Eggy,

I done the run at night time pouring in rain in a hi-lux surf it was a mare.

However in daylight and in a Mini it will be good.

Loads of single track road's which I don't mind keeps the speed down:p:D

[Eggy7496]

Eggy,

Thanks enjoyed the run enjoyed the Pizza hut was good to walk past the massive que waiting for a seat.:D

[Sheilz]

Thanks Eggy, me and Nik had a great time. Really enjoyed ourselves - the driving wasnt too insane, the roads were great and the scenery magic. Now that we're home and Wee Eck has had a bath I dont even mind doing the loop, and the loop, and the loop............in Inverness for a wee cruise before supper! I have some photos but dont have a clue on how to include them.
Cheers anyway

Thanks for the great day - I had to laugh when I got home and so the state of the car - a run should be judged on how much sh*t you take from all over the country and bring home !

The journey back was a bit weird - I got split up from the pack, but found a select few hiding in a petrol station in Elgin. No Optimax so I kept going till Keith, where I did a pit stop the Ferrari team wuld have been proud off.

Great day and good to meet you all again.

[john]

Sadly Eric you did such a fantastic job of the run we will obviously expect such a high standard for the next one:D




It will be a hard act to follow:D:D



I had a ball :D:D:cool:

[The Dogfather]
