What a motley looking crew
It's like Geriatric blind date

Iains off

Whilst I'm pursued by a Supercharged MX5.
Pretty impressive, it was keeping up for the most part and sounded fab

Corner!

It's a lot rounder at the front (and cleaner than Euans!)

You should have seen this guys HEAD it was HUGE unfortunatley my photography was a little off

S2ks in a row

Supercharged lowered MX5

Campsie car park (hotbed of all sorts of obscene barely legal activity) if my memory serves me correctly.

The Japanese Roadster Can Can

obscene barely legal activity

Fixer upper, ideal DIY project. plus you can watch the locals bum each other until the sun comes up.

When over confidence and lack of ability collide....


Good day out gents, must do it again sometime

Got cold feet, as did the GTVs and Boxsters - These Europeans easily put off by a bit of haar and dampish roads.....

Many thanks to all for a great day out, the blast from Fintry to Denny was nigh perfect - not a single car in front of us the whole way and very little on coming traffic...

next time I'll take you through the luuvvvv tunnel

Andy has already frequented it.....


Outstanding

Douglas, I didn't know you'd met Jim?






Great day out - nice to meet some other car owners who we have so much in common with (IT and car crashes it seems )

That Fintry to Denny section was very - fastest I've driven in what appeared to be slippery damp conditions. Bridgestones coped admirably though

Simon's supercharged MX5 was particularly impressive.

The MX5 is a superb car. Much more predictable handling than the S in the wet.
Wonder if I should get the wife another one?

Here's what we had before the S.
