Heart Of The Borders V - Sunday 30th August 2009

Thanks very much to the Pooles for a Great Run.

My apologies for rushing away at the end, but with Jude not being too great I wanted to get home to see her. And she hadn't moved all day :thumbs up: and she's doing fine. :smilewinkgrin:

No apologies required whatsoever Mark, as you say your just a bit rusty. Get out and drive it a bit more and less of the Smart Car.. :lol: Great to see you and Kim again after what feels like AAAges. :yes nod:


Great to meet some new faces Alan R and Hidden and L13 ARG :thumbs up::thumbs up: Hope you guys all enjoyed the run. :clap::clap:

See you all next time. :yes nod:

Good to see some old faces...and some new ones.

Apologies go out to Craig/Crombers/Neil and Lorna for holding you guys back...just wasn't happy with my driving/car today. I felt I was becoming a liability to the run TBH....so hence the reason for only doing half the run. Also don't drive the car all that often...so I'm out of practise me thinks:blush:

Only stuck my 18"s back on during the week...and I think I got the tyre pressures wrong AGAIN! (EVERY BLOODY TIME I PUT THEM ON!!!!:argh:) Will play about with pressures and get it right for a few runs next year.

All the best!

Mark, not a problem, I was needing a wee snooze anyway :rolleyes:

Thanks to the Pooles for a great run today :thumbs up:.Good to see old and new faces :yes nod:. Pics to follow later

Thanks to the Pooles for another great Borders run.
The pace from where I was sat was spot on.

I had a great time towards the end with Greg in front of me. He was holding back, creating a gap then we were going for it.

Nice to see some new folks coming along. 2 new folks with 2 minis previously owned by other NMS members.

sounded like a great run, sorry I couldnt make it.

Great day out and about with the Mini lot as usual and thanks to the Pooles for a well planned run:clap:. Pity the weather could not have held out for the afternoon run but still great to see around the place. A Beautiful part of the country that was new to me. Your cars as normal all looked great.

As always sorry for slowing anybody up or over braking before bends…:blush:

A few pic's, if anyone wants there plates removed give us a shout.
