[Craig]

Absolutely cracking day out! ! :clap:

Thanks to Rob and Christine for organising, it amazes me how much I enjoy a run with so few cars. ;)

Thanks to Mum for the Tea and Tea Loaf mmmmmmmmm :yes nod:

Never got a chance to give the car a wash when I got home, It'll have to wait till next weekend... :thud: :clap:

[Scottie]

pics.???

glad you all enjoyed the run the smaller the numbers the better I like it. Big is not always best.:smilewinkgrin::thumbs up:

[ELFMAN]

Thanks to Rob and Christine for a great run. Roads manky, cars well manky, just shows you there's more fun than 'good clean fun' - get down and dirty with NMS! Cheers to Sioban and Malcolm for the Tea and cake - hits the spot every time. And for the folks who couldn't make it today - you not only missed a good run, but also a close look at a rare MINI... well done Ma and Pa - it's a wee cracker! (well two wee crackers if you count Siobhan!). Hope you have many happy (s)miles in it. Today's run re-kindled my faith in my car and probably saved me £8.5K trading up to a JCW - proves that you have to use your car for fun and not just trundling back and forth to work or you'll forget how good it is - BUT it might still be up for JCW Big Brakes and a Milltek exhaust before the Oxford Run! Watch this space...

Hope everybody got home safely - I followed Stoney to the Jet Wash (that one IS better, Rob), so my car's nearly white again. Today a certain car was THE MANKIEST EVER - no clues, wait for the foties! Lunch was brilliant value again - top marks to the ladies at the Poacher's - with friendly service as usual, you can't beat it. Really glad I went today, despite coughing my face off from time to time - took my mind off feeling lousy for a few hours. See Y'all soon. By the way, Greg - Pete Sampras won!!!

[weefossy]

Great run Rob and Christine, done at a very sensible pace to match the conditions. Will try and post up some "dirty" pictures later on. Thanks for all the positive comments on the car, much appreciated.

[Duncan Stewart]

Thanks to Rob & Christine for another fab run :thumbs up:
Superb lunch, great weather, lovely scenery
Glad Euan had refound his faith in his Mini :smilewinkgrin:
Thanks to Sioban and Malcolm for the tea, cake & biscuits. Congrats on your new Mini - a stunning machine.
And thanks to Craig for fitting a nice straight NMS sticker on my Mini :clap:

poor jude mon the WC50

[GCA3N]

Well guys not long in, managed to get home and not find out the tennis score....somehow, so thanks all for not letting on.

Anyway Robs run. I have to start by saying when I turned up this morning seeing only 7 cars, then David and Fiona pulling out I was really disappointed and thought that having only six runners would have spoiled it. I could not have been more wrong. I'll be honest the small amount actually made it really nice and it was easier to get to chat with everyone. The run itself was brilliant and even although some of the roads were precarious at best it was done at a perfect pace, well done Rob. (well apart from one we stretch. lol) anyway thanks rob for organising it, really enjoyed it from start to finish, looking forward to your next two.

Obviously have to mention mum and dad's new car, and what a car, I had the privilege (well actually maybe disadvantage) of driving with it in my rear view mirror, but after it becoming somewhat hypnotic I had to let someone else take a shot. A trully special special car. And in case anyone asks I have already had first dibs on it, so hands off.

Hope you get your car sorted David/Fiona I was really gutted for you.

By the way Stoney I think you membership for the manky club will be torn up, I never even bothered washing mine on the way home and you did, tut, tut. Joking aside how dirty were they.

Anyway really enjoyed everyone's company can't wait till the next one. Obviously need to get my door sorted before the next run, nudge nudge wink wink (ask Craig.)

Only got one or two pics so will post them shortly.

[Stewart]

Wow wait a mo is that one of those Numbered limited edition Mini’s? Where did that pop up from what happened to the White Works I’ve got saved to the pc? Looked great fun.

Dear lord I’m no having that up my rear on the Highland Tour…………..I Call Last car place! :hand:

Bloody right!

I’ve got myself down for three runs so far but had the Windscreen go bang and a few other unplanned expenditures pop up. Plus you guys don’t need a lonely Cooper slowing you up. Even Duncan is now a S Member.

Don't feel like that Stewart :hand:. B*ggarall wrong with a cooper, coopers are ace. And besides you wont be at the back yourself, Dougall will keep you company. We can be the vanguard , most fitting role for Dougall at least ;):thumbs up:
