Harvest Run - 29th August 2004

[Julz]

Well, after much discussion with Rob, I have decided to finally get my finger out and organise a run!! It won't be til August as I need to get my college work out of the way first!!

We have a general idea of the route, which will cover many of our favourite roads in the local area, we just need to join them all up, so......here goes!!!

Anyone else want to come??:)


OK, this is the one and only list of attendees to feature in this thread, just to avoid pages and pages of people re-posting the same thing!!!! (Possible limit of 20 minis!)

Edit!! Directions are available from here! (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk//downloads/Harvest%20Run.pdf)

**UPDATE** Lunch has been booked at the Spittal of Glenshee and is to consist of a carvery buffet, the options of main course and either a starter or dessert costs £8.50pp. Can folks please confirm their attendance and if they are ok with lunch plans by emailing me (minijulzcs@hotmail.com) so that I have your email for forwarding the route plans.

[Julz]

Two groups isn't really feasible and it's still over 7 weeks away!!:clown:

Yes, I was going to look into that, there are also another couple of folk who've not been around lately, will do some checking soon!! Depending on the number of reserves, I might let you all come, I just hope the cattle grids will cope!!:p

Julz, I know I haven't been posting much, but I lurk often. Sounds like a disease doesn't it?

I love coming on the runs and I do enjoy the benter here on the site, it's just Lenore and I are quiet wee souls. So we don't post much.

We were really disappointed we weren't able to make the Red Arrows last weekend. But it was Shrek 2's opening weekend and our desire to feed and clothe ourselves overwhelms our desire to go on Mini runs... mostly. :)

AndyP

[Julz]

No problem Andy, as long as I know you're still with us!!;):D

[ELFMAN]

Julz, I'm TOTALLY sorry, but I'm going to have to pull out of the run.

I can only take my Summer week's holiday from Sat. 28th Aug., and I'm off to chill on Mull, otherwise I lose the week and go mad(der). Apologies for letting you down, but at least one of the Reserve folks can take my place. Gutted - as usual it all happens at the one time. Missed the “Thistle Run” because of a conflict of dates too. I know you'll all have a great run. Gaj/Martin - one of you is in!

By the way Julz, congrats for the “Go MINI” feature.

[Julz]

Sorry you can't make it, but have fun on your hols!!:cool:

[Gismo]

Well, what can i say, i won't be able to make this run :( just realised the date clashes, i'm the new Wul :evil::dead:

[Julz]

See you, you're sacked (don't know what from)!!:blackeye:
Well GAJ, welcome aboard!!:D

[GAJ]

The run will start and finish at the Broxden Services in Perth!!;):D

[sleepyrascal]

If possible Julz, I would like a seat in the reserve bit. ?

[Nenah]

Julz, your earlier post mentioned you were doing a trial run to decide on how many cars could join - any change to the 20 limit? And what would you do if I just turned up anyway!?!?!?! Mini-rebellion!

[Julz]

So far we've done half the recce, it's the next stage that will be the decider as I don't know how much of a battering rusty old cattle grids take!! But don't worry, I'll keep you posted you impatient little sod!!;):D

[Big Col]

HERE! That's a point! Whit would you do if they just turned up anyway? Eh? EH? Whit ye gonnie dae aboot it? :D;)

Wouldnae bother me, they would just have to be at the back and bring a packed lunch and a note from their mummy!!

[Big Col]

You cannie send me home! I'm in at number 14! :approve:

We'll see!! You'll only be at 14 if you behave yourself!!:approve:

[Big Col]

Buggrit! Looks like I'm at the back with my packed lunch as their aint much chance of that!

[sleepyrascal]

It would be amusing if 100 mini's turned up! Julz, for the rebellion tribe, will you supply all the packed lunches? I like ham and cheese with a little mustard (dijon), and a bottle of water! Also, my mum wouldn't write me a note, but if I get my sister to do it, would that be ok?

REMEMBER, DIJON MUSTARD!!!

Sorry Julz - didnt mean to stir up trouble :eek: - just testing the boundaries of authority! See...only takes one person to start a revolution. I understand why there must be limits on the run and I eagerly await your invitation to join! :D ..And I'll have vegemite and cheese sandwich please for my packed lunch!

[phantom]

Remember Julz, if the rebellion gets too much there's always that Belfast sink;), scared the sh*t out of me, mind you Rob would need to give you a hand lifting it:evil::p:D

Belfast Sink !!! is that code for a "kneecaps job" for all these so called revolutionaries.:evil::evil:

NO!! You're staying put!! Fair enough, some people seem to want to throw toys and handbags ootta the pram, but that's up to them. You haven't moaned or whimpered once, so you're staying on the list.

For the record folks, I know some people are a wee bit disgruntled at the limit of 20, but to be fair, this thread was started in February and if you're not new round here, you've no excuse for missing it!! <roll eyes smilie if we had one!!>. I know the route we're taking and the planned stops, and I personally don't want the headache of too many cars. I think I initially got the limit idea from Mr & Mrs M who said they would have enjoyed the Perthshire Run more if they didn't have to worry about the large number of cars, then there was the St. Andrews run where we seem to piddle off alot of the locals by taking over the wee narrow roads, I don't want to do that cause the planned roads are local to me.

I'm actually starting to wonder why I'm having to give reasons, so here it is - if you don't like the limit, tough!!:approve:

So Nenah, again, nope, I'm leaving you on the list whether you like it or not!!:clown::p

[Tahra]

Well I know we've been on the list since Feb but a clash has come up, so we'll need to regretfully withdraw :(( and I was looking forward to something nice n' local too).....Im getting - sharp intake of breath - my eyes zapped that weekend !:eek: J could've taken Scooby on a solo mission but Im making him hold my hand down in Newcastle.

So another lucky reserve can step up and we'll see you's at the Karting !

[Big Col]

Right! The next person that moans about the 20 limit is getting a slap! <ponders> Hmmm...unless it's a girly then chivalry dictates I can't slap 'em but they'll get a whopper of a dirty look! :evil:

[Steve74]

Does that mean I get to go on the run now there is a space.... Or does starting a heated topic get me in hot water ;)

[Julz]

Yes Steve, you're now on the run, so just sit in a corner and keep quiet from now til then!!;):D

(Nenah, one step closer, who else you gonna pay off then??:p)

[Julz]

p.s. Good luck Tahra, my pal had her eyes zapped and doesn't regret it one bit!!:cool::cool:

[Steve74]

Cool! :D

[sleepyrascal]

Hey Julz. I think your back on track now. Things seem to have settled down!

Unfortunately I have to ask you to remove me from the list as I got some dates mixed up. I'm planning to take part in the Stelvio or Bust run from the 24th AUG to the 2nd Sept. I actually only found out the dates recently. Sorry for messing you about! Thanks for keeping me on the reserves, You've done a great job so far!!
Cheers Julz!! Enjoy the run everyone!!!

http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53248

[Julz]

Hey no probs, if you're daft enough to go on SoB, fine by me!! Keep your eyes peeled round these parts though as KJ had been considering a Europe run sometime next year!! Also, have you thought about the Mizen to Malin run next year in Ireland??:D

[Duncan Stewart]

Great work sorting out a run Julz and I totally respect your 20 car limit. I am interested on your comments on the St Andrews run - why do you think we annoyed the locals? just interested as I'm thinking of various run ideas myself & don't want to upset the locals - was it anywhere in particular so I know to avoid that area.
Cheers

[Julz]

Can't remember where, but it was mainly after St. Andrews on the narrow roads in the Leuchers direction. It's just we were pretty close to the back for some of the time and the reactions from some of the folks travelling the other way, who enevitably had to pull over to let us past, was not very welcoming!!:eek::(:sleepy:

[Duncan Stewart]

Aye - its these grumpy Fifers :clown: ;).
Thanks Julz

I will defo look out for similar runs here!!!! The Europe one ties in with my hols. If It falls through, It would be cool to come with you guys, but i'll check with you nearer the time!!! CHEERS JULZ!

[The Dogfather]

Ireland! How about a Guiness Run. No restrictions to Black minis with white roofs though!

[Shrek]

Hey Seany, are u up for a mini mini run from Kincraig to this?

Cool Julz. You read my mind! I'm back on the reserves without even asking! Not doing that Euro thing with MINI2. I'll wait till NMS get something like that on the go. It's a bit to soo for me to get organised for such a big run. So If you can keep me on the reserves, that would be cool! cheers Julz!

Hi Julz, sorry its this late but could you please take my name off the list, wont be able to make it. :(

[Julz]

Right folks, update time.....

Lunch has been organised at the Spittal of Glenshee, and it just so happens that the day we are going, the residents are having a carvery buffet. So.... for £8.50pp you can have an all you can eat carvery with either a starter or dessert. However, there is the option of soup and sandwiches!

So, can people please mail me (minijulzcs@hotmail.com) with confimation that they're coming, how many will be with them and if the plans for lunch will be ok. This means that I will have all your email addresses for forwarding the route as we may not be able to host the directions as usual.

Cheers;)

[seany]

can you take me of the list julz please, i will be at the start but have to leave yous as i have to goto away to work in Ireland for about a month.

[Julz]

I would say that's a shame, but Ireland for a month, you can't go wrong!!;) So are you just coming to wave us off then?:clown:

[Big Col]

Now folks I don't want you all pulling out of this run because I can't make it. You should all fight back your tears, put a brave face on it and go anyway. Julz has put a lot of work in so do it for her! I'm proud of you all. :D;):clown:

I should be emailing the info out tomorrow lunchtime, but just so you disorganised folks;) can get a head start, we will be leaving the Broxden Services in Perth at 10am!!:eek::approve:

[Kirsty]

HEE HEE!!! Thanks Julz!!! Thot it was going to be earlier so thats a lovely surprise!! Yayyy me bones will have another hour in bed!! YAYYYYY!!!!

[Julz]

Ok, so I'm still waiting on confirmation from three cars, one of which I think has been sleeping, but the other two haven't been around for a while (and I've emailed them!), so if they have not confirmed by lunchtime today, their spaces are being opened up to anyone that wants them!:eek::)

[john]

Can I come please as my works BBQ is cancelled:)

[Julz]

If Bloocoop or Vosh don't confirm by lunchtime, you can come!! I doubt they will though cause I emailed them last week!!8) So I kinda guess that's a yes!!:D

[Steve74]

Just got the route Julz - looks very cool! Nice castle:)

[MartinSullivan]

Yeah , cool route Julz

[Julz]

Ok, seeing as it is ten past lunchtime, Bloocoop and Vosh have been eliminated!!:eek: John has now joined the ranks (oh heck!!) so that leaves a space.... anybody else??:D

[Julz]

Ok, so the first mistake has been found on the route, at 56.3 miles, it should say to take a right to Kirkmichael!!

(note to self, next time write left and right on hands!):I:kiss:

So is that an opposite lock corner?:D

[Julz]

That's whatever you want it to be, with you John, anything is possible!!:p:D

[GAJ]

Directions are also available from here! (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk//downloads/Harvest%20Run.pdf)

[Steve74]

Looking forward to this...:cool:

[duncan]

Looking good Julz.
I was up at the reservoir on Monday, and there sure are some nice roads up there.

Just hope its Duncan Stewart thats mentioned in dispatches on the directions! ;)

[GAJ]

I will be bringing along a face from the deepest depths of NMS history. He has now switched to the darkside, but I dont think that there are many Seat runs happening at the moment and he feels a bit left out! ;)

A mini Mars bar to the first correct guess as to who my mystery guest might be!:p

[Willie M]

Oh, I dunno :p Is it David (knaone) ??? ;):clown:
Or is it one of your Geeky apple mac pals Gaj?? :clown:

[Duncan Stewart]

Ho! welcome back Brian! :D. Has he not got rid of that Seat thingy yet? ;)

It could be someone who has been enlightened to the world beyond M$ Windoze!:D

[macblob]

Still driving that seat thingy im afraid, most MINIs are so far in my rear view mirror these days.......ohh well .

Will be good to come along on Sunday and see some old and new faces.

Will also be weird being a passenger for a change. Hope youve got a mini fridge and some lager Gaj :D

Not at all, I overbooked with numbers just incase, but it's a buffet anyway so I don't think it matters, they were only concerned if the numbers were more than I had stated!:clown:

GAJ, does your signature appear the same on everyone's screen?

The sig is dynamic; it will be different for everyone, it really does detect your IP, ISP, OS and browser, clever eh!

[Scottie]

It's not got my correct ip address.

yep it is clever but a bit freaky as well!!
:D:D

[Gismo]

It's always got my correct IP address, even when i'm offshore working through the gateway and firewall ;)

[Scottie]

I've double checked and it's not my correct ip address not even close.

I'm curious, what method are you using to check your IP address :question:

[macblob]

Cheers Julz. :D

And note i did say some MINIs in my rear view (ones with over 200bhp dont count) lol

[GAJ]

Using my special moderator powers I can tell that your IP is 19?.130.3?.3. I've blanked out a few digits to retain your privacy! If you are seeing something different when you check you may be viewing the IP of the specific PC on your local network allocated by your router. This might look something like 10.0.0.138, depending on the type of router!

[Julz]

Ok, two more mistakes have been found on the route (this is getting ridiculous!!:evil:) 121.1 miles, should be a right and 126.2 miles the first left should actually be a right!!

Shouldn't be a problem as this is after a regroup so we should all be together!:)

[GAJ]

A wee reminder ;) -


L_________________________________________________ ____________R

...which reminds me of a joke about C & A knickers which I might tell you later!:I

[Julz]

Noooooo, you've got it wrong, it's the other way around!! As for the C&A knickers, I wonder whatever could you mean??:eek::p

[X30YES]

Depends which way she is facing at the time I guess ;)

[Steve74]

Just noticed in the paper that J25-26 of the M8 may be closed that the M9 J4-6 has contraflow stuff going on. Wouldn't think it would be a problem for people getting to the meet point but thought I should mention it!

[Julz]

Ok folks, as I'm quite unlikely to be back online before sunday (home in 23 minutes and pc still in old flat!) I will hopefully see you all bright and breezy on sunday morning! If anyone needs to get in touch before then, my mobily number is on the top of the route sheet form thingy!!

See you all on sunday.......:D:D

p.s. please make sure you all have a copy of the directions with you as I have not had the chance to print off spares!! Ta;)

[sleepyrascal]

cheers julz..

[Astrohaggis]

Oh good grief - you've started challenging people ALREADY Kirsty!!! :p

No I don't think that will be necessary thank you Brian!!! :eek: <runs and hides in case he does anyway> :I But just wait til you see my plates on my baby!!! I hadn't really thot about it in relation to that unfortunate incident but VERY appropriate I'm sure you'll agree!!! HEE HEE!! See you on Sunday!!! :p:)
Ben, me challenge anyone?? NEVER!!! Now I did say that I was going to stop sabotaging threads so let it be known that thats me back in my cage behaving!!! Honest!! :I

Thanks steve, thats were i normally join and hadn't heard about the works. Wouldn't want to be late would I?!:)

[GAJ]

Made it back! Well done Julz and Rob for finding some excellent roads. Thanks for taking the time to organise this, it is appreciated! Shame the rain couldn't have kept away but at least there were plenty puddles to splash through.
Nice to see some old faces (some older than others;)) and happy to see lots of new faces too, hope you enjoyed your first run!
Wasn't all good though - Heather encouraging Brian with his pro-Seat banter, your wasting your time, I'm a MINI man through and through!:D:clown:

[sh@z]

Thats me just back

BIG BIG thanks to Julz and Rob for an awesome run, and for everyone making it such a laugh :D. Hope to see you all soon ...

Quote of the day HAS TO go to Kirsty: "Play with me, please" :D ... another T-Shirt coming up @ a future run!!!!! LOL

Anyway, thanks again and hope you all got back home safe.

shaz

[Steve74]

Second that. Great roads, great run, one very scary blue polo but lots of fun!

[MartinSullivan]

A big thanks to Julz and Rob - excellent run, great roads , well planned - what more can I say. Thanks again, hope to see you all again soon

[sleepyrascal]

Just home. My car was green this morning, its now kinda squashed insect and mud colour! NICE!!

Well done Julz and Rob. Great day out and 5 puddings to choose from:D:Dand they were all delicious!!
Let's all remember "The Hedgehog" that survived 20 minis before some "D*ckhead" Peugeot ruined his groundhog day.....phew a mini.... phew another mini....sh*t another mini....mini ...mini...
Where did Sioban find that taxidermist:evil::evil:

[Duncan Stewart]

Excellent work Julz & Rob. A day out splashing in puddles - I feel like a kid again :D. Great Lunch too!

Cheers Julz and Rob, for a great day.
Brill rds and a good laugh

Thanks for the transport Gaj, being a passenger was entertaining for a change.

I agree with Shaz concerning the quote of the day lol.

Was the way she was rubbing her knees at the same time that I found concerning 8)

[X30YES]

Great day out guys and and a well organised route ,it must have been a few trips getting that together...... Met a woman fron Washington State at the Lunch halt ,and she said that even her son had a mini cooper ...she looked well pleased getting her photograph taken next to the cars to show her son !.And the guy with the Mini Convertable from London joined in for a few miles to see what was going on ...... till the rain started that is . Good day out again ...TY J&R

[AndyP & Lenore]

Excellent run. Thanks to Julz and Rob for all the hard work. Great roads. Great lunch. What more can you say?

Thanks again.

A & L.

[duncan]

Well done Julz and Rob, some mighty fine roads, and some cracking puddles, that must have taken some arranging! :p

[Sheilz]

Thanks too from me and Nik. This was our first proper run which we enjoyed tremendously. Angus and then Malcolm and Shiobhan waiting for us when we lagged behind was much appreciated. We would have got well and truly lost if you hadn't. I've got some pics as well and a bit of film but have not a clue how to post them!!
We're still laughing about the vanished minis enroute to Perth.

:D:D:D

[Willie M]

BIG THANKS, and well done to Julz n' Rob. Great day out with some fantastic wee roads and scenery, didn't let a few showers dampen the day. Loved the run up to the reservoir. Superb :approve:

Highlights for me were GAJ & MacB starting a fight outside the hotel after lunch ;), the greedy gets who had a least 3 puddings (you know who you are :p) and Zoooooom's superb execution of the hairpin bend on the Dalcalpon road :cool: Oh, and that mad blonde wife that accosted us wi' the big dug at the Hermitage :clown:

Another great New Mini Scotland adventure :cool:

[Julz]

:IAww shucks, cheers folks! We're just glad everyone made it back safe, sound and a wee bit manky!!:eek::approve: Glad no-one got lost, although Kirsty obviously decided the first turn-off after Kirkmichael wasn't good enough for her (yes chickadee, the bright yellow mini is a wee bit hard to miss in the rear view mirror!!;)).
Apologies for my inability to spell, tell left from right, count and write down my own bloomin' phone number!!:blackeye:
The kamikaze VW was a bit scary, even worse, it was a girl driving!!:eek::kiss:

I even had a bit of fun on the way home, leaving Scone, some child in a honda civic decided to overtake me, til I decided sod that, looked at him as he was alongside, grinned, winked, then dropped a gear and waved bye bye!! He'll not try that again in a hurry!!:approve:

Anyway, big thanks to John at Apex Signs for making the panels for us;) and also a big thanks to Siobhan for finding that taxidermist so quickly, Squidge the hedgehog is now being kept safe and sound on my dashboard!!:D

[Kirsty]

A brilliant run Julz and Rob!!! Brilliant roads and food!!! Hats definately off to you both!!
RE: T-shirt, you will just have to wait and see!!! HEE HEE!!!
RE: Rubbing legs (unless someone else has also taken up that pursuit) In my defence I wasn't doing it at the same time as the brolly thing!! Not enough arms/hands an all that!! HEE HEE!!!
RE: second exit, oooops thot I'd got away with that one but I blame my navigator for singing along to choones that I will not embarrass him by naming (but knew all the words to) instead of doing his job!! It's ok tho he has been fired!! HEE HEE!!!!!
Thanks again for a fabulous day, it was a total scream and really good to see all the old faces and the new ones, just hope we (well I) didn't scare any of them off!!!
John....what can I say.... tooot tooot!!!!!! HEE HEE HEE!!!!

[Astrohaggis]

HUGE thanks to Julz'n'Rob! :D Brilliant run, even as a passenger! I would have said navigator but I appear to have been SACKED!!! :eek: I only missed ONE turning! :p

...and you're the one who HAS the Rick Astley CD Kirsty!!! :eek::dead: (I was slagging him off not bl**dy singing to it!)

I do hope that Zoom's nob is safely re-attached now - you really should be more careful while you're driving mate!!! :I;)
