Fintray House Speed Hillclimb 9th May

[phantom]

Hi all, right who got a letter from John Clarks inviting them to the Fintray House Speed Hillclimb on Sunday 9th May ( near Aberdeen ). Now there must be a few as I phoned first thing this morning to say we will be there and if I was one of the 20 first come first served to get a ride on the cercuit in a new mini, no chance, thats already full! Does anyone who is going fancy a convoy up to it? I rang John Clarks tonight to see if anyone who did not get there little baby from them could use the free hospitality. Unfortunately they said no, so the admission price is £3.00 for anyone who did not get a letter. So rather short notice to say the least, but is anyone up for a convoy.:)
Depart Dundee KFC at 10.00am
Depart Montrose, Somerfield car park at 10.40am
Arrive Duthie Park at approx 11.20am

Got my letter and have booked 3 people for it, will be leaving Montrose but could meet up somewhere

[phantom]

Hi Alan, Ok, we can meet up on route if you want, I reckon the A92 will be the best route, I will start a list and hopefully we will get a few! We can sort times etc mid week once I get an idea on numbers.:D

[Julz]

We booked yesterday!!

[Julz]

Can you add my +1 please (also known as the long suffering Rob!!:sleepy:)

[phantom]

Sorted Julz, what have I let my self in for here!:)

[phantom]

What time do you guys and gals wish to be at the event for, I was thinking around 12ish or is that too late for u's. :)

[DNV122]

Me & Sarah & weans (still deciding if this is a good idea or not....)

Any thoughts on a departure point in town ?

[phantom]

Hi DNV122 ? Thats four cars hopefully, I thought this was going to be a dismall flop but things looking up, I was thinking of Dundee KFC as the starting point, don't know were you are leaving from, Sandwich island:I is this any help:question:

[DNV122]

I'm in Aberdeen - so looking for the locals to come up with some plans - what about Duthie Park to allow a meet with the 'pae possy'

[phantom]

I take it the Pae Possy will be us from Dundee and Montrose:p all this funny jock talk is still troubling me even though I was born in Helensburgh and have lived in Fife for the last 23 years, grew up in England:(

Oh No! not that one:pMy work mates get me to say it, still cant say it right:II was up here for 15 years before I found out it wasn't " onion gravy on it as well ":clown:Well I'm off to travel up to Fintray today to find were to go and find meeting spots, no point having them if I dont no were there are.:cool:

[phantom]

Right then, went up to Fintray today, so heres the plan.
Depart Dundee KFC at 10am
Arrive at Montrose and depart about 10.40am at Somerfield carpark, by train station.
Should arrive at Aberdeen, Duthie Park around 11.20am, then move on to Fintray.
Does that suit everyone, or not.

[Gismo]

That's fine by me :)

[DNV122]

Yahoo - a plan.

I passed the turnoff for Fintray on the way up to Turriff.

I've persuaded a chum with a red MCS to come along, even though he should have received a letter from JC...

[Scheckter MC]

11:20am...... Duthie Park... Sunday 9th........ I'll be there.... +1...................

[phantom]

Welcome aboard Jody.:D Lets hope the weather was as good as yesterday.

I went down to the village of Hatton of Fintray, no obvious signs for a big house, but as its before we get to Hatton I'm sure it will be sign posted on the day.:p

[RS]

It's out from the village a bit. On the day it becomes very obvious where you are meant to be, so there shouldn't be any opportunity for getting lost.

It's certainly our intention to come along. We'll join in at the Duthie Park.

[DNV122]

No sign of John - are you still coming along or is the sight of racing MINIs without you in one too much to bear ?
