Congratulations Ian
Cracking day out again! Top Marks to the Clan for another great Thistle Run! Great roads, great folks, great cars.. and even cracking weather - a load of cash raised or charity too! :cool::thumbs up:
Well done again Ian on winning, you Cooper looked awesome.. I need another old one to fill my garage ;)
Lots of spotless old classics, a few good New Minis too, and a good few seriously modded classics too, mostly VTec or Vauxhall twin-cam :D:D
There really are some nice Z-cars examples out there now! WANT!
Feel for the guy at Hermiston Gate roundabout tho. Brand New Z-cars conversion, engine in the back and rear-drive - sounds like he got a bit carried away on the roundabout and ended up backwards into the verge and barriers - and that was before he even got to the start of the run :sad::sad::sad:
We got the rain as well Andy, but it was on the bypass at Edinburgh, it was a proper monsoon, so bad that one lane was closed off with massive tailbacks. The closed lane was just one massive loch :eek:
We spent a load of the run with the main bunch, tootling round the countryside, but after an unscheduled 'comfort break' we had a good 10 miles of empty road while we caught up with the cars in front just outside Eyemouth.. THAT was fun! ;):cool:
Here's a couple of pics from the phone, more on the camera when I get round to uploading..

And my absolute favourite of the day - a nice wee VTech Z Cars RWD clubby. Bootiful.

I think if I had one of the z-cars I would also end up facing the wrong way at a roundabout / corner. I followed it for a while and it was both quick and a handful.Quote:

I love that sand glow orange GT cracking photos and well done to Ian !!

Great pics Ewan. :thumbs up::thumbs up:
Great photos everyone, a reminder of a cracking day out. So many great minis it's impossible to pick a favourite - I did like the v-tech one but Helen doesn't :-)
I thought we were going to be washed away coming home round Edinburgh but my wee classic did us proud, never missing a beat.
Congratulations Ian, well deserved
