Clio v6 Scotland run

[ColinG]

Just got home from the v6clio.net Scotland tour. What an absolute blast of a weekend. The weather was stunning and the roads were just heaven. Big thanks to Ali and Simon for sorting out the route and the stop offs along the way.

Some pics of the weekend.

Rare to see 2 mars reds together! :lolup:

The start point at Dunkeld Hilton

One of the photo stop offs.

Panoramic shot with a disappearing man in the middle lol

Cruising towards Aviemore

Still not convinced on the new plates tbh...

We had a tour of the glenfiddich distillery which was awesome!

Ali is quite the whiskey connoisseur, I think it tastes awful myself :dead:

Getting dirtier!

We stopped at a Ski slope just outside Aberdeen which was eery and deserted.

Heading home today.

what a bloody state!!

Total milage covered in a day and a half!

Mental!
You must have got some looks with that many vee's driving down the road?

Honestly you get people taking photos and smiles from everyone you go past.
Got to say if it wasn't for weekends such as this and the lake district tour I'd have sold up ages ago. It just makes it all worthwhile.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Bet you all had a great weekend! Some great shots

That must have been some sight! Would love a v6 myself

 

[DaveDreads]

I remember when Clarkson reviewed one,
he said he was in Monaco with one and people were stopping in their Lambo's and Ferrari's
to get out and have a look at it, they do have some presence.

 

[Gally]

Awesome! How far back was Ali with his newly painted front end?

Honestly if you can afford it, I'd say just do it! They are actually appreciating nicely these days too so they are only going to get dearer to buy. You'll love it matey

Ha, Ali lead the pack all day! Only got us lost once too

 

[Gally]

Ah he lead! Makes sense!

 

[Ali]

Ahem...I didn't get us lost once sonny! - The wife did!

Great run, great bunch! Will get my pics up tonight or tomorrow!

Sign me up!! My front end is majorly littered with stone chips etc, some more won't hurt!

Nice pics, did you remember how to fill it up?!

 

[ColinG]

Nice pics, did you remember how to fill it up?!

I nearly bloody ran out of fuel on Sunday up there, the gauge was below the red mark, fuel light was on, and the trip had gone to 4 dashes on the range!! It seems all the local services shut up shop on Sunday.

Must have been low as it took £77 to fill!

By strange looking do you mean the Ph1 Vee?

 

[scotty10]

Both, I can't put my finger on it. They're some cars all the same !

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Nice collection there.

Good to see them getting used :approve:

Pmsl, cuts deep!! and it's not even mine.

 

[BREMBO]

Depends which one, then I may cry inside a little.

I was proud of the little number of Ph1's present!
