The reporter is on his own and would like to take photo's en-route and is looking for a passenger ride with a single driver.
Ideally the MINI he's in should have a sun roof so he can stick his head out and take photo's, but I wouldn't think this is essential.
Ideally he'd like to meet at Hermiston Gate (no doubt Craig will be organising a Hermi Gate rendezvous there soon) and join you in your MINI at that point. He would leave his car at Hermi gate and come down with you, and then go back up with you to Hermi gate for him to pick up his car again.
Any volunteers?

Ay oop.. I need to get myself on a run really soon, and feel bad that I missed the Picninc run.. can you put me down for this please?
I need to put some face to names from Northern Mini too! :rolleyes::D
..and I'm 99% sure I'll be on my own, so I volunteer my services! No sunroof, but hey.. :D
I'll be passing that way anyway, on the way down and back.
Let me know :D

If Mrs D doesn't make the run for any reason, I could help out with the MM guy. Maybe he would like to go in more than one car during the day ?
;)
Maybe. Not a bad idea.:thumbs up:Quote:

We'd need to agree some details but my only pre-conditions are that:
Both my passengers are offered lifts, 'cause they ain't walking.
The photographer takes his/her shoes off before climbing around on my Tuscan Beige leather.
He/she provides an adequate safety belt and the means of attaching him/herself if he/she wants me to drive at run speed while shooting out of the back.
But it's a D, not a GP, so I won't be offended if there's a better option.
And I won't be able to firm-up anyway until Monday.
Very sorry but we are going to need to pull out as we are away on holiday the day before :argh: hope us have a good run tho
No probs William, enjoy your holiday.:DQuote:

Not that I ever do. :eyes up:
Cheers Malcolm.:thumbs up:
I think Craig's idea of jumping from car to car is a good one. I'm pretty sure we'll get him sorted on the day.
A.:D
Fingers crossed my car will be 100% on its return, really looking forward to leading the English invasion :p
Looking forward to beating you back behind Hadrian's wall, again.:laugh:Quote:

Thought Mr and Mrs to be Corsar were going on Sunday?, cant see there names on the first page. Mr Kerrso will be my co-pilot on Sunday up front, he will be in charge of the run notes and the i-pod.:cool: Will be at the back as it will be slower for him.
OK. Confession time.:blush:
I was tidying up the names earlier as we had a few pull-outs and I appear to have deleted a couple of names of folk who are still coming.:blush: OOpps. :blush: Sorry.:blush:
If anyone notices their name has disappeared and they are still coming, please let me know.:thumbs up:
Ta.
A.:D
Andy, a few drop outs from the south as well. Alex has just come out of hospital so can't make it and Cooperaidy is brassic. Not heard from the other Andy and Laura says she'll meet up with us at Gala.
I will be there, even if its on me todd. Unless my car needs to go in again, however its had eight new valves, a Vanos control unit and a turbo wastegate so hopefully it should no be OK.
No problem Paul, many thanks for the update.Quote:

Undecided if I want to risk driving it with its dodgy power steering pump. Its a bit short notice to go hiring one from Eastern and im watching the pennies as we go away in 2 weeks and looks like I may have to shell out for a new pump.
We may have to pull out or could maybe bring the 130 and sit at the back.
Ian, fully understand.;)
You're welcome to join the run in the 130 - no problem at all - if you prefer. No point in risking getting stuck between Yarrow and Ettrickbridge valleys.:laugh:

He says its some trax day or something like that. Whatever that is.:eyes up:Quote:
