Meet at Stirling Services from 10:30hrs, departure at 11:00hrs.

Lunch at Crieff Visitors Centre (details available here.... Crieff Visitors centre web site (http://www.crieff.co.uk/restaurant.htm)) This should cater for all tastes, so you should be able to find something you want to eat, or you could have a picnic in the car park. :D

[Craig]

Ok folks,

I have set a cap at 30 due to one of the car parks we stop at not having a great deal of parking and also trying to keep 30 cars together is going to be "challenging". ;)

I will start a reserve list for anyone still wanting to go. Can those that are listed as going, please let me know if they can't go now, so that someone else can get on the run. Cheers :thumbs up:

Recce being done on Sunday to check the roads and mileages are ok. :smilewinkgrin:

The recce was interesting to say the least... nearly got taken off the road by a tourist in a campervan on the Tummel Valley road, never had my ABS work so hard... :ragin: Also my Alloys are nearly square with some of the wholes in the road that I didn't manage to see.. :frown:

Gary, I know Craig is away from a PC all day today, so I gave him a quick call to ask about your request. He's confirmed you're welcome to come on the run if you can make it. So I'll add your name to the list.

[MINI William]

[vintageb3]

Craig...

I totally forgot about the run:eyes up:...Haven't been near the computer much over the last week or so...so haven't really being checking NMS.

So...sorry mate..but it looks like it was a great run!

Will try and get along next year...

P.S. Thanks to AndyP for calling to find out if i had broken down:thumbs up:

[N12 JLK]

had a brill day, Mrs Nicol felt sick a few times on the twisty roads:thumbs up:, Sorry we missed the last bit after Pitlochry we had to go to our nephews birthday party (7), we had a we joint get together as I was 35 yesterday:ragin:(boo Hoo). See some of you again at fast and modified ( Mon the ladies Grrr):Whistle::Whistle:.
Nice way to roast your R56 before it goes Ian/Sarah. Good run Craig well done again.

[Bumble]

Fab run today - can think of no better way to spend a Sunday than clocking up a few miles on great roads with good company! Thanks to Craig for another fabbie bunch of roads :thumbs up:

Stoney can still see the look of horror on that marshalls face as you almost gave her a bath :laugh: , Elfie - bad luck on the tyre :frown:

[ELFMAN]

Thanks Craig for putting together another fine day out, which couldn't be spoiled by Rain, Cunningly Tarmac-Disguised Boulders, Midgies and Half a Bee getting stuck to my shirt at 80mph....... ('Can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee, when half the bee is not a bee, due to some ancient injury' - Eric The Half A Bee - Monty Python).

Colin/Lynn - got home OK with no apparent ill-effects from my bulging tyre - let's hear it for runflats folks, with an ordinary tyre I'd have knackered the wheel as well. All I have to do now is rob the MINI Bank tomorrow for the £108.00-ish for a new one....... Still it's better to do in a tyre enjoying yourself with NMS than run over a nail on your way to work!

Cheers to all, old and new, for the usual good company, banter (and a hug!) - see you on Ian's July Jolly, when I will be sporting Kevlar Armoured Tyre-Guards and a JCW Carbon Fibre Insect Net - which can also be used to restrain Stoney when he sees a big puddle and an innocent bystander....

[tree73]

cheers all of you for bringing a huge grin to my face this afternoon. heading home from doing the rob roy challenge, driving other half's golf as he sat complaining about aches and pains, when calloo callay you all zipped round the bends by amulree, fantastic. good too see you all - cherry

[AndyP & Lenore]

That was the most fun we've had blowing cash on pointless fuel for a long time.:D

Many thanks again to Craig (and Jude) for the organising. We both had a blast today, and gave the MINI a good start to the re-break-in process. Up to 400 miles now.:D

Perthshire really does have some absolutely stunning MINI roads.:D

Perthshire also has an old couple who seem to think they one one of those roads.:ragin:

And what luck we had with the weather today too.... despite the gloomy forecast, it hardly rained (heavy).:yes nod:

Thanks again.

A & L.:D

[mini16-123]

Cheers craig that was brilliant sorry missed the last stage out had to head home

[Craig]

Thanks for all the kind comments. :blush:

Elfman - glad you made it home in one piece, I'll amend the notes for next year. :thumbs up:

What a cracking way to waste petrol of a Sunday. :moonie::thumbs up:

[JOHN MILNE]

thanks craig for a great day out
the twisty road over the hill was terriffic :D:D
even managed to stun a pheasant:thumbs up::thumbs up:

[AndyP & Lenore]

And I very nearly managed to finish said pheasant off for you. But he looked round at the last minute, saw yet another red MINI coming at it at and decided enough was enough and dove for the cover of the verge.:laugh:

A.:D

just noticed a nice new scuff on the rim of my near side front wheel, probably got it when we all had to pass Mr & Mrs McGoo on the wee tight road near Elfmans knock. Oh well:argh:

Stephen
PS Allyson took that picture Craig - honest

[Craig]

Cracking photos Stephen and Allyson... :thumbs up:

as for the weak bridge, I've been over than in a 1966 S Type with me and my dad in it, so it had nothing to fear... :thud::moonie:

[Gismo]

Just noticed the Black MINI with the union jack roof, who's is that :cool:

[ELFMAN]

Got my tyre replaced yesterday - £111.00 fitted. Didn't spoil my fun though - just my budget. I think we should re-name that bit of road "Elfman's Knock" as Jason called it! Hope your alloy's OK Jason. Looking forward to the next spectacular 'petrol-wasting' session!!!

[Forbes]

Just noticed the Black MINI with the union jack roof, who's is that :cool:
