thanks Gary, yeah it really is addictive between that and the "free flowing" ahem, exhaust it certainly puts smiles on your face.... lol
we all have moments when family and work have to take priority but with some juggling I'm sure it wont be long till your back at it, all refreshed and raring to go

Today started with a bit of mist in the air but I had arranged to meet David at the lecht, so got there and took some photos and a few videos..... but the best bit over the brig o broon I messed up the camera, we then took the back roads and went up cairngorm.... again took pics aswell and it was only when I got home to find I had messed up the videos ... gutted because the roads were awesome. Coming off the top of the lecht ski center it felt like you were dropping of the edge of the world .. lol
Strange thing though at Cairngorm David said that the supercharger sounded great, I was behind him and he could hear it roaring and whining away as I hit the climbs hard
Anyway a brilliant day out

Looks like you two had a great time, and some brilliant roads by the looks of things.
Keep enjoying the roads whilst the weather allows I'm really jealous

cheers, this sunday we are meeting up with the Scottish westies at Glenshee so hoping to get the other side of the lecht and the brig o broon, I think there are about 10 or 12 at present should be a good run out
Its lovely here so taking her back to work this afternoon .... lol I know the feeling of waiting and weather watching, frustrating at times but it will soon be here.

just in from a great run out; 24 cars, 20 x 7's and a mix of westies, Haynes, zero, fury, locost and caterhams. Lotus elise, lotus exige , porshe boxter and a noble.
Left at 10 this morning and met up with some guys on route down to Glenshee where we all met up had lunch and then an enthusiastic drive through Glenshee, Braemar, Lecht, Tomintoul where some of us stopped for a cuppa the southern guys heading for Aviemore and a drag home.
Met some great folk with some lovely cars and all a common interest ages from mid 20's to 60+, We had some rain coming over the lecht but in all the weather was kind, hopefully got some good video (will check later) but here are a couple of pics
