Quite a good turnout despite the less than ideal weather for a blast from the central belt to Dumfries and back, taking the scenic route...
Lot's of new cars: Ali with his Vee, Alan with his R27, me with my Cupra TDI (yes Ali, a diesel!), Big Iain with his 182.
Started off from the Coatbridge meeting place, headed cross-country on A-roads to Peebles, continued on to Innerleithen, B-roads and A-roads to Moffat, then down the main road to Dumfries. Eventually everyone managed to get parked together (hello Officer, yes of course we're behaving ourselves :clown
and wandered into a pub for lunch (which shall remain nameless cos I can't remember...). S**te service, not other word for it: half of us got our food, the other half's didn't arrive so refunds were got. Nice chippy (cheers to Annie for directing us to that) and then a blast up the A74(M) back home in the pissing rain. I peeled off at J12 and headed cross-country and had a nice blast (and lost) against a Scooby STI...
All fun and games
Highlight of the day? rctempire's smokin' brakes after a bit of B-road action (unfortunately my pics of the smoke didn't work out, gutted)
The pics:
"Dad, are they boy racers?"
