Aberdeen Convoy thread now created - see social, meets etc

Paul, forgive me for being thick/blind but where is the info for leaving from Duthie Park? Quite fancy going down to Arbroath if there is still space as not been on a run since i got my own mini. Were you the one up front on the Baxters run at the start of the year? If you were, i was with my pal Ash that day in her black mini. Cheers, Shaz



Is it a yes from you then?

[shoppie]

Hello again all

Just to clear any confushion:p(he he!) We shall be leaving from Elliot Industrial Estate which is located above McDonalds/Focus. So instead of turning in the Focus Car park take the next left and follow the road until you see my MINI (V4 ONE) The Police escort will leave (if they are on time this year!!):I:I at 11:00am sharp. Russ Swift will begin as soon as we are parked up. If you are late phone me. I will PM my number to whoever requests it.
Thank you all again for your support - it wouldn't be a show without you:cool::cool:

[The Dogfather]

Shaz the link for the Aberdeen Convoy: -

http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/snitzforums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4965

I've added you to the list :D

[Smurf]

Shoppie - remind the police this year not to stop the convoy half way through to let the traffic move!!! :mad::mad:

The second half of the convoy got to the showground before the first half last year, because we didn't know the convoy route, and got split up by the highly intelligent copper at the traffic lights, who stopped us to let some 'normal' traffic go, and then when asked "where do we go now?" just shrugged his shoulders.........
:dead:

[shoppie]

They've all been told the score!:D The convoy will not be split, all traffic will have to wait for us:p:p

Not long now... I'm getting a bit excited;);)

[Kirsty]

Hi there!! I'm still coming and would like to meet whoever is leaving from Stirling at Stirling!! Still noseing through the masses of posts to catch up but I will find Craig's thread and add my name!! See you there!!

[T8SLD]

Shoppie, sorry for the delay coming back to you. Yes, can you please put my name down if it's not to late? Shaz

Bad dog Mini - thanks for adding my name to the Aberdeen thread for leaving from Aberdeen. Looking forward to it since it will be my first run! :) Ashley Smith is coming along with me!

[dundonian]

can someone add me to the list please!!

[shoppie]

Both Done!

[ELFMAN]

OH BU**ER! I've just been "reminded" that we have a "Family Do" on the 23rd - which I can't get out of on pain of death, or worse.....Sorry Shoppie, take me off the list. Have a great day everybody! Remember to duck when the Tornado comes over, and remember to turn when the Duck comes over. Arbroath - SMOKIN'!

See you on Craig's Argyll Run.
Note to self: GET A DIARY.

[shoppie]

The deed is done!:eek:

[JohnO]

Is anyone leaving from Glasgow area for this??
Certainly would love to make it(sounds fabulous) but can only make the decision 24hrs before I'm afraid.

However, the posts are in the Members section of the Clan Forum.
No interest from them yet though. They might organise their own convoys.
Lesley12 - no need to worry, you're on the NMS list anyway.

[KINGHORN]

[redpoint rallying]

Hey kids,

I will be rattling down in the rally car from Banchory, via the 'Slug Road' to the A90. What time will anyone be passing by Stonehaven? I might need to tag on behind.....not my usual co-driver so could end up anywhere heh heh!!!

Cheers!

[Cooper_si]

OMG look at all these posts !!! Right guys n gals...who reckons i should travel up all the way from tamworth near birmingham ? Im gonna have to come up via train or plane tomorrow and martin sullivan says he will let me stay over at his....you reckon its going to be a good run ? ;)

[Gismo]

I used to regularly travel down south and enjoyed every minute of it, so, yes, i think you should travel, but, remeber that the Arbroath meet is just that, various little convoys are arranged for the meet at Arbroath. See the first page for links etc to explain the day better :cool:
However, it is a fantastic day (weather permitting) but, the very next day is the Cullen run with an overnight stop near Aviemore

[ScottishCooper]

Just thought I would thank the organisers for yesterday. Was our first run and it was an excellent day. Good to meet a great bunch of people. And thanks to Craig and the guy with the yellow cooper with the same wheels as mine (sorry forgot your name) for the advise on my wheel offset. The drive through the town was excellent followed up by a great day. Had to bail early, as forgot medication !! Hope to see you's all again soon.

Craig & Carol

[Smurf]

We echo all those sentiments. :D
Fantastic day out, and an unbelievable event again, Howard.
Hope you got as much out of it as we did!

Nice to meet some people, and put faces to names! :D

[Kirsty]

What a fantastic day!! Nice to se the usual suspects and the new faces too!!! Thanks Howard again for organising our wee annual holiday to Arbroath!! We surely beat the record for last year?? Thanks Euan for the short cut, we managed to get out ok and KJ joined in too so we had our own wee convoy for leaving too!!! Didn't take to long either!! Police did a better job this year in keeping us altogether!!! I don't think I got the award for drowned rat (like i did last year) but if you saw me today I've definately won the award for Skelped face of the day!! As for Neil...points don't mean prizes but....(if I can work out how to do this) Prize does go to you for modelling mom and dad Fozzy's Convertable Cooper S!!!!! HEE HEE!!!! ;):p A huge thank you to mom and dad Fozzy for a superb picnic as always!!!! :D

Hey Dave - sorry about that - we had a box of Meguiars goodies to dish out to the shiniest MINI but there were too many so looked for the dirtiest and you won i'm afraid:I Especially on the bird cr@p count!!:I:clown:. So you are now the winner of a pack of meguairs wash strips, an ultimate towel and bottle of quick detailer.

You have mail!:)

There was also another prize which went to Big Gordy for the winner of the "Oldest MINI with the cleanest most untouched engine bay":D A wee meguairs bag to put his bottles of polish etc in.:)

[shoppie]

Thanks for all the comments peeps. Good to see some folks getting names to faces on Sat. For those of you who don't know me, I was one directing you onto the grass as you arrived:I:I I did come back to the stand to see you all when the Arrows were on but a few had left. "boo-hoo":p:p No - seriously, major thanks from us all once again for your efforts in making this event a raging success. The Dundee Courier are quoting 30,000 attendance and the Press and Journal 20,000, so we'll go for around 25,000:cool:. Locals reported it took 45 mins. to get home from the park by car!!
My wife June made it into both papers pictured hanging out of Russ's MINI waving to the crowds. She's not stopped grinning yet:D:D
My car also survived its appearance as Russ's 3rd vehicle - "phew"!!
My son Alan (who led you from the industial estate) and I got our reward as well with an aerobatic flight in the "Tiger" Puma round the town, finishing up with a 50ft, 140 MPH dash down the side of the cliffs
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Still no idea of how many MINIS we had??

Hi Martin

As soon as I have the winners list I will post it @ www.seafront.org.uk

[MartinSullivan]

No probs Howard - just post all the prizes to me :D

Cheers Wul. Look forward to getting my dirty mitts (and dirtier mini) on those claning goodies.

I should also explain that the car is not usually that dirty and has since been cleaned. I was doing a camp for young people all week, so it was sitting doing nothing except aquiring birds crap. I then drove from pitlochry to arbroath at great spped and aquired the flies!

Just wanted to say what a FAB weekend its been for me. All the travelling on fiday morn (6am :eek:) and then getting to aberdeen at 2:30pm was definitly worth it! MANY MANY thanks to Martin Sullivan to sorting out accomodation and introducing me to most of you, youre all fantastic peeps and would but many southerners to shame :D
Took a few photos, there was soooo many minis i couldnt take much more on a tiny memory card :( Highlight for me on saturday was the ride in Martin Pages RALLY CAR !! wow how cool was that car, and the drive through the town certainly got some looks, im sure to say i will be up again next year :cool: Well im shattered today but must plod on....left aberdeen at 1:40pm and didnt get home until 10:15pm because some numpty left a bag on the train at glasgow so we had to evacuate the train ASAP, also the police drove me from glasgow queen street to glasgow central ( i only asked for directions) ;) but other than that alls well !!!

Great pics Si :), last one is my favourite ;) Will have to let me see the ones you took in Abz

[Steph]

I loved our minis (so cool, so shiny), the convoy (police escort!), the Tornado (full body vibration), and the Red Arrows (9 of 'em!) best (and I watched Russ Swift minis both times). I don't understand how anyone got sunburn though - I'm still white as a sheet ?!? Maybe I was in a slightly parallel universe. Most annoying thing was my camera died before I took more that three photos, so I'm dead jealous of all the cool pics here!

Thanks Howard, was nice to meet you (you caught me just as I was setting off home)

[weefossy]

Howard, what a great day:cool:Many thanks to you and all the Arbroath organisers. 14 packs of smokies survived Cullen and have been distributed to the "chosen few" in North Berwick:p

Sioban's "chuck wagon" did a roaring trade. Gives a whole new meaning to " loaves and fishes"

Jason, Lesley, remember "oor Nellie" was once the same size as Kerr;) look what happened to him (see pics):evil::evil:

Fiona was right with 55 cars. Did we get a mention in the Sunday Post? Hope I didn't scare the young reporter off. I thought she said Sunday Sport....hee hee!!:clown::I

Here's to next year.:D:D:D

Phew!!:eek::eek: Your car must have have smelled like a fish shop by the time you got home, or did you drive the whole way with the roof open??:D:D

[weefossy]

Vacuum packed and in a cool bag! Had some for tea tonight…..delicious!!
