    Hopefully that should of uploaded the photos ok? After 550 miles to get here I thought it was due a clean before I took them.

    The event at Knockhill on the 30th of September looks pretty good depending on what your into. They are hosting BDC which I have seen at Castle Combe, Donnington and Brands Hatch and is usually pretty good to watch. Here's the link for it: http://motorsport-events.knockhill.c...mpionships.php

    Give me a shout if anyone is driving down from Aberdeen or wants to join on the way.

    Was anyone driving a GP North on the A90 yesterday that ruined a silver S?
    Was it a Girl driving if so it will have been Fay :)

    I drove up from near Southampton, took 10 and a half hours in the end. Have you always been local?

    I don't think it was a girl, or at least that's the story im going to go with considering it went passed me and I didn't catch up with it again... :)

    Is the a96 a good road? Hopefully it doesn't have as many speed cameras as the road from Dundee to Aberdeen! Are there many speed cameras up in the mountains?

    Nope, the a96 is a pain in the arse but it's a means to an end! Plenty crafty speed vans too. This lot know all the goo runs though I've not managed to get out on any yet.

    Hey Mike, welcome to NMS from another fell NMSer in Aberdeen. The A96 is quite possibly the most boring road in the country. On a 70 mile stretch of road between Aberdeen and Dundee there must be rougly 10 speed cameras...between Dundee and Edinburgh I think there is 2 lol! Never mind, get on some of the back roads and go for a blast, never fails to bring a smile to my face.

    Your thinking of the A90, the A96 goes North / North West up to Inverness

    That’s good to know; getting overtaken by a girl and not catching back up again would be hard to live down. They’re still the same power as the JCW though right?

    Looking forward to the run in a few weeks, let’s hope it’s dry because my Wanli tyres are terrible...

    N16SHP – Do you think you will do the Deeside run on the 16th of October?

    The GP has a bit more power than a JCW and are also lighter than a jcw
