Could anyone sleep last night???????????
I was too excited...
Let's get our driving gloves on (if your into that type of thing) and get rolling.
:D:D:cool:
We're just home. Been really regreting those few whiskies I had last night! Great weekend! (despite the unfortunate incedent). Big thanks to John, Brian & Zippy for coming up with such a great route. Roll on next year!
Full report and piccys later in the week. Would be most grateful if anyone could send me some pics as was concentrating on video yesterday.

As said on MINI2, great weekend with fantastic MINI driving :D Willie, Daisy and I had a blast !! Thank's again to organisers :)
Just wanna say thanks to everyone for what they did for me and my brother, and going out of their way to make sure things were ok. Also to Phil for taking this so well, i really do appreciate it and will do watever i can to make sure ur car is as it was ... so sorry again, cant say it enough, and hopefully i've not put u off from going on more great mini adventures as they are awesome as you well know. Myself im not too sure, ill need time to settle down a bit again and think over whats happened.
Parents took it really well, keep telling me it only a car and etc etc etc, but i've been on such a downer since i got home after parents were just making sure that everything was ok and so on, but it has hit home what exactly has happened, and the fact it could have been so much worse with my brother with me ... the "what if's" are going round and round at the moment.
They roads were spectacluar tho, and excellent job john, brian and zippy for the awesome run, up until what happened i was loving it so much, and "hopefully" will be back next year .... if you lot let me that is...
Again sorry for putting a downer on the whole event, esp to the organisers, and to phil for being so understanding about everything thats happened (also john and martin whose bumpers are slightly damaged but ill get details out to u guys so you can get it sorted)
Regards
shaz
I've written something on the MINI2 thread. Forgot to mention about Zoooooom and Martin getting in touch about detail. Get in touch !
Better get some sleep - I'll be at work in 7 hrs in the Corsa......
Don't be put off coming on the next run Sh@z. I can imagine how you feel and understand that the next day it is easier to appreciate what could have happened. Just be relieved that it's only bent metal and that no one was hurt. I have no doubt that if you come along on the next run you will be extra careful!Quote:

I hope that you and your brother have recovered from being squished behind Cheryl and I on the run back to Edinburgh!:D
Keep us informed on how the repairs progress!
Once again I'd like to echo all the thanks to Zoooooom, Brian, Zippy, Calum and anyone elso who helped put on the grand Cullen Run :cool: Linda and I had a great weekend. Great roads, great scenery, great friendship and loads of lovely MINI's :D
Don't spend time thinking about the 'what ifs' Sh@z. Thankfully everyone's okay and ultimately that's the main thing. Understandably you'll be feeling pretty low just now but things will improve. Keep your chin up mate :) You know full well you'd be made feel more than welcome at any future NMS meets or events :approve: Remember, GAJ knows where you live now so don't try and hide, we'll come looking for you ;):D
Sorry to hear you've been temporarily relegated to a Corsa Phil :eek: Hope you're all fixed up soon and I look forward to seeing you again in the not too distant future :cool:
Hello to all our MINI friends. Thanks for the great photos and the reports of the evening that we missed.
DK thanks for the wee Apple gonk.
We really enjoyed the run especially the atmosphere and reception everywhere we went. The Garage owner at Aberlour seemed delighted to have all those MINIs in his forecourt , especially the Works S.:p
The Hilton Hotel staff quizzed me for 10 minutes about the MINIs before we could get away to our hideaway in the country.
We got back yesterday afternoon after a very pleasant stay at the Corrour House Hotel near Aviemore. What a superb place - so quiet you could hear the wings of the swallows as they flew over the garden.
We took a trip up Cairngorm after a full Scottish breakfast (including Porridge with honey and whisky) and then headed back down the A9, taking detours onto as many bits of the old road as we could.
Did not see one other MINI on the whole journey.
One bizarre sighting - a bloke on the A9 in the middle of nowhere - carrying a large wooden door on his head - no sign of his car or any houses that he could have come from...
