Would have been quicker, but I decide to drive home slowly
If there is any photo's/video of my car off the road, please could you contact me.
The only damage seem to be a few scratches under the floor and a slightly flat middle section to my exhaust.

John,
no damage done to ken's car apart from what was listed. There was a stretch of road that was particularly slippery due to mud/ice, and Ken was a bit enthusiastic with his use of the throttle
A low speed (10mph) 90 degree spin onto some frozen mud at the side of the road was all that happened, but something knocked the tyre off the rim. With the ground being semi-frozen, it took about 10 minutes to swap onto the spare. Wheels Around (great prices for tyres and wheels!) in Auchterarder checked the tyre and rim for any damage, and when none was found, put them back on the car again

Hi guys
Glad to hear all was ok.....which part of the journey did it happen?
Im surprised we didnt come across you putting the wheel back on. Although if it was after the turnoff to Knockhill then i wouldnt have driven that bit of road.
Anyway it was a great day out...thx John for organising it.
Ian
PS. I remember you telling me and some others that we should leave in groups of 4 or 5. Well we ended up in a group of about 12
Shoulda seen peoples faces when not 1 but 2 then 3 then............12 went past

Dear John
Just to sa thanks for a great day out in the country.
As ian(Maxi) said it was ghood fun ,Diana ended up the navigator for the day as no-one else fancied doing it,it's the first time we have been to a meet and we ended up lead car for the day.
There were a couple of cars who wanted to go hell for leather but we wernt going to be crazy in those conditions.
It was good to see 12 cars darting along the back roads and country side but even better wqhen going through the small towns and villages with people starring in astonishment.
As we said thanks for a great day out and look forward too the next one.
Hope ian's car is alright

Had an good time on Sunday, driving through Crieff in a big convoy and looking at the expressions on peoples faces was priceless!
The drive after that was a bit too relaxed for my driving style, but it was probably just aswell with the conditions.
See you next time.
