    GP BILLY

    On sunday the clan had a wee run (snowman run) we have this every year,
    the idea being a wee run to find some snow and then build a snowman or snowperson (keep th p.c f**kers happy).This year we left Stirling Services and headed for Aberfoyle and Loch Katrine for a stop and then back to Stirling (big loop 95 miles). Here a a few pics of the day, 16 classic minis and I took the only fat MINI the GP (cold weather.... I had to turn my heated seat to half-heat)
    My mate Kenny's mini is in bits, so he came over from Gala in his everyday car and then jumped in the GP with me. On the way to Stirling Kenny seen something at the side of the road, he stopped and found a baby otter near frozen to death. He put it in his posty bag and it ended up doing the snowman run in the GP, it slept most of the run and is now in a widlife centre.
    The newspapers have been out to see him and the local TV is going to his house tomorrow, they were all keen to know the story of the otter and its sunday drive looking for snow with the minis.

    Looks like a good run - was there a wee incident involving stuck/spinning Minis?

    That otter is awesome- I reckon I would have kept it for a pet!

    Stevie in the paul smith mini had tyres that would have been more at home on a race track
    couldn't get any grip. I had noooooooooo such problem as the GP has a LSD
