    Thanks so far to those who've said they can make it. I appreciate we're still a good bit away so a decision won't be made until slightly nearer the time once we know which date suits most.

    Can I also point out that as per run rules, this run will be driven in accordance with road conditions and speed limits. I remember prior to my first run I was worried it would be too fast and it was quite the opposite, a nice enjoyable pace. We're there to simply admire the Mini for what it is, enjoy some good roads, some good company and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. I toyed with the idea of calling it the South Aberdeenshire Stroll as realistically that's what it'll be

    For those of you who cannot make it, I'm really hoping we can start a bi-monthly coffee, cakes and cars in Aberdeen which would be a regular meet similar to the one held in Perth earlier in the year. Again, idea would be to meet somewhere with plenty space for a blether and a look at each others cars (modded or not!). It means once we've had our get together people can arrange an impromptu blast or simply head home again.

    Should be ok for either date Neil, but I'll need to confirm nearer the time. Great idea for a get together more regularly for the north east contingent

    Like the idea of the cars and coffee would go to that as well

    When I get a chance to sit down and look at dates I will start a new thread with a date and simply see who turns up on said date . When can then discuss taking it in turns to organise the next one etc.

    I can make August the 4th and keen for regular meets in the Aberdeen area. Just my 2 cents: A great route is South Deeside Road, Cairn O'Mount, back roads to Stonehaven via Glensaugh and Tewel, then Slug Road (or Netherley Road) back to the South Deeside and back to Aberdeen. Could stop in Banchory for ice cream, on top of Cairn O'Mount and Stonehaven for photos on the Pier as an idea. More than happy to help out with planning and prep for the run. Can we make sure we plan it on a sunny day please?
