As we rolled towards Lanark in the convoy I was holding back the tears.

We couldnt have asked for a better day. I was very proud to be part of it and a hats off to the organisers.

This day will stay with me forever.........

Colin and Johnny tribute run

Once again we have grouped together and put on a fantastic run up on a sad and emotional journey up to Lanark

the runners from Carlisle were

Howie CS
Rob and claire CS
Lord harding and Lourdes CS
Dave and Tracey CS
Gus
Growler Grr on a Motorbike !! TTS
Mark and Ooy CS
Super Roo (Andy) CS
Kev CS
elf111 (chris and Emma) CS

Sprmatt (dumfries) CS
Dan g and Misses G TTS
Speye91 TTS
Dazh TTS
Scooby Carl TTS
Peter H and misses TTS
Lisa and Ian TTS
Mr 9 lives TTS
Mick TTS
Kev TTS

Bwe LADS
Gaz wrx LADS
Big Dave LADS
Mike LADS


As always military precision was applied and departure at 1130 from carlisle and a great run up into Scotland

After miles of trying we eventually got a 2 lane convoy of scoobys and a smooth arrival into Services at 1pm to be met with another 100 subarus was an amazing site

every colour and modle on show and everyone dressedin subaru regalia
and nice to see some of the scottish scoobies with kilts on .

( it made me think of a smaller version of the NBO and has given me another vision)

Excellent moving speech by awesomeposse (Grant ) and good planning by Imys who then sorted out 127 subarus into groups of classic,bugeyes,blobeyes and hawkeyes she then led the largest convoy that i had ever seen which seemed to stretch for miles down the valley into lanark

parking was swift then we boarded busses (and i bet half the people had never been on a bus for years)

when we got into lanark the main street was packed and large screens were set up for us all

A moving celebration of Colin and Johnnys life followed with people from all walks of life all grouped together for this sad and emotional event .

Talking to Ally (scottish SIDC organiser)the plans for a national convoy down to Prodrive with the whole subaru community is very exciting and many thousands will be raised for charity

once again a fine example of what a great community we all belong to


after the event a nice convoy down the m74 to end the day and we will all have special memories of a special (but sad) day .

Due to my Scoob being TWOC'D i was passenger with DanG.

From Start of our Convoy in Durham,over to Carlise we new this was going to be Special.

Arriving in Carlise,and listning to the Burbles of all the Scoobs coming in was amazing.

The Run up to Harpingdon was even better.

The sight of all the scoobs going through the Vally To Lanark was amazing,cars pulling over to tale pics,people in there Gardens/Laybys,and the View from the Bridge of the line of Scoobs was amazing

Was an emotional Day and Grant summed it up with his speach,at the services.

One day i will never forget,and will treasure.

Roll on Lanark to Prodrive.

Well done Everyone for attending and making the day,a day never to forget.

And not forgeting why we all done it.

Colin and Jonny,and others involved.
