sounds good Duncan, I'd be available on the 23rd.

[Forbes]

Yeah sounds sweet

[gillianmcd]

Hi guys! Yep I'd be interested in that! Any of those dates.... :-)

[SuperCooperS]

Ill definately come to this.. 23rd suits great but im sure i could do the other dates too..id go down the road and meet in dundee and drive back along the whole route with everyone.. i definetly should have a decent induction kit fitted by then and would be a good test to hear it roar haha.

[stoney]

Possibly for any of the dates just need to see what's heaping with moving house


IF IN DOUBT FLAT OUT :)

[Mon the fish]

Apart from the weekend of 8/9 October, any date good for me

[Fester]

I'd be interested in that but not 23rd or 30th earlier or any date in November fit me.

Great route Duncan! Put me down for a maybe for this, as I have my stagger in October, plus a another wedding, and possibly a trip to Cardiff for sporting agendas so cannot commit yet!

[euan]

Did this route a couple of years in a V8 Merc SL, it's a superb route.

[Duncan Stewart]

Thanks for the interest - 23rd looks like a good date for most (but not all - sorry Fester)

[Fester]

Not to worry some day a run will not clash!!

[gillianmcd]

Youre already in Gillian :smilewinkgrin:

Ha ha! I'm just sooooo keen!!! :yes nod:

[Dundee Checkmate]

I meant to ask, as I have never been on a Mini run before, what is the pace?

[GCA3N]

I meant to ask, as I have never been on a Mini run before, what is the pace?

The runs are the best part of the mini scene imo. The pace is upto you. There will always be quick and slow drivers so you just drive at the pace that suits you. As long as you have the run notes then you'll not get lost. There are loads of stops on the runs too for the group to catch up and to stop for a natter (and a brew if mum and dad are there lol)

[SuperCooperS]

I was wondering when we can get our hands on the pace notes.. do we usually get them emailed to us?

[Craig]

The run notes are normally put up 1 week or so before the run. Is normally up to you to print off your own notes, but sometimes the organiser will bring some notes with them ;)

[SuperCooperS]

Hi Craig, cheers. will look out for them

[Sheilz]

Can I be put down as a 'probable' for this one please? I'm pretty sure I can manage it but not definite.

[Duncan Stewart]

I was wondering when we can get our hands on the pace notes.. do we usually get them emailed to us?

Going to do a proper recce now I know enough folks are interested in doing the run, to create the run notes

As Craig says I will put them on the site when ready so you can print them, but I will bring some spares too on the day

[Duncan Stewart]

Can I be put down as a 'probable' for this one please? I'm pretty sure I can manage it but not definite.

Will do, glad to have you along :thumbs up:

[Dundee Checkmate]

when you off for a recce?

[Fester]

Looks like I am going to make it after all. Stick me down for it please.

[Duncan Stewart]

when you off for a recce?

Going to try and do it this weekend

[Duncan Stewart]

Looks like I am going to make it after all. Stick me down for it please.

[SuperCooperS]

:ragin::argh: Right... due to a combo of Visiting Relatives, Landscape Gardeners (with a BIG Skip) and Loft Clearance Duties, the 'Window of Opportunity' I thought was opening on Sunday has been finally slammed down on my fingers. No way I can make it.

Have a good one folks - hopefully I'll be able to go on the next run... unless the Gods have other ideas :sad:

Ali - give Stoney a shout about meeting at Hamilton Services.

That's a shame wee man, would have been good to catch up :yes nod: see you next time :thumbs up:

Just back in the house - knackered! Driving the "Merc Camera Car" tired me out more than I thought. 300 mile round trip and it was superb. ;). Well done Duncan & Helen for a great day out. Hope the stunning photos from Cairn O' Mount come out :laugh:

I'll try to get some of the video edited and posted when I have a moment :yes nod:

Great to meet some new faces, Ollie certaining did well in his One keeping up with "Stewart Racing" :clap:

[edd44]

Should I upload to you tube or onto photobucket??

[MINIme:)]

I'm really looking forward to seeing pictures:yes nod: glad to hear you all had a great day.

I'd love to do a run but I'm pretty sure I'd be too slow and it would just be annoying for others and stressful for me so I doubt I will do one:sad::frown:

Sadly, twisty, unfamiliar roads with lots of other cars about are exactly where I slow right down unfortunately so I'm prob just a really boring and rubbish 'runner' :sad:



...If there's ever a mini pootle then I'm in! 3045


:bigwave:

[Bazthemod]

Well done Duncan, good run today!

Highlight has to be the sheep running for cover with the noise of Ben and Ewan booting it haha :thumbs up:

Great selection of MINIs there folks! Glad you had a good day. Seems like ages since I was on a Run, May in fact - seeing the photos just reminds me of what I'm missing!


love [/B]to do a run but I'm pretty sure I'd be too slow and it would just be annoying for others and stressful for me so I doubt I will do one:sad:Sadly, twisty, unfamiliar roads with lots of other cars about are exactly where I slow right down unfortunately so I'm prob just a really boring and rubbish 'runner' :sad:...If there's ever a mini pootle then I'm in!

:hand: You'll never know till you try! We all have different 'Comfort Zones' when driving, some folks like to go a bit quicker, while others are happier to take their time. There are stops along the way for you to catch up if you need to and there's always a 'Tail Gunner' to make sure everyone's accounted for. We always have a good time at the lunch stops with some fine banter and fine grub. I know for sure I wouldn't have enjoyed my MINIs half as much without NMS Runs and the Fab people who take part - it's what MINI ownership is all about. If you're REALLY not sure, why not hitch a lift and take part without having to worry about the driving, then you might want to drive next time - it's the best way to enjoy your MINI! :thumbs up:

[Dundee Checkmate]

Had a great time on our first Mini Adventure, although being at the rear did involve some high speed catch up at times, it also got me some high speed slaps of verbal what for from the wife. :ragin:
But I'm glad to say we are now divorced and I can be contacted in the home for down and outs in Dundee.

I was clearing out a loft in the morning and 'entertaining' relatives in the afternoon... none of which were as much fun as you were having. Watch yer cheek, 'Well Boy, or I'll come over there in the night and stick spuds up yer exhaust! :yes nod::smilewinkgrin:


Heh... Didn't know you were from Motherwell Ali!! haha, we were thru there on Saturday night!

..and the car made it out in one piece! :p:smilewinkgrin::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::popc orn:

[Gismo]

Rob, when i get home on wednesday i'll ask you to e-mail me the you tube clip so that i can upload to the NMS server, that way it'll never be lost :thumbs up:

[Burple]

Great Run again Duncan and Helen! Cracking roads! Got to say I never noticed the sheep legging it.. :laugh::laugh:
Music on and Windows up, we STILL heard Ben's car as he took off :thumbs up:

There was certainly an abundance of the Works variety on Sunday! :thumbs up:

Good choice on the pub for lunch too, that was a blummin' nice burger!
Got a couple of vids up on the 'tube.. first from Glenshee out to Ballater.. the second fromt he top of glorious Cairn O' Mount (:laugh:) down to Brechin... Not the most spectacular bits of the run, granted, but a good wee test of my £10 video camera! audio sucked a bit, so I bunged some music over it :hand: Certainly not to the same standard as Craig's new projector toy, no bad for the price tho!

Loving the first video - can't think why :yes nod:

[Stewart]

I'll watch the clips later on on the TV later, really good quality for £10 :)

love the sound of Robs Car...

[Stewart]

I'm really looking forward to seeing pictures:yes nod: glad to hear you all had a great day.

I'd love to do a run but I'm pretty sure I'd be too slow and it would just be annoying for others and stressful for me so I doubt I will do one:sad::frown:

Sadly, twisty, unfamiliar roads with lots of other cars about are exactly where I slow right down unfortunately so I'm prob just a really boring and rubbish 'runner' :sad:


Its ok I'm just as slow, I let the faster toys have there fun and just catch up. Pick a nice run next summer and you'll enjoy it. Not that I like pushing my car but when you don’t have the oomph of the works or S or the better suspension and brakes it still does not mean any less the fun. On the plus side its a new car you've got not run in so you dont want to be doing the like when the feel is even a bit new to you.

Love vid 1, looks fab on a big TV..... made the daughter in law feel sick .... he he:smilewinkgrin:

Thanks Stewart!:thumbs up:

... Maybe we should do a mini pootle 3049 near Glasgow sometime:lol:. Big picnic. You're right though I'm still getting a feel for how the car handles, corners, brakes etc and trying to keep the revs down so maybe consider it at a later date. Or Mr Elf's suggestion of being a co-pilot.


I watched part 2 of ewans vids.... Nearly fell into a deep trance with Stoney's fog light!! :eek: :bigwave:

[Burple]

Loving the first video - can't think why :yes nod:

lol :D

Bit close with that Merc after the bus tho!! :eek::eek::eek:

[zimbo]

Never realised this was 2008 :lol:

[Burple]

Never realised this was 2008 :lol:

Yeah yeah... The camera automatically timestamps the video. I reset it the day before the run - obvious in the fist vid. but when you turn it off and back on again it deletes the modified time file from the root folder on the card and rests the date back to 2008. no way round it without putting in another modified file every time you turn the camera on. It doesn't bother me.. the camera was a tenner off ebay! :p:p:p

[Dundee Checkmate]

where is the video that was getting done from the Merc?

[Craig]

my PC died yesterday - BSD. :frown:

been wrestling with my laptop (and wireless) for the last 48 hours trying to upload video to YT, but being my first time, it's been a pain. Now plugged directly into my router with a Cat6 cable so hopefully it will go quicker, but editing the video with my laptop is sloooooow

Cool Vids Craig.

Where's all the "scenes of a sexual nature" Elfman talks of?

Also, that music seems very calming for you. Not quite as 1990's Majorca club-heaven sounding as your music usually is. Or, was Mrs D with you? :lol:

I can't even get the MINI out of the garage, as there's a whacking great skip with half our garden in it blocking me in....

Hey Guys!
Any chance uploading the videos to the Video section of the forum so they are easier to find.:thumbs up:

poor trapped mini :sad:- if you get desperate give me a shout and I'll come round and get you for a fix / pootle :motoring: (Not letting you drive my sweetie though:hand: ...and you'll have to have very clean shoes to sit in her too:smilewinkgrin:)

Euan, that sounds like the offer of a date.

[olivercrowther]

Hi Duncan,

Jim, Martin & myself would just like to say thank you very much for organizing the run last Sunday. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and are looking forward to the nextone. Since we got back and cleaned all our cars we have noticed a lot of stone chipping, but it was worth it! So in to the body shop for our three minis!

On that note, if you or anybody in the club need any body or paint work done, JRM Coachworks would be happy to help. Obviously discount for club members.

MINIme, I'm always up for a bit of a Pootle, but I don't have to be 'desperate' do I? I DO have VERY clean shoes - however, I might have to be carried to the car to avoid what's left of our garden, which is (mostly) in the skip, but several bits of it have made a run for it... You don't know what you might be letting yourself in for. I am mostly harmless though, as long as you don't scoff all me Werthers! :hand:

[ELFMAN]

Ian King, you're a Very Naughty Man... :hand: (Tenner in the post by the way)
I'm sure MINIme's motives are purely out of the goodness of her MINI Heart! :yes nod: :argh:

Got Craigs clips last night on the TV, fantastic quality and I even enjoyed the wee yelp for joy when the Merc went up in the air I take it. Also enjoyed the Magic over take…. ;)

A wee bit of editing software to cut the time down and you’re onto a winner. Was there any software used for stability or was it just smooth on the mount? Anyway great effort and enjoyable. I was thinking back to some of the fantastic Mini views I had at the back on the Highland tour runs.

If I'm honest Stewart, I just didn't have much time to troll thro all the clips so I thought just get them up for people to see. I used the software that came with the sony camera called PMB ? Also the mount is the only thing I used, no software.. ;)
