Good stretch but unfortunatly tooooo close to the old bill............Carry on up through Kellas.... watch yer speeds through kellas and wellbank and depending on the time of day...
Horses on the road......about another 3-4 miles up the road you have a very nice long straight followed by a few nice tight bends.....drive home on this road nearly every night......never seen any plod on the road as yet........Also when you get off of this road...T junction head towards Forfar watch out at the bottom off the hill 2x90degree bends....nice run too.....more chance of plod on this road though..........

Need to get a Dundee meet sometime..........!!!!!

cheers

Try the back road from Muirdrum to letham/forfar. lots of dips and fast corners.
Know it well.

Cool

Hey newbies

We "Crail thrashers" have a meet every second Sunday for the run 2 Crail Other events as well, the seasons just started so joi in.
We were lookin 2 have a general meet once a month starting Jan this year but lack of interest so we didn`t pursue it. Now if there is a genuine interest I`ll get on the case again.

Lo biggerkev,

Take it you are drivin a sport also?

CHipping the car has greatly improved the acceleration of the car ....found out very shortly after getting it done that the gear chages happen ALOT quicker........Alot better pick up staying in gear as well and i must admit it does make the car feel a hell of alot more responsive............ Bit steep at just over 200 notes though .......if yo do have 200 to spend get it lowered m8 the eibach springs totally chage the ride of the car
I QUOTE "THE CAR IS LIKE A SKATEBOARD ON THE BACK ROADS - VERY LITTLE ROLL"


Hope that helps you decide m8
Keep in touch
where you aboot anyway?
cheers scoobers
