Been away for a few days and made this post when i returned:
https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=136923

And its got a few of us to thinking we could organise something along the same lines... Anyone fancy it?

I propose Scotland for a few reasons:
1) The scenery is second to none..
2) Due to above.. you can do 5hours at a time EASILY. Trust me
3) Roads are quiet. Once in Central Scotland we had ZERO traffic jams.
4) Most events in UK are down south... lets do north for once.
5) Hundreds and hundreds of miles of......












Lets discuss please..........

yeah ill be up for that, could also take my little girl to this too as its not a show, just traveling and its nice family break supose

PS> dont do it till the cars back on the road, not gonna be the same in a small cramped cabrio with no radio

deffo be up for it though

 

I would like to add at this point it will not be a RACE in any way shape or Form... its a roadtrip to take in some real roads, real scenery and meet some more real people

Horsepower will NOT be relevant, but fuel economy may well be, so bear it in mind

 

but can they endorse ya licence the same, if not then ill be leaving he baby at home

another good reason for it is in all them piccys theres not 1 scot in site, so will be different from london

 

sut thats why i saiod bring the baby

besides even when i drive fast im still slower than you

 

ill defo be up for this a good way of meeting new faces

 

yeah would be a class way to meet new people as at a show we all seem to dissapear, this way we all have a laugh

someone get ima to go, i wanna actually meet this illusive man

 

Not for me - too far away, but have a cracking time if you go.........

 

thats a good reply there pon

but atleast its honest

 

i would be tempted as it would be a nice time o catch up with everyone, but sadly its 2 days extra for me (getting up there and back) so i think i would have to miss it

 

i`m well tempted i could meet ya at Carlisle

 

Stu - some of the guys over on Interford.co.uk have been doing this for the past couple of years. A bunch of em trek up to Scotland to meet up with the some of the scottish members, then take a 5+day drive around Scotland, and camp every night. Something I have wanted to do for a while, but not had the car to do it with... (or the time/money )

 

ya do know that ya dont have to drive round the coast line to get there dont ya

or are ya a slower driver than me

takes me 2 hours to get out of london

 

Would like that but tooooooo far to go, and haven't got a car to 'really' enjoy driving at the mo!

 

also helps that my cossie has satnav and a tv in it now


JUST NO FOOKING ENGINE

 

Sounds like fun!

A year or so back a few of us looked at hireing this Lighthouse out, getting there alone would make an awsome road trip. Plenty room for lots of people to stay.

andy thats a class idea there

 

i'll be up for some time away from the south. Havent had a break yet really this year

 

ooooh sounds and looks lovely. We could find some lovely little pubs and stuff to stay in as well and get twated every night. Like it

When you going? wanna make sure its nice and get the wind in my hair

 

might aswell make the most of it,, as you aint getting any younger and your hair might not be there forever

 

Does life get any better Porkster?

I will edit the first post with "Possibly interested" names

 

great idea , would be up for that

 

Ill definately be up for it!

Ill meet you lot when you get here

But aye, should be sweet, sure alot of the scottish lot will be up for meeting up and doing a tour of the north with you all

 

Edited to add my name to the list - anything in Scotland and i'm up for it

 

Yep

Not enough petrol stations enroute to take the rally Escort out though, so would have to dig out the S1 me thinks.

Top idea

 

Sounds a good idea Stu. Would be up for it. The missus would probab;y be up for going as she's Scottish which would be a change where travelling very far in the cossie is concerned Went to Ireland in the old girl last year and she did nowt but complain

 

Would love to do that stu, might have to fly up to somewhere ooop north and rent some wheels though, not sure I fancy driving all the way to scotland and back in the cossie from down sarf... Well I do, but it's a lot of miles

 

I still need to see this S1 boyo

 

Me too

 

I could possibly be up for this, yes its fooking miles away, but fuck it

Just depends on when your planning on doing it really.

 

I would deffo love to do it, but not sure I could afford the fuel costs! When are you thinking of doing it Stu? (Sorry if that's mentioned above somewhere, I'm at work and often have to skim stuff quick! )

 

Count me in!

 

Sounds great, but probably not practical for me for a while, so would depend on when it was.

The scenery looks great, thats one of the things i enjoy about the nurburgring too, the lovely drives around near by.

 

Id be up for it

 

Sounds like something different, could well be interested depending on when it is.

Next year once the weather has warmed up a bit is good for me?!

 

I'd love to do that. Did something similar a few years ago with the scoobynet lot we went to the lakes and camped there for a few days stoped in blackpool on the way up

 

nice idea stu we have dun this for the last 3 years it started with the XROC the interford took over

its a fun weekend away

 

Was only suggesting something like this to DaveyBoy the other day. If he's in, so am I
