Re: 2018 chat thread
Thanks to Ann, Bob, and Peter for hosting yet another great event.
The Grampian Transport Musuem was excellent and I could happily have spent more time there.
I think the 'do-your-own-thing' day is a great idea as well.
Being pursued by a couple of demented Irishmen around the Scotsburging on the final day was good craic.
My figures: 2266 miles/315litres = 32.70mpg.
Now I just have to sort out which pics are suitable for publication...

Re: 2018 chat thread
Hi Tony, thanks for the positive feedback. It gets harder each year to come up with something new or different. I think the day to do your own thing went down well and gave folks the chance to have a more leisurely day.
Not sure what plans we have for the next one but will catch up with Peter soon to discuss.
Look forward to seeing your photos........well some of them!!

Ann, wasn't sure about the Saturday before, but really worked well with people doing what they wanted. Dunrobin Castle was great after good drive (well passenger in my case).
Museum was excellent as well.

Re: 2018 chat thread
Hey all, great to meet with new and old. I had a blast with Ricky in his car, not sure if the turbo thing will stick with me as yet, I still enjoy wringing the neck out of engines to much.
Scotsbergring was fun as always Tony.
Anyway appreciate all the time and energy that goes into organising these events and many thanks for that guys, much appreciated.
See you all down the road, and keep safe.

Re: 2018 chat thread
After 6 months post big time HG fail.
she it back home. Now I remember why I love the little B. All 6 cylinders on the HG were showing issues. Nath reckons it's been waiting to go for couple of years. All good now. Big thanks to Vinny and Wedge for picking it up.
Big thanks to Nathan Mrtwos Lawley for the work to get it back running.
