From Loch Lomond Shores to Dunoon
Sunday May 29th 2005
Scotland's Annual Mini-only Run

Having had five fantastically successful runs since the inaugural 2000 run between Edinburgh and St. Andrews, the Mini Clan's Thistle Runs have voyaged from Anstruther to Eyemouth to Oban using some of Scotland's finest roads and through the most stunning and beautiful scenery.

For 2005 the Mini Clan are have arranged another famous starting place; Drumkinnon Tower at Loch Lomond Shores.

From this beautiful starting point we will take you up the Loch and wind you over to Argyll and up the Rest An’ Be Thankful.

The journey then goes down some spectacular roads along the banks of Loch Fyne and over the glens to Dunoon.

Once in Dunoon we have been granted special permission to recreate our “Mini Cavalcade” into the town and to our central parking area where our judges will under take the challenge of the Show ’n’ Shine, including a category for best MINI!

The usual goodies will be part of the entry, such as a numbered magnetic rally plaque, sticker and Run magazine. You are only guaranteed a full run pack if you are amongst the first 140 to enter.

Entry costs are £10.50 before the 8th April and £13.00 thereafter. Entrys can be made online here (http://www.miniclan.com/on/thistle/index.htm).

[GAJ]

Extra... Extra...
The Mini Clan has also arranged a special deal with Western Ferries - the ticket is £6.75 for a Mini (or i presume a MINI) plus driver (a saving of 25%), extra passengers will cost £2.50. These tickets can be ordered now through a Clan member or (easier) bought on the day from the Clan, depending on availability.

[Duncan Stewart]

Helen and I have booked a 3 day holiday in Arrochar so we can enjoy this fully (no long runs to & from). I canny wait :D.
A fantastic day out for Minis of all ages

[Craig]

Just sent my application away today - roll on another run!!

[phantom]

Just booked on line + 1 ;)

[davesminis]

I will be there too, it will be the first outing for my classic (hopefully she will be MOT'd by then) if not it will be an outing for Kimmy, my mini one.

Dave

[ELFMAN]

I'll be sending my application away in the next day or so. The Thistle Run is a fun day out with lots of great roads and Minis/MINIS of all types.

The (positive) reaction of people in the towns and villages along the way and the final cruise through the town is a sight to see! Don't miss it.

[Crombers]

That's me applied/booked :D

[Scottie]

applied online yesterday:)

[minimadtez]

Ill be there in my classic.
Hes feeling a bit left out with my new car :D

[Davidson2]

Oh its good to be back! Booked today!

[ELFMAN]

Yo! Davidson2, long time no see! Reading your spec for "Mango Blue" - "OZZZING sex appeal"? is this the "Osbornes" special edition MINI? I think we should be told...... "It's a F*€#¢*§ MINI *åßÝå®* adventure, man..." as the Prince of Darkness would say. See you all on the ÝÝÝSabbathÝÝÝ

[Smurf]

Smurf and Orville (classic) are also now booked!

:D

[lightbody]

Me and "Dennis" booked :)

[phantom]

Got my run conformation today by e-mail, I'm No 13! :p

[Heather]

We did a reccie of the route yesterday and its going to be a belter!

[Scottie]

[lightbody]

[Crombers]

27 for me :cool:

[ELFMAN]

Sent dosh etc off a while back. Still awaiting confirmation, should get it soon though.....

Any Lanarkshire/Glasgow folks want to meet and convoy up to Loch Lomond?

[Smurf]

People who "Paypal" paid and registered online got an e-mail confirmation.
Those of you who applied by snail mail - a confirmation is currently winging it's way to you by the same method.

Shouldn't be long! :D

[RichardV]

Just got confirmation the other day - im number 12....

looking forward to it, some awesome scenery im led to believe!

[Duncan Stewart]

Number 15 :D

[davesminis]

I may have to be changing. I am all paid up but my classic is still far from being road legal so it looks like an outing for Kimmy might be on the cards!

[Crombers]

Gary , Heather ,
Just been checking on the Clan website regarding inviting a couple of passengers along for the day. Does this cost extra or does my entry fee cover all car passengers ? (I am not getting the ferry for the way back as I,m just gojng to drive back to Balloch).

Cheers,

[GAJ]

The entry fee covers as many people as you can cram into your car. No extra fees are payable.

[The Mini Clan]

[Crombers]

:cool: News of the event has today been published in the local (Dumbarton & Vale of Leven) paper (The Lennox).
Article was entered by Mninclan , GAJ , Heather , might you have been responsible for this ?

[Smurf]

The whole of the (hardworking! ;)) Thistle Run committee (including Heather, me, lightbody, craigd and many others) is responsible for the press release.

Watch for it in a publication near you! :D

[Crombers]

Well done to all you hard working guys & gals :approve:, quite a few people in my office noticed the article & asked if I was going to be on the run. I enthusiastically said would be indeed & hopefuly a good few will turn out to see us all off :cool:

[Scottie]

is there any update anyone:question: it's just the last email dated 21/4/05 said there would be a update in the "next week or so".

It's just my e-mail has been down more times than up in the last couple of weeks and i'm worried I've missed something.:)

[seany]

not yet fiona.

[Smurf]

Don't worry - nothing missed.

It's going to be a FANTASTIC day out !! :D

[Mini Me]

Help,numpty in distress......wangled the day off,joined the clan and can't find where to try and sneak ma name doon :eek::blackeye::(<if i hide at the back,nobody will notice>

p.s if i do manage to get ma name on the list, i'm bringing a 6yr old who is madder than everybody on here put together,none other than mini-minime;);)

[lightbody]

Fully booked I'm afraid! (if you read the page carefully).

However you can still turn up on the day and get a 'day ticket' but this may be more limited than the full run pack that the pre-bookers will have received.

[ELFMAN]

Any takers yet for Lanarkshire/Glasgow area convoy to Loch Lomond? Those rumours of me and the plague were pure tabloid speculation, nothing more!

I'm "Number 51". Shades of the "Prisoner" series....... One for all the pensioners out there.......

[Smurf]

I'm afraid I'll need to be there WAY earlier than you guys!
Hope you find some takers for your convoy Euan.
A convoy to the start is a bit of a tradition!

[lightbody]

I also need to be there rather early... you might want to post your mesage on the Clan forum too to see if anyone's up for a convoy?

[Crombers]

Fiona, you should have had a confirmation email with your run number on it. Just remember that if you can, but you are definately signed up (your registration number along with your name is also enough). How to get to Loch Lomond Shores? - couldn't be simplier. Head for one of your favourite eateries (the Hungry Monk in Gartocharn) and continue on towards Balloch. Go over the river (where all the boats are at the boat yard) still keeping to the main road. You will come to a large roundabout (you will see Mc Donalds on the other side of the roundabout to the right). Turn right here - there is also a caravan site down that road also. LLS is well signposted, you shouldn't have any problems. Any probs, give me a ring.

The Lennox


Mini classic set to rev up into top gear
May 19 2005

By WILLIAM COCHRANE
Ê

LOCH Lomondside is set for its own Mini-adventure this month.

More than 150 Mini cars take the high road to Loch Lomond Shores on Sunday, May 29, for the start of 2005 Thistle Run, the flagship event of the Mini Clan Scotland, the countryÕs leading mini enthusiast club.

Based on the famous London to Brighton run, the event will travel from Loch Lomond Shores through the best of ScotlandÕs beautiful scenery and glens, up the Rest and Be Thankful and along the banks of Loch Fyne, to finish at Dunoon.

Participants will assemble at Loch Lomond Shores before forming a colourful cavalcade which will follow a route through the site and past Drumkinnon Tower. Cars from all over the UK and abroad are expected to take part in the spectacle, which mixes the nostalgic classic mini models with the new modern classics.

A Mini Clan Scotland spokesperson said: ÒThis is a wonderful day out for all the family.

ÒEveryone has seen the film ÔThe Italian JobÕ, and everyone knows someone who has owned and loved a Mini.Ó

Damon Scott, head of operations, marketing and events at Loch Lomond Shores, added: ÒWe are delighted to have this as part of the Loch Lomond Shores events programme.

ÒEveryone is really looking forward to hosting this unique event which will give visitors the opportunity to see the huge range of minis on display against the backdrop of Loch Lomond.Ó

Cars will begin to assemble from 10am before the cavalcade at 11am.

Full events information is available by phoning 0845 3454978 or visit the website at www.lochlomondshores.com

Minime are you joining us.:question:

[Mini Me]

thats a big 10/4,on the convoy:p

[ELFMAN]

Hearing on Radio about fairly big delays caused by Roadworks somewhere in Balloch area.

Hopefully this won't affect us on Sunday, but worth keeping an eye (or ear) on, just in case. Maybe worth calculating a bit of extra journey time just in case there's a hold up.

[Crombers]

Looking out to the Dumbarton to Balloch bypass as we speak & all is well. Works may be in Balloch or on the A82 Loch Lomond road but I was up that way last weekend & all was well

Fiona , emailed you with my mobile number for Sunday incase of any delays.

See y'all soon peeps :D

For your info there are 2 sets of roadworks on the way to balloch, the first is at the M9 overbridge just behind the castle and the second set is just after Gartocharn (it took me ten minutes to get through there this morning).

Can't wait, only just more than 12 hours to go!!!

[Mini Me]

[Craig]

Wee special thanks to Mr & Mrs Thorn for putting up with ma wains all day(they can be hard work),Cameron is usualy quite strange with new people as he know's poeple don't understand him, but you were both just great with him,i just wanted to let you know it's appreciated ;);)
And yes,he now want's to know why he cant get a pony,or a big spotty dog that eats it's on spew(how cool is that dad,why can't Kennedy do that).....cheers for that:evil:;)
I have just to sent the 2 cat's to heaven tomorrow :eek::blackeye:

[Scottie]

top day can we have a Thistle run every Sunday.:D

Nice to catch up with Sean and Una.

Cameron certainly knows his minis:D and Kennedy is a wee cutie.:DThey must take after their mum Minime;)

[Craig]

What can I say - dropped in the deep end again, hopefully it all turned out OK. I have had an absolute blast!:D

Weather was fantastic for most of the day especially at Dunoon. Met some really nice folk and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Just going to have a beer and relax before work tommorrow.:D

Thanks to everyone who turned up, especially those who travelled such a long way (Sean and Una...). You are the people who make the run.

Cheers

Wee Tired Craig ;)

[Mini Me]

get pished chap,you deserve it.......
There should be a new prize next year tho,for most shat in cabrio by seaguls !!!:pbuggers:mad::(:disapprove:

You said roof down :eek::blackeye::p

[phantom]

Superb day, Craig you are the Man, well done :D:D:D

[ELFMAN]

Craig, Rob and all the MiniClanners who put the Thistle Run together - take a bow! (But mind those kilts with the breeze....)

A great day (again), and what a brilliant collection of Minis/MINIS AND sunshine! My head is now 'Works' red, and the same temperature as my exhaust - used about a gallon of 'After-Sun' so far, but it's really hard to drink the stuff.

Nice to see some folks I hadn't seen for a while - and some I've seen recently. We dived off after the 'New MINI' awards when we saw the ferry coming in and panicked. After much revving and tooting cheerio to you, we got to the queue, to be told right away by the CalMac guy that it was the WRONG FERRY (Should have looked at the tickets, eejit). So we drove back and got on the proper one. DOH! Sunstroke.

Nice run back to Glasgow behind Flick, Davidson and a wee bronze Mini. All's well that ends well.

FAB day, see you all soon.

[davesminis]

TR 6 was excellent. Big thanks to organisers, sponsers and western ferries. Weather was great and Kimmy enjoyed then run. Got home and cleaned her up, she would have won dirtiest car on the run if that had been a category. Fantastic route! Nice to meet some people and put a face to those names!
see you all next year!

Dave

[Crombers]

Thanks to all organisers for a superb day out. From the minute we started to gather at Loch Lomond Shores til I waved off Fiona & Allan back at Balloch , what a day :cool::D:) (great to get that wee Polo back eh Allan?). Good to meet up with all whom I spoke to , some well kent faces (Fiona Allan , Iain , Heather Gary & Euan & obviously a few new (Craig , Sean Una & the Broon Clan - Cameron for his big smile seeing all the cars & Kennedy for trying to stick her finger up Archies nose). Best bit of the day had to be following the Innocenti Mini having turned off the Rest & Be Thankfull. With the two of us hitting the twistes there was a little spirited driving going on. On one bend the the little thing lost it & ended up just ever so slightly off track!!
Superb driving skills from the driver :approve: & when I spoke to the passenger at Dunoon he had all but recovered too.
FAB DAY OUT , CHEERS GUYS :approve:

[lightbody]

What a fantastic day. Lots of people helped and without them it just wouldn't have gone so smoothly. The police in Dunoon were fantastic too (except when they forgot we were to have a cavalcade round the town centre!)

Craig - all your signs were down by about 9pm last night but did you HAVE to put some of them 8 feet up the lampost!?!? You must be taller than you look!!

Having not had the chance to do the run itself, my drive home was WONDERFUL - the roads were deserted and I did the route in reverse. The scenery was spectacular and my induction kit was roaring its head off (Depsite the fact my loadspace was crammed full with Gazebo, a Mini seat, and tons of other stuff).

The ferries were ever 15 minutes or so until 10:30pm ... I don't know why everyone was in such a rush to leave on a beautiful sunny bank holiday in a seaside town!

My head is burned... and we leave for the IMM in Spain tomorrow... and yes I'm taking the kilt with me! Unpack Thistle Run stuff... repack for Spain...

[Smurf]

We had a fantastic day too! Spent 3 hours in the bookshop dealing with Registration, and then emerged like moles into the sunshine to see MANY minis!! Where did they all come from? :I I was asked to take the Radio presenter in the cavalcade, so we tagged on the end. LONG before we left the car park, the train and piper had appeared behind us!

We waited for the one poor sod who broke down at the start, didn't leave that long after all the rest, but ended up having our own wee Thistle Run - our two cars, the now fixed one from the start, and the AA man, George! :cool: Caught up with Sue, Mick and Murph, and two other cars for the last part of the run from Strachur - that felt a bit more like it.

Made it to Dunoon by the skin of our teeth for the cavalcade. Punted the Polis mowta out of the way, grabbed a mug and legged it again! :D

After finding loos and food in Dunoon (desperate for both by this point!), relaxed a bit, and really enjoyed the sunny afternoon, looking at all the fantastic machinery on show. Archie won tackiest accessory for his Orville the Navigator! Cool ! :cool:

The ferry journey home was a blast too!

We know how much hard work went into organising it all, it was a fantastic day, THANK YOU to all the organisers, other helpers, etc - you really deserve a HUGE pat on the back. :D

Vaila, Archie, Smurf and Orville.

[lightbody]

Oh... and thanks to all who gave me a cheery wave as i cowered under my umbrella at the top of the narrow Glen Douglas road!

The reason for some being that high was if I put them further down, I would have needed more cable ties and have to have run 100m back to the car in torrential rain to get them, so I just pushed them up a bit. Forgot about the smaller person who would have to take them down again.:D

Enjoy your trip to Spain, safe journey and remember the photos of the coo. sent you a pm with ma mobile number for the piccies.

Craig

[Heather]

A big thanks should go to our friend and sponser, Iain who gave so much to go into run packs and towards prizes, including a big prize to the best car of the run.
Thank you very much from all the committee at the Mini Clan.
