Ohhh!!!! Im getting very excited about Abroath/Cullen RUn alreaday as it will be exactly 1 year to the day that I went on my first Mini Adventure!

We've booked into Holiday Inn at Broxden Services for Saturday night so any of you who are coming along for Sunday run and dont fancy the long trip to and from Aberdeen for Cullen start should book too!

And if you havent already booked your room for Cullen the at Highland Highlands Hotel in the Aviemore Highland Resort for Cullen its not too late to take advantage of the preferred NMS rate if you mention "NMS" when booking:

Nope :cool: a rather nice shiny black cooper with viper stripes, much like my signature :p;):D

[The Dogfather]

Shiny? That'll be a first for one of your motors :eek:

I take it that the novelty of getting a MINI back hasn't worn off yet?

[bpirie1000]

mmm think we( ABERDEEN LOT) should stop past Allans and get our cars washed.....

mmm what you think allan.....

maybe not....

[Tam1314]

Just managed to get booked in at the Travel Lodge in Perth for the Saturday night for the Cullen run on Sunday

Cullen????:D

[ashley smith]

hey guys.
Just to let you know, I aint taking my mini (Molly) as im going with Shaz in (Daisy), just to let you know for numbers...
See you all in a few weeks. :cool:

[Gismo]

Once numbers are known i'll advise a suitable meeting place in Montrose

[Smurf]

I have posted details (as they stand) of the convoys to Arbroath on the Mini Clan forum, and asked for it to be put in the newsletter. I'll add names to each convoy thread if we get any takers.

So no fleeing off at 100mph into the distance if we have those nice Clan people and their classics tagging along! :D

[The Dogfather]

Allan what time do we need to be in Montrose by?

Remind me what time we have to be in Arbroath :I

[The Dogfather]

I thought you knew! :I:I

[The Dogfather]

The Dundee Convoy is leaving at 10am so we should probably be leaving Montrose about 9:45, to get the best parking spaces :D

[Gismo]

I thought you knew! :I:I
Ok, venue for Montrose will be the car park about 250 yards past the Roo's Leap car park, simply head for the golf course or the beach, you will see the car park that supports Roo's Leap and the golf course on your right, just carry on for another 250 yards and the meet place will be there on the right hand side.
We leave Arbroath to convoy to the meet at 11am, so, we need to leave Montrose at 10:15 sharp, no later :evil:

[craigcooperSworks]

Can i be put down for this convoy as well? Looking forward to my first Mini adventure...:D

[Sheilz]

What time is everyone meeting at Duthie Park? Are we leaving enough time for cars to be spruced up in Montrose (Shell garage has washer)? At this time of year we'll either arruve splattered with mud or dead beasties :disapprove:. Over the past few weeks Ive barely been able to make Montrose from Abz before my windscreen has c.zero visibility because of the squashed moths and things.

Paul's organising it, but, in order for us to leave Montrose at 10:15 you'll need to leave Duthie Park at 09:10 at the very latest, that'll get you to Montrose at approx 10:05 :) assuming someone knows where the car park i've listed is ;)

Did you put your name down on the actual meet???
No worries if you didn't, but, it'll give shoppie an idea of actual numbers for the day :)

[The Dogfather]

I was intending to leave Duthie Park at 09:00 as I don't intend to be driving at my normal pace as the passenger will be fitted with a speed limiting device (Jackie)....

So please make sure you're there by 08:45 as we'll be leaving dead on 09:00!!!

[Gismo]

Even driving under the national speed limits for any of the roads you'll be using you'll be in Montrose for around 9:35, i'll see you at the meet point in Montrose at 10:00 :)

[The Dogfather]

Subtle changes!:D

Suppose he could sort out cheap catering, after all Arbroath is known for it's fish.

[bpirie1000]

[MartinSullivan]

See you at Duthie Park, Redpoint will be meeting us about Stonehaven in his Rally car. Anyone who has a spare front seat - Cooper_Si is coming up from down south, so if anyone can give him a front seat to Arbroath that would be great

I have Ash Smith in the front with me but i can easily take a passenger in the back if need be. See you all tomorrow morning just before 9!

[Nenah]

See you all at Duthie Park at 9am!! :D

John and I are travelling in Winnie as his racing Cooper car wont be ready until Monday :(

Winnie is all cleaned and polished - thanks to Deeside Auto Valet - how's your car looking, Martin? Euan said he was visiting you today for a spit and polish too!

See you in a few hours - yeah!!:cool:

[monkimagic]

Oh my, this looks like a great time is gonna be had by all, except me, me and the family are off to southern spain tomorrow, so sadly, very sadly we are gonna have a raincheck. I would love to have seen the stunt bike show !!!!

Hope you all have a good day and I will see the photos when I get back,

Monki

ps I will be coming back from muchals at the back of 9am so I may see the convoy

[Marc]

Lots of nice looking cars today. Hope a good time was had by all.

Unfortunately I had to go to work:( but enjoyed the drive from Aberdeen to Newtonhill:cool:.

looking forward to seeing some good pics and catching up with you all at a later date.

[MartinSullivan]

Good to see you Marc, it was me that let you into the middle of the convoy :D I was a bit worried when you shot off - I thought everyone might start following you and we would never get to Arbroath. You missed a good day - book early for next year ;)

[Marc]

I realised it was you Martin as we had met before at Altens roundabout. You were the first wave I ever got from a mini.

I didn't know whether to stay with the group until Newtonhill or to go on my own as if I had stayed people might have wondered what was up when I started indicating at Newtonhill.
