martinmac Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Agreed re. the old millitary road! I occasionally drove that road when the construction traffic was able to use it. You had to drive at 30mph! Go too fast or too slow and people with guns would be very cross with you!!! Much more fun now it's open to the general public! And the rest-and-be-thankful!! What a great road! My uncle was from Lochgilphead, had the pleasure of driving that road many times! Must do it again sometime soon.. Shame about all the cloak & dagger stuff going on, I'm sure plenty of other current and prospective owners would like to catch up with you all on your route, see your cars and make new acquaintances. I'm not in Scotland this week unfortunately, I'm sure loads of us up norf would've appreciated the invitation to meet up though... Yeah I get what your saying but this is not really a forum meet just a bunch of people who met up on here, there are more non Zeds than Zeds. We have posted up threads before and got mixed responses but at the end of the day it's more to show people how much fun can be had, not to gloat or anything. Posting routes and plans on an open forum before we went could cause all sorts of problems unfortunately...

Will370z Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 G-man, thanks for posting the recommendations, really appreciate it. Will have to see if we can divert a little to get some in. I'm keen to see as much as I can on this trip as the scenery was stunning last time. I still can't believe the weather up here, I'm having to cover up in factor 30. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't believe the weather up here, I'm having to cover up in factor 30. Thanks again You won't regret it if you do We do get weather that's good you know. If you go up Applecross way, this'll be the week that happens every 10 years or so that you'll see the Torridon Range peaks! Climbed every one of them, get out the car, go climb!! You might even catch sight of the SBS roping into the sea and join a sub!! Edited September 8, 2015 by The G Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 All the way to here to get out the car and climb, makes absolutely perfect sense to me! Since the GTR is all wheel drive, I'll come driving! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May seem like that, we talked about contacting people and arranging things and decided as a group not to, nothing personal to anyone that feels left out but like I said this isn't a forum thing, just so happens we all met on here. We all have enough friends on here that are genuinely happy that a group of petrol heads (and a derv head) that they know are doing a road trip and that's why this thread is here.

Weather is absolutely beautiful �� Well that's obviously your decision, but I'm a regional rep on the Focusstoc and events organiser/moderator on gt86ownersclub and I've never heard of anyone broadcasting a road trip and then telling everyone else on the forum that they're not welcome to meet up!! Very cliquey! Each to their own. Yeah the reason it has become cliquey is because those of us that now no longer have Zeds were not welcome to join the yearly forum drives in Wales so we do our own thing Feel free to organise your own trips on here and invite as many as you like Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I think between the 9 of us members we must have attended hundreds of meets and met 1,000s of members so I hardly think we are elitist, just enjoy each other's company just as much as the driving, anyone that knows us will understand that Edited September 9, 2015 by spursmaddave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
