running the 'look, look and look again' ad for checking for bikers, but I've just witnessed the very harsh reality of not checking. A young lad in a silver Polo just took a biker out on Aberdeen's Market Street. Car was turning into the bikers lane of traffic into a side road and obviously hadn't seen the biker. Bike was in a very bad way and the rider wasn't moving. Just be careful folks!

Gents, just a weather update. Glenshee has had a fair dumping http://ski.visitscotland.com/conditions/glenshee/ see the pic. Its forecast to snow again tonight and rain most of tomorrow, snow on higher grounds. I know looking out the window just now its a gorgeous blue sky 9C day but maybe we should double check this in the morning. I'm just speaking from my experiences in the Z up that road a few weeks ago and it really wasn't pleasant at all. Would much rather be able to enjoy this on bone dry roads. Plus, the ESR exhaust might trigger an avalanche!

That looks like the Tomintoul side of the Lecht Ski Centre, just before the wind farm. Is there a prize for the right answer?

you have another pm

Aye i'm thinking the same, i've got a wedding kicking off at 6pm, might be an idea to skip the BLairgowrie leg and take the easy route back to Abz from Glenshee. Yeah thats no prob. you can still travel down to blairgowire and along the dualer back to Aberdeen., if in a real rush. Just flew by the gramps today in the chopper and they look ok weather wise. Cool, can play it by ear when we get to Glenshee then. Doesnt look like anymore snow is forecast but you never know.

No worries, just looked at Vasser's route and there's an Inverurie stop on there. Braemar 4 day forecast - http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2120

Got the route through Vasser, cheers. My only concern is that we keep an eye on the weather, its been snowing up there the last few days and although I have done the Glenshee run in a white out, I wouldn't wish it on anyone!!

Are the DPmotorsport wheels the right offset to clear the Brembo's? The ones I saw on their eBay shop were +35?

I bought spacers from their ebay site a while back, they sent me the wrong ones but were ok about a return and offered a discount in future due to the mistake. Have some nice wheels at good prices, just wrong offsets for the Z.

Where about are you? I'm just back from 3 days in Chamonix, magic!

Can someone explain how I can add myself to the member map? Just tried and the bleeding thing is jumping all over the shop!

Haha aye only cos its free and he's always skint!! He's working in here http://www.electrichouse.com/#/house/electric_house/introduction I only seem to hear from his when someone famous has been in. Yesterday I got a text "Best one so far, had Owen Wilson in work today. Great banter, bloody nice guy." He's had Take That in and apparently Will Young commented on his blazer!

Twas me! The young lady was in that sunbed shop and i just sat outside. Mikey has now moved on to pastures new down in a members club in London. He tried an office job for Schlumberger for a while but it just didnt agree, think he would've slept behind the bar at Tiger if they'd have let him.

Still in for this. Cant view the route - The selected Attachment does not exist anymore 404 File Not Found: The File files/abz_3_482.doc does not exist.

Dont mind, not too early though, i live for my weekend long lies!! 11am B&Q Garthdee?

Yeah I actually think my sub-consious kicked in last night when i went to bed cos i kept thinking I heard stuff outside! Its not a bad area either, its a fairly quiet street off Union Grove, nowhere near any pubs or anything.

So, Sunday morning I'm having my well deserved long lie and the door bell goes off. I ignore it in favour of staying in bed. The person leaves and I hear them go up the stairs and knock on the next flat, then the next one. I'm thinking Jehovah's Witness'. They ring the bell on the way back down and the g/f urges me to go get it. Throw on a tshirt and open the door, greeted by a policewoman. "Sorry to bother you, but did you hear any noise between 10pm and 5am last night?" "Eh nothing unusual, why?" "Cant really comment. Your neighbour below said she saw you outside at about 10pm" "Yeah we'd been down at the cinema, just got home" "Did you notice if the back gate was open and the back door?" "No" "OK, thanks for your time" Off she went and I went back to bed........ Gave the g/f a lift home later and bumped into my neighbour below, who explained why the police were round...... Someone during the night had climbed our 8ft high exterior wall, had picked up a large breeze block, used it to stand on and had tried to open her back window with a screwdriver, when they failed to do this, they picked up another breeze block and hurtled it through her kitchen window!!
