Stick this Date in your diary (and on the NMS calendar please some kind MOD..;)).

The run will be the same as last time(I think, although I may make a couple of changes..;)) Details in this thread.. http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/snitzforums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4143

[The Dogfather]

Craig, can you add me to this as a maybe.

[Craig]

all changes made. ;)

[Craig]

Right,

after having a look at the route again (not done another recce yet..) I have decided to put a cap on the number if cars. it was going to be 20, but by the time I had made my mind up, it's 21 now....;)

I will start a reserve list, so those of you who still want to go, put your name down, there are always call-offs..:D

The main reason for this is a couple of the car parks/stops do not have huge amounts of space and I want to make sure we don't have problems.

Hope you understand.

Craig :approve:

[X30YES]

Just noticed this one and I'll be onshore then ...pop me in as 1st reserve Craig if you can plz

[Craig]

job done Angus :D

[ELFMAN]

I've just noticed the above exhaust stuff.....I feel strangely used and violated....and not in a good way. Why can't I be followed by carloads of lovely girls instead of noise-crazed chums? Please don't answer that, as it'll only depress me more...

No offence guys, I still respect you, plus the fact I still owe Marky C & Co-Pilot a pint for their daring M6 Tollboth Rescue!

[X30YES]

<Is exhausted looking for it :p;):D

[minimad]

please put me down for this run

[indigomatt]

Aye, put me down as well :p last yr was a good'n :cool:

[Craig]

that's you added as a reserve matt. had to put a cap on entries due to the size of some of the car parks etc... hope you understand.. :D

*sobs* ;) nay that's cool...however I may have to; eradicate, do away with, eliminate, finish off, blow away, dispose of (ahhh bless thesauruses) someone from the list :p now who to pick, mmmmmm :D:D:D

[graeme stockton]

Gonna put me doon for this wan, ah ken that ah wull be oan reserve,. I cannae manage arbroath and the i.m.m. has been canx

so please put the no's up 25 has a better ring tae it than 21...dont ya think,

STOCKY

[Craig]

that's you added..... as for 25 ? ? need to double-check the parking arrangements when I check the route - going to make a couple of little changes...

[Craig]

Quick Update.

not had time to do the recce before my holiday (which is this Fri woohoo :approve::approve::approve::D), so the recce will be done the weekend after I get back.

I'll get the directions posted up shortly thereafter.

I have decided to change the numbers back up to 25 so that all the people listed can go as I have a plan for the smallish car park :D so those of you on the reserves - your in!! ;)

Craig

[Sweeney]

the weekend after you get back would be the arbroath run and f+m show would it not? :p if your after any help i'd happily join you on the recce :)

[Craig]

nope, I get home at about 6pm on the sat (Arbroath Day) to get the car ready for 8am the next morning.. :sleepy::sleepy::sleepy:

I will be knackered :D

the recce is the following weekend, your more than welcome to come along...:D

[Sweeney]

ah, 6pm home from hols washing and detailing car for show for 8am... someones going to sleeeeepppp innnnn :p

i'll talk to you on the sunday then about next weekend :)

[Craig]

sorted :D

[Sweeney]

ps: still no word about my leather fetish parts :( will someone be taking your car in while you are off?

[Craig]

yup - If I get the nod, a nice fellow will be looking after my car...;)

Craig...


yipeee...! :D:D:D

[minimad]

thanks craig looking forward to this one

[graeme stockton]

Hey Thanx for findin room for the reserves

I will now manage a trip this summer

As for the recce...I work in the area and the A817 from Loch Lomond to Garelochhead is a brillyant road, amazin, give it a wee try , 10 miles long, 20 if return done, highly recommended, the next bit, the road from Garelochhead to Arrochar(a814) is really hilly/bumpy and a lot of arse scrappin could be involved in this route, so up from Loch Lomond along the A817 around the roundabout and back onto the A82, give it a try it is a brill road.

Another wee comment , a few years ago i saw a Rolls Royce rally , aboot 75 o them go up the rest and be thankful, A83, but instead of goin up the main road thay went the old road, which has some great hairpin bends at the end, you can see it in the Glen (Glen Croe) when you are goin up the main road, a wee request to the land owners could give us another wee interesting detour

Pop into the T.I.C./Forestry commision office at Ardgarten if you fancy it

Anyway enjoy yir holiday, unfortunately Ah cannae do the Recce as I will be in The big Apple.

[Sweeney]

Whats the plans for food craig? :sleepy: :p

I notice last time it was packed lunch/BBQ.

"Update 29/3 - thought for lunch is to have a BBQ (with disposables) somewhere on the run - will check this out on the recce. People could just take a packed lunch, but if the weather is OK, I think this would be fun."

[AndyP & Lenore]

Last year we all just went our seperate ways at lunch time and then agreed a time to meet back at car park.:D

Not sure what Craig is planning for this year.

[Sweeney]

"seperate ways"

think i'd take a packed lunch and STAY in the car park then :p i'd be lost after the first turn... :D

[AndyP & Lenore]

"seperate ways"

It was just seperate ways in Oban. Loads of restaurants/cafe's/chippies.

[Craig]

yeah - it will be much the same this year... due to the numbers involved, it's a mare trying to get one place to eat and please everyone, so we will be stopping in Oban as per last year and everyone can suit themselves... (bring a packed lunch, go for a bar lunch, chippy, tea and scones... whatever :approve:)

[stoney]

well i think i will take a wee bbq if it a nice day !!!!!!

[Sweeney]

think i'll follow you then ;)

re: hat + sat nav cable i could collect off of you at this run if you want?

Angus wants to meet at hamilton bp for this, did he send you an email too?

[Craig]

I would be cautious re the BBQ as we are parking in the centre of Oban and they may not allow you to light up in the car park... I would check with the local council first;):D

[Sweeney]

need to hunt out a chippy then :p

[stoney]

ok then it will be the chippy just take the sat nav so dont get lost ;)

and thats fine for the pick up point for me :D

yes got the email thanx A:cool:

Minimad/Tony - you are gonna LOVE this one man! These roads are where you REALLY enjoy your MINI. Heard you 'Tooting' going past the shop yesterday.

If you can't get the PDF to download, give us a shout and you can collect a copy from the cinema if you like.:D

hi

yes that would be good. just saw your bro on the A68. I still need to pop round and pick up the photos of the Galashiels common riding that he took for me. I keep forgetting.
I could probably come round tomorrow after work. Would you be able to do me 2 copies of the run notes.

We won't be in tomorrow, we are here till 11pm tonight or Neil will be in from 12pm on Wed.

[ianking]

im no sure if i can make it tonight.
I might have a site visit in Coldstream at 3.30 so was just going to go straight home after that. Otherwise i will come in on Wed.
If my survey is cancelled then i will pop round today. Ive got the good ladies car the day as there was a wee bit sunshine out. Thought i would put the roof down and get a wee bit tan.

HELP!!!

I need the help of an Aberdonian... :D (It's nothing to do with sheep. :eek::blackeye::p:D)

a member (AN03REW) has agreed to take my chili pack spoiler off my hands (Freeee ofcourse), and to keep the good MINI Karma flowing, I wondered if a kind Aberdeen person could collect from me on the run and take it back to Aberdeen with them. This would save him quite a few quid on delivery... It will all be packaged so as not to damage anyone's interior. I believe he's from Peterhead.

Anybody help ? ?

If not, I'll go and see what the delivery costs are... :D

[The Dogfather]

Craig, I should be able to help out - but I can't say for definate yet though as I'm still a maybe for the run.

Had a proper !!PANIC!! last night - that bloody Emissions light came on again (remember the Oxford Run folks?).

Into Dealer this morning, ran Emissions checks (MOT style) and everything passed, but C02 reading is high - they said it must be v. marginal as is all within limits and it will be fine to drive - so I'm still on for Sunday....phew! Cost me £40.00 this time (F.O.C. last one!) as it's a Playmini Manifold/Cat. Have Emailed Playmini to see what they say. I didn't mention your name Andy!!!!! Funny how things always pop up at the most inconvenient times eh? As the Bishop said to the Mother Superior. So if there's a big bang on Sunday, you know where to look.....Oh well “Live fast....die.... middle-aged”.

Aw shoot, Euan, thats the last thing you need.:( How long have you had your PlayMini exhaust? If it's under a year it will still be under warranty. Although I'm pretty sure you've had it more than a year.:(

Euan, have you put any other fuel in the car this time? Or have you stuck to Optimax?

Glad the cars still ok for Sunday though.:D

as long as we can park near to Oban so we don't get soaked when going fur sumthing to eat. I don't mind rain otherwise gives me a chance to watch the wipers.;):p

[ELFMAN]

Cheers Andy,
Had the Manifold for way more than a year and the system for more than two, so no comeback if the cat's going/gone - I'll be interested to see what Playmini say. Filled it up with BP Ultimate in Biggar at the start of the month, but have filled at least once with usual Optimax since then. Maybe the BP chemicals don't like Playmini Cats - remember I had just filled up with Ultimate on the way up from Oxford? We discussed this before Re. your manifold problems a while back. However, as I said, emissions are OK (I have the print out to prove it) and the car's running fine, so I'm going to stick my Hendrix badge over the emissions light and forget about it for now! ROCK & ROLL eh?

If I have to, I'll check out alternative Manifolds etc as I don't want to put the O.E. one back on - too restrictive.... and too quiet! Hey Ho...mair money....still, I could incorporate it into my Dastek Brained & Pulleyed/GRS Intercooled/Alta Inducted/Yokohama Tyred/Image 17" Wheeled daydream Autumn Spendfest. It's cheaper than a trading it for a new standard 'S' after all...just.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Eaun, there's defo a trend with Ultimate here. Although I wouldn't have thought it would take a month to develop a problem.:(

I wouldn't worry too much about the light coming on. One of the "fix" options Dastek considered with our faulty cat was to put a wee box of tricks on the engine management plug to confuse the management system to think the Co2 sensor is reading correctly. So that may be an option for you to consider. Although I have no idea who/where you would get that done:question::question::question:

Be interesting to see what PlayMini says, thats if they even bother replying.:eek:

A.:)

[Sweeney]

Is it only playmini setups this is occuring on with using bp ultimate? (I've used ultimate since i first filled it up, only used optimax a couple times)

[AndyP & Lenore]

quote:Originally posted by Sweeney

Yeah, the PlayMini cat seems to be sensitive to the additive in Ultimate, for some reason. When our emmisions warning light came on we had just filled up with Ultimate a couple of hours ealier. Then on the Oxford run, Euan had just filled up with Ultimate before his emissions waring light came on. Can't catagorically there's a link, but a trend is certainly developing.:(

[Sweeney]

Ah, didn;t realise you had playmini cats as well :)

[AndyP & Lenore]

We don't now, but we did when the emissions warning light came on. Euan still has a full system. We just have the cat-back system.

We won't be praying for sunshine as that stops customers coming into the cinema and we have an expensive MINI habit to feed.

But I don't mind praying for sunshine for the Argyll & Bute area. Only "him upstairs" seldom listens to me anyway, so there would be little point.;)

If you spent more time cleaning your car and less time on here asking STUPID questions, you won't be a embarrasment tomorrow when the guy is taking pictures for a national magazine...

in short - GET OFF YER @RSE AND CLEAN YER MOTOR! :eek::blackeye:;):D:approve:
