[Neil and Lorna]

Rob.

Were going to have to pull out of the run.

We're booked in to stay in Fort William on Sunday/Monday to go skiing on Monday/Tuesday at the Nevis Range.

We were going to travel up after the run on Sunday but the weather for Glencoe area is looking mighty dodgy. So we would rather travel up in daylight.

Have a good one.

All the best.
Neil and Lorna.

Sorry we're not joining you today folks.:sad: The Borders was covered in snow when we got up. Just can't risk getting stuck out the area with a business to run. If it had been closer to home or on roads we were more familiar with, we may have risked it.

Great day out Rob. Food was superb and when you take into account the cost - it was outstanding :thumbs up::thumbs up:

Great MINI Roads, although I think some people need to pay some council tax down there as I have never seen such badly pot-holed roads...:thud::Whistle:

Some nice photos there, including the last ones with our tribute to 50 years of MINI with Red/White & Blue :yes nod::yes nod::yes nod:

[Stewart]

[ELFMAN]

That was a really good day out! Thanks to Rob & Christine for putting together another fine run. Special mention for Rob for a perfectly paced lead drive today, which took into account the variable conditions. Fast enough to be interesting, but canny enough to keep everything safe. Nice one Stoney! See folks, he's no' as daft as he makes out...

Ta to Malcolm & Sioban for the tea and Tunnocks Pit-stop - perfectly timed. As others have said, the lunch at the Poachers pub was great - good honest grub at an unbeatable price and served with a smile, couldn't ask for more. Nice photos too - the snow on the hills was very picture-squee I thought. All in, another NMS New Year winner. Hope everbody had a safe drive back. I used a Jet-wash on the way home, must have been a magic one, 'cos it turned my grey and brown car blue! See Y'all soon.

[minimad]

looks like i missed a good one:argh:

[D3 JDA]

A big thanx to stoney and christine for organising another fab run and what about the food then a 3 course meal for £5.50 what a feed excellent.David & fiona:thumbs up:

[ELFMAN]

One last thing - forgot to mention how nice it was to be out enjoying the beautiful Scottish countryside on the 250th Anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. 'We'll tak a cup O' kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne'.....

Any excuse for a swally! Happy Birthday Robbie.

[Crombers]

Looks very much to me like a red white & blue MINI gathering (Stoney's up to something here, me thinks :rolleyes:)

Great photies, looks & sounds a grand day, well done chaps & chapessessness (!)

Pity I was working , C'mon the workers :thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Pity I was working , C'mon the workers :thumbs up:I'm with ya on that one :thumbs up:

[weefossy]

Have to agree with all the other comments, excellent run at the right pace and great food. Good banter on the "walkie talkies" with a special burns flavour. Well done Rob and Christine. :thumbs up: Only took a few photos, so here's a couple.

[weefossy]

Just reminded me as we set off through Larkhall yesterday of a wee funny from last year. Absolutely no offence intended, but I thought it was a cracker :hand: Mods remove if required

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c394/weefossy/Larkhall_edited-1.jpg

[Craig]

thats quality Malcolm and VERY true.. :thumbs up:

[Duncan Stewart]

Thanks to Rob and all who came for another great day out with New Mini Scotland :D We had a great time splashing in the puddles and avoiding the pot holes :p

[ELFMAN]

Re. Malcolm's Cartoon:
I'll just have to say in defence of my home town that it's not THAT true... and those 'bats' look awfy big, we only have wee bats, which I'll be using on the next run to 'sort' Malcolm.

The Larky Crew's oot tae get YOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Ye're CLAIMED.

Plus the fact, nobody in their right mind would let their kid wander around Larkhall in a Cel'ic jersey, so the cartoon is fundamentally flawed.
