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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
