[Burple]

This could be nice!

Do you know if they'd reserve a bit of the carpark for us? It's not that big, and every time I've been we've had to wait ages for just *one* space, never mind 30- odd cars on a Mini run! ;):D:D

Don't wanna Pi$$ on your fire, but it's something pretty important to sort out if you're gonna go ahead with the organisation :cool::cool:

Could be a lot of fun! Mind you.. there's some members who might get kept in! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[stoney]

ok i will do that thanx for the note ;)

[stoney]

just spoke 2 zoo thay say thir is no way of reserving car park space so will take a run over and see them so please still note intrest as if i can get some thing sorted i will still do this run !!!

[Sweeney]

tell them you'll just go to blairdrummon then do em out of business ;)

[Sweeney]

Haha, didn't say change it to blair drummon ya dafty :p

[stoney]

ok i took sweeney's idea on bord:cool: and had a look at the safri now that looks better so i have changed as u peps will see please have a look at this page for ur Q,s about the park

http://www.safari-park.co.uk/faqs.php

[Sweeney]

:eek: read post above! :p

If i go theres not a chance that i'll be driving through with my car for monkeys to jump all over it! :mad::approve:

[Wul]

Great idea - although you may be limiting some of your attendees:

Are convertable cars and pick up trucks allowed in the park?
Convertable cars and pickup trucks are not allowed in the animal reserves due to safety reasons. We recommend if you have a hard topped car you use it for your trip.

Knew there was a reason not to buy a ragtop :p;)

[stoney]

sweeney look :p

How safe is the drive through and do monkeys damage your car?
As the park no longer has monkeys there is very little risk of damage to your car. You must keep all windows closed whilst in the reserves. No convertible cars or open back pickup trucks are allowed through due to safety in the lion enclosure

and i know but like this idea better and no prob with parking !!!

well all that have the soft tops can jump in with the hard top im shure thire would be spaces for them :D:Dgot it planed i think :p

[Sweeney]

lions :eek:

Nah. Don't think Lenore will be going. :eek::D;)

[gill]

Put our names down ... we're up for a laugh with the NMS monkeys!!! ;)

Gill, Ewan & Jamie

:D:cool::D

[Smitty]

Sorry, i'll have to say no....hate the idea of taking the car into a safari park....just dont trust those blasted animals!!:eek::blackeye::p

But good orginal idea for a run, i'm sure a few others will take up the idea!:)

[stoney]

well u are very unlikly 2 get any damage done u have more chance of the animals doing a runner !!!!:)

[X30YES]

The first thing you will need to do is get names as you know ,then a recce
see Craigs (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/snitzforums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4143),will need to be done also, with times ,miles ,and distances ,a Starting point ,stops etc in pdf file format , print them and hand them out , or include a link and that will save you some printing trouble Or do you intend just to go from Stirling (Central for all) to the park it's self ?

[stoney]

well was just geiting intrest was thinking of meeting at or neer park going round then doing a run after was going 2 email u and ask all of that and how 2 go about doing this

[Sweeney]

well i'd go, but i don't fancy going through the animal reserves in the car.

[Gismo]

I can make the 2nd September, also, i've taken my cooper through the enclosures, the animals don't go anywhere near you as they are all well fed and mostly are sleeping :approve:

[sedgie]

From looking at their web site they still have monkeys.http://www.x5world.com/images/smilies/dunno.gif

Edit: Correction. It's chimpanzees they still have. Not monkeys. I still wouldn't take the car through the safari park. Not a chance on it. Just simply not worth the risk.

[stoney]

off the web sit in the faq's How safe is the drive through and do monkeys damage your car?
As the park no longer has monkeys there is very little risk of damage to your car. You must keep all windows closed whilst in the reserves. No convertible cars or open back pickup trucks are allowed through due to safety in the lion enclosure

[Scottie]

I would nae take my car through but that's just me. nae monkey business but still a big lion paw on the paint work. yikes I would die.

so are we going 2 take the plunge:question: the way i see it u are more likely 2 have some little ned put a key up the side of ur car:blackeye: or some one bashing it in a car park :mad:

i am def going for 1 :D:D

[Gismo]

Let's all bear in mind that Stoney is trying to organise a run :) the destination is his choice, you either want to go or not, so, try and keep the banter down so that he can keep an eye on the thread without having to trawl through loads of non run specific posts :p
I appreciate everyone's concerns regarding their precious cars sustaining scratches, but, i believe you are more likely to get stone chip damage in every day use than any animal attacks

I hear what your saying Allan. And top marks to Stoney for taking the plunge and organising a run. Good for him!:D

But you have to bear in mind, there's a difference between driving on the open road and accepting what can happen (within reason) and making the conscious decision to put our cars in an enclosed compound with wild animals. I'm sure Lenore and I will be up for the run to the park, but I doubt anyone can convince us there is no danger to our car, therefore it is unlikely we will participate in any part of the run which involves going into the enclosed compound section. Of course, I'm assuming it's optional. It may be that you have to drive through the animal compound to get to the visitor centre. ????

A.:D

A.:DThe potential damage to anyone's car was fully covered in all the previous posts, including 4 from yourself ;) i'm only trying to cut down on the banter so that the organiser can sort out his run :)

[Gismo]

The monkeys are safely camped on a secluded island that requires a wee boat trip to get to ;)
Last time i was there the monkeys were actually throwing thigs at the boat in an attempt to get us to throw food at them :D

Nik, Catriona and me give this a big thumbs up. It was a brill day. Five mins after you all left Crail Catriona decided that she would do the last twenty miles after all. Typical! We ended up taking the scenic route back - via Lunan Beach. A perfect finish to a perfect day (Ok I wont mention the mountain of ironing that I've had to end the day with). The thing that marks this out as quite an extraordinary mini-run for us was getting home with all four wheels still firmly attached to the car.[;):D:D:D Can you put us down for next year?:D:D:D

[Craig]

Looks like you all had a great day out - well done rob. :approve::approve:

work was not too bad...:disapprove: maybe next year.. :D

[X30YES]

What a great day out and a BIG thankx to Rob and Christine for organising a superb day out...also Leslie and Gordon for some superb twisties in the East of Fife area.
It was one of those days that you had to be there to enjoy to the fullest, if you missed it .... :approve:.Next years Safari 2 & BBQ will be a belter ;)....bring on the summer :p:D

Looks like you guys had a blast:D. Sorry we couldn't make it. :( Maybe next year.:approve:

[Neil and Lorna]

Looks like you all had a good day.:D:D

I just hope that some of you that are on the Secret Bunker run don't mind doing some of the same roads again.

Of all the places you could of gone to from Blairdrummond you end up in the East Neuk of fife.:eek::eek::eek::eek:.

Neil.:D:D:D

[gill]

:D:D:D Looks like fun - sorry we couldn't make it this time!

Will try to tell all the neighbours not to move house next year!;)

Cheers to Rob and Christine! (and Sedgie and Hubby for leading for a bit!) Another ace day out, some regulars, couple of new faces :cool:
'Specially good to see Julz 'n' Rob 'n' Craig! He's a right wee smasher!! Where's he get the good looks from? :D:D:D:D:D:p:p:p

Some great roads (when we found them :I:D), and not a scratch on any of the cars :cool:. Those Lions *DID* look pretty hungry tho, and I'm sure that one of them was crunching on something that had a face!! :eek:
I'm pretty glad the guys that work there 'just happened to park' their 4x4 betweet us and the two rhinos!! :eek:.

When a Bull Bison/ Buffalo wants to walk across the road in front of your mini, you let him!!!! :D:D

As soon as you can be bothered thinking about it for next year Rob, get us down at the top of the list for the next Safari (so Goody! (anyone?))Adventure!! :cool::cool::cool:


Even more weird, I get into work this morning, and my colleague Norma, who I share an office with tells me they were at the Safari Park all day too!! Except they got there about half 12...
THey never saw any Minis tho :( so we must have been on the way out.

Got a load of pics, I'll try to get them up when I get home tonight :cool:

Holy crap, lions!!:p:D

Cheers to Stone for organising this!! Sorry we had to bail early but the wee man was needing fed and Craig was getting a bit hungry too!!;):D

Good to see some old faces (and some young ones too!!), sorry we didn't get much of a chance to speak to the folk we haven't met before!:( Craig certainly enjoyed himself, especially the gift shop (spoilt little sod!) and is now sleeping cuddling his toy snake , I think the ghost of Steve Irwin is in my son!!:eek::)

We'll be up for Safari 2, you never know, I might have sold Rob's remaining kidney and bought another mini by then!!:evil:

[Burple]

As promised, some more pics from the 'Holy Crap! Lions!' tour :D:cool:

Glad the 4x4 was kinda in the way of these guys..
