I'm organising a Dundee Meet for Sunday 15th July.
Planning a route that starts & finishes in Dundee, approx 150 miles of stunning roads & Scottish scenery.( and no skiers at this time of year )

Anyone interested??

Dave

Dave was on holiday for a bit, he responded to an e-mail from me about a week and a half ago

 

Hey did not know you cared (hehehe). Yes been on holiday and been really busy at work. But back now and trying to pluck up the courage to go to a Dave Brown rally around the Dundee countryside. See you soon no doubt Dougie. John how did the import thing go?

 

Bloody typical, yet again I'm going to miss out cause I'll be offshore
Will I ever going to get to one of these run's?
Never mind, maybe next time.

ScoSaltire's suggestion of Blair up to Braemar and back over Cairn O'Mount to Fettercairn is a blinder.

Hope the day goes well.

Chris

 

do u fancy changing the start time?

British GP is on on sunday.

change it earlier to get back, or later (pref)?

 

SCO

Would be quite good to do the run in the evening, roads would be quieter too.
What time does the GP finish??

Dave

 

usually starts at 1pm.
race no longer than 2 hours.

but.... i have a niggling feeling that it may be different because its the British GP.

im trying to find out.

Agreed that the run would be good in the evening... also cooler... so denser air... more umph

folks were up north at the weekend... came back past the Lecht... said it was a great road... its the first road to close in winter... twisty and big drop down one side.

may be too far though... A939 i think.. from Balmoral.
could go up it, and back down, and continue as before.

 

Saltire

I've already posted up the meet details on my groups, so better stick to the original plan of meeting in Dundee @ 11 am.

Dont want to miss the GP so I'll be sure to set my video.

I'll try out that road you suggested... sounds like fun

The route for sundays run is now tried & tested .
If you would like to come along, then be at the UGC cinema carpark,Camperdown, just off the Kingsway in Dundee around 11am.The run will start at 12....

Hope to see you's there

Dave

 

I believe Dave is having car problems , and has cancelled the run. Hopefully Dave will confirm on here soon.

 

how far is the run? (optimum fuel load calculation )

see u there.

Phil

 

The meet is still on.

My air flow meter packed in today, but new one getting fitted tomorrow (phew).
Friday the 13th!!

Phil & anyone else
Best to arrive with a full tank, its about 150 miles but there's no SUL available on route.

Right, I'm off to bed before something else goes wrong today

Cya's on Sunday
Dave

 

Dave
Glad it wasn't anything too terminal
What filter are you running?
See you Sunday
Cheers Doug

 

Doogsy
After the last one went I've been running a standard airbox & filter.The MAF was contaminated with oil from the last engine failure, back-pressure through the breathers etc.

Dave

 

Hey peebs,

If u didn`t turn up u missed a belter of a run We had it all 2day, like almost the 4 seasons in a couple of hours.
Cheerz 2 Dave for a guid route,
Plenty O twisty stuff n that (jus wot the doctor ordered) Come 2 think of it, it was jus loadsa corners back 2 back A few momments but other than that all good clean phun, no offs, no flatbeds an no casualties
Thanx 2 all that turned up and I hope u r lookin 4ward 2 the next un as much as me

L8r peebs
Pete

 

Wot no casualties
Seem to remember some wildlife snugglin up for a wee permanent sleep in someones headlight
Fine day (not the weather that is)
Great driving roads for those that like the Twisties
Must do it again sometime !
Doug

 

Thanks to all those that turned up for the meet.Judging by the cheesy grins , I would say everyone enjoyed the route.

Was certainly an intense drive today, we managed to keep the pace up despite the weather.Although it suited my dodgy tyres better on the dry roads, had a few scary moments on the wet twisties

We are gonna do this route again soon, but in the opposite direction this time, and later in the day to avoid the traffic

Cheers
Dave

 

sorry missed the fun Grant

 

Doogsy,

Told ya m8 these r the motas 4 "pickin up
the burds" An now we got the proof
Still aven`t got it all off yet.

Pete

 

missed it was away. oh dear it sounded like it was a good one

 

Sam

Sorry you missed the run. Did you get the mail I sent you?

I'm planning to do the same run again but in the opposite direction & possibly in the evening to avoid the traffic. I'll be posting up a date soon, so keep your eye on the forums.

Dave

 

When's the next one guys?

 

Did anyone else end up with a sand blasted windscreen after Broon's Tour of the Highlands?
My screen is covered in tiny wee chips looks like frosted glass
Have to stay away from the back of those slow cars that were setting the pace

 

Doogsy

Sorry to hear about your chips, you should of got past the rest of them & followed the white one with the big mud flaps

Chris G

Drop us a mail off list & let me know when you're home so you don't miss the next one.
