as Kev_Turbo says I would not mind doing it on both dates also

 

lordy..

8th December best for us but could do 24th at a pinch (day after somebody's wedding)

looking forward to it now I have my new plates with the (sad but true) scooby-doo logo courtesy GT grafix.

Midlife..(and family)

 

Make it the 23rd Novermber, and you could take part in the karting on the Saturday afternoon (south of Edinburgh, twin engined karts, 930m outdoor track). Stop overnight for beers and a curry (or whatever), do the drive the next day (meeting up with those who can't make it up on the Saturday), and then a leisurely drive home again

 

JohnS - that sounds like a top idea Can you post up more details or drop me an email to rusty@xr4i.co.uk

Cheers, Jon

 

well it looks like we will run it both days unless we get some serious voting!!!!!

Roadtested keilder today 70 miles with only 2 cars in aprox 28 miles!!! the final stage will be done next week but it should be aprox 190 miles
Rusty i still cant find any TUNNELS ! but a lot of twistys and scared sheep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

24th November is the only day I can do. The diary is getting full coming up to Xmas.

Steve

 

190 miles

Hi john, I've been keeping an eye on your little trip North, but thought you had 1st Dec in mind , which was definately no good.
But if you make it 24th Nov then i'll tag along, and promise
to drive CAREFULLY

The B7009 is a good road into Scotland , but i'd prefer not to go there as it wasn't very welcoming last time

Dec 8th might be possible also, but it's Xmas party time that weekend

Finally got my new brakes too , so they need a good test

I actually went on the first North West meets Scotland trip in August 99 in my WRX and the RB5 i have now also went with it's previous owner, ahhhh coincidence or what?
I'm not sure if it was because that was my first meet, but it was a fantastic day with some superb roads.

BRING IT ON..........

Back to the beginning..190 miles.. I think i speak for everyone in saying i hope you've found some Optimax/S.Unleaded up there coz we'll need it.

from WRX to RB5 thanks to Scottish roads

 

Rusty - YHM about the karting

Quick summary for everyone else.

Team Endurance Karting at www.raceland.co.uk, on the 930m outdoor track, using the twin engined pro-karts capable of nearly 70mph down the main straight! It's a two hour race in team of 4 drivers (you can either enter a team or as an individual - we'll make up teams as well). There is also 30 minutes practice session as well.

Team tactics as well as speed are important, with drivers changes, fuel stops and strategy all playing a big part.

We also have a unique handicap system based on average team weight and driver experience, to help even things out, and keep the racing close towards the end

John

 

Can no longer do the 8/12, can we say 24/11? If so only 3 1/2 weeks to go!!! Any ideas on a meeting time, regardless of which day it ends up on.

Kev

 

That is how may I will have to do just to get to Carlisle!

What else do you have a Scooby for if you don't wanna drive it?

The Tour d'Ecosse last weekend was a 1300 mile four day trip for me

I can make 24th or 1st but not 8th(Day after the Broad Street bash in Brum so will be too pished to drive anywhere!)

Rusty/JohnS - Could one of you e-mail me details of the go-karting session. If it's where I think it is, I've actually been there and done it before (long story!). Trust me, you won't want to be doing much driving afterwards !

Finances allowing, I might be able to come along on this. Put me down as a MAYBE

 

MAYBE = SCOOBY OWNER = YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!!

the beat of hundreds of flat 4s together you just cant resist it!
