'July Jolly' Sun 27th July

[ianking]

The run formerly known as 'June Jolly' will now be 'July Jolly'

Pretty similar to last year except fingers crossed it doesnt rain with the same ferocity as it did last year and cause the idiot at the front in the grey mini to take the wrong turning.

Date this year will be Sunday the 27th July.

We will be going for lunch at Carriages again unless there are any peoples that particularly dont want to go there but they were great at accommodating us last year, i.e our own car park and our own room within the restaurant.

So get yer names down if you fancy a good day out with good scenery, good banter and good food.

thread from last year (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=11038)

MEETING TIME WILL BE 10.30 am FOR AN 11 am DEPARTURE.
SOMMERFIELD CAR PARK PENICUIK EH26 8LE

Cheers

[ianking]

Fingers crossed for good weather tomorrow.

Looks like it could thunder here at the moment.

[ELFMAN]

Weather's well muggy here in Larkhall - but hopefully the sun will shine on the righteous tomorrow.... I'll be the one driving along under his own wee raincloud then.

The 'Larky Convoy' of me and Stoney will see you tomorrow - if we're late, it means I've c*cked up the directions. If we're early, it means Rob was leading the way.......

[Davidson2]

Sorry ianking, had some family issues to deal with and have just not had the opportunity to get on line. So looking forward to tomorrow, even had CLPG shining the Clubman, but circumstances have changed yet again tonight and we will be unable to attend the run.

Sorry for the short notice. CLPG and I hope to be on a run again soon. D2.

[ELFMAN]

Beautiful Weather, Beautiful Scenery, Beautiful Cars... and let's not forget all you Beautiful People! Maaaaaaaaaaan. And home in time for tea. Many thanks Ian and Sarah for another Fab 'Jolly'. Lunch as good as ever too. Bumble - I was going to wave 'Cheerio' when we left Penicuik, but you disappeared, so you'll just have to accept it by proxy. Just think, about this time the prat in the audi will be trying to T-Cut the pasenger side of his car and realising he needs a two grand respray. Revenge is ours sayeth the NMS.

I'm off now to listen to some 'Traffic' or 'Free' and drink 4 pints of Boots 'After Sun' in a vain attempt to put out the approaching inferno that is my sunburned napper. Then I'm going to try to clean the insect massacre off the front of my car... Love & Peace Y'all, till next time.

[AndyP & Lenore]

What a great day.:D The weather compared to last year was brill, can you arrange that for the Borders Run?;)

Thanks to Ian and Sarah for organising another fab run.:D

See you all at the next meet (as long as we have a doggy sitter).

Cheers

A & L:D

[Colin]

Big thank you to Ian & Sarah, we couldn't have had a better day for it. Makes up for last years wet weather :D. Great roads, much better when there dry.

Lunch was yummy as usual, glad I went for the three courses :popcorn:.

There were plenty folks giving us a wave as we weaved our way through the countryside, that's always cool, makes you feel special :blush:.

Oh and nice to meet the new folks ;bigwave:, see everyone on the next run.

Here's some pics....

Another great day out with NMS... we should start to charge for days like these, as it doesn't get much better than that... :thumbs up::thumbs up:

Well done to Ian and Sarah. Ian, glad I didn't have to take the lead this time as I got lost twice today cos I had no pace notes person. :argh::argh:

Sarah - watch out L&B don't give you an asbo with that exhaust... :moonie:;)

Stephen and Shelley - hope you enjoyed your first run and also Gers444 (sorry don't know your name) good to meet you.

PS - Jude is feeling much better and thanks people for their good wishes... :yes nod:

[Mini Ecosse]

Well thats us back in Oban, and the sun is still shining.
Thanks to Ian & Sarah for a great day out.
Hope to see you all again soon;bigwave:

Stephen & Allyson

[weefossy]

Back home safe and sound after another great day. Ian and Sarah, you did a great job, big thanks from the Weefossies.

Will need a new tyre, as I have damaged the side wall of the front near side. Must have been that rock on the tight left hander. The tyre isn't torn but there is a bulge on the side wall and there's me thinking I got away without any damage to the alloy. "C'est la vie"

[N12 JLK]

great day, nice and sunny, great company. My nephew had a ball today and wants to go on Craigs run so you will see him again, really ggot the Mini bug. Hello to all new members today hope you had a great time and see you again.

[Duncan Stewart]

Huge thanks to Ian, Sarah and everyone who came along for another great mini run :thumbs up:
Sorry about my outburst at the moron who nearly hit me, I don't usually use such language :blush: (hope his paint was wrecked on the bushes!)

Anyway it didn't stop me really enjoying the run, banter and lunch.

Forgot to say thank you Euan for the cars for Kerr and to Craig for letting Lesley join you.

[Bumble]

Ian, Sarah ... thanks for organising this fabbie run and even organising the weather to shine down on us too.

Had a blast (as usual) could have driven those roads all day and still wanted more!

Nice to see new faces and for another yellow to join our fleet.

Roll on the next one!

[ianking]

Thanks to everyone for comming along.
Weather was amazing, much better than last years monsoon.
Got the D Cluman van motoring along nicely setting the pace (thanks to Eastern for the free loan)

Good to meet some new folks as well.

Roll on the rest of the runs this year.

I hope the idiot in the A6 needs a side repainted. Well done to Jason for spinning the car around and chasing after him. I think it cost you £20 in petrol and lost 2mm on each tyre but you got his reg number just incase. :D

[Neil and Lorna]

Big :thumbs up: to Ian and Sarah.

Fantastic day as always.

Weather , food , twisty roads just simply brilliant. We had a great day.

HI FOLKS THANKS FOR MAKING US WELCOME WAS A GREAT DAY OUT HOPE TO SEE YOUS AT MORE DAYS OUT;bigwave: DAVID AND FIONA

[ELFMAN]

Great foties everybody.

Nice to meet you David & Fiona - Keep On Rockin'!!!

Malcolm - bummer about your tyre - sounds familiar, exactly the same one as me on the last run. To top it all, I discovered a big Phillips screw in my equally new back near-side tyre a week later..... £224.00 in tyres in two weeks and two almost new Goodyears scrapped, it would make ye greet, still at least mine are only 16's! Your tyre at least gave its life for a good cause - The July Jolly.

[Gismo]

Looks like i missed a great day out :rolleyes:
Nice looking scenery and a few new faces in there, great stuff :thumbs up:
