TB Highland Drive

[OlberJ]

After that awesome weekend we just had i think the only way to top it is with a TB run of the same strain.

So who would be up for it? I'd not say you can't come if you don't have this or you drive that but if you come to TB then you got the spirit we're looking for so you'd be more than welcome.

As it's looking like there will be a few, if not a lot more, running conversions then we'd maybe look to the end of the summer, while it's still sunny.

Well after JAE, say mid August? 3rd weekend suit you lot?

All your input and interest please. :thumbsup:

Me and my Co-Pilot (Pure from the OC = My long lost twin and legend!) stopping for over an hour to let the group catch up.

Eh, hello??

Damn cheap student beer has fried your brain ;)

I'm in for the August one. Really wanted to go to the recent one but the 1.5 aint finished yet. A friend of mine also raves about the roads up there. He's in "S2K Jocks", a Scottish Honda S2000 club and they do 2 runs a year in the Highlands. They call it the Wooly Bollard Tour (obvious to anyone who's driven these roads.)

Even just the mk1 with 4-AGE will love it up there dude - I wasn't ever out of my comfort zone all weekend yet for some of the sections I was able to fly up behind much faster cars.

Can't praise those Goodyear Eagle F1's highly enough!

Murf - apologies...All I could remember was whoever was driving it drove like a woman :D

[Lee]

I'd be there!

Def be nice to just enjoy the weekend without the organisation :)

[welsha]

you love organising these things lee!:blabla:

I'd also like to point out the only reason millentubby had to wait an hour for the rest of us to catch was because he took the wrong road and missed out over 50 miles or glorious tarmac. But hey ho, glad you enjoyed the wait dude :hidesbehi

[millentubby]

nope dude - like I told you at Applecross, Pure and I followed the route EXACTLY!

you guys made an unscheduled stop at Eileen Donnan Castle and then Olie and a few did 70 miles extra!

[Portgordon]

I'm up for any and all runs like this, funds permitting of course. :)

[Murf]

howzat??


Brake lights on in every picture, that'll be me then :gay:

I was thinking maybe arrange it round the weather?
Plan it for a couple of weekends and then whatever shapes up to be the best on the Friday night, just go for it!
I know this wouldnt suit a lot of peoples work schedules though.

[OlberJ]

Where's the videos then sir?

[welsha]

aye millen, as ever you got up late missed the plans and then made us all wait for you when you were ahead all ready.

A good time was had by all, thats what matters not the speed travelled.

[Murf]

Part one of about 8, listen to the phantom giggler in the passenger seat ;)

Videos dont do it justice, you get no impression of how quick the wee thing is :)
Reckon Portgordon can vouch for than.......

Still paying for it now, absolutely shattered even now. Probably the release of all that stress that it was going to go ok.

As Murf suggested, best to earmark a few weekends and see what the weather is like and go from there. Stick the tents in the boot and you can stay virtually anywhere without having to book. As highlighted this weekend gone, the weather can play a big part in the quality of driving. :)

I'll say!

I was foot down attempting as quick an acceration as I could from a more or less standing start (mk2 n/a) with the 1.5 directly behind me. In what was literally about 2 seconds you were around and infront of me!

I was rocking back and forth in my seat trying to go faster, lol.

Some machine! :driving:

[Murf]

What gear were you in?
I was in 3rd so it took a while to build some boost, pity i didnt have my camera switched on at that point!
The vid where larry nearly embedded himself in the back of your car turned out pretty good though!

[OlberJ]

Drop me round a hi-res dvd copy at the weekend will you squire, or can i give you my portable HD and you stick a copy on there?

[Murf]

I'll give you them on your HDD, havent got as far as DVD burning yet!

[welsha]

i'll have a hi res copy too for my hdd

[Murf]

But of course :mrgreen:

[Portgordon]

you were in third? :believe:

thats just salt in the wound right there!

I was in second...
