Scottish Borders run/meet, SUNDAY 21ST MAY 2017

Post by AlfaScozzesi » Sat May 20, 2017 6:44 pm

So just arrived at the starting point ready for tomorrow to save an ungodly wake up time and lo and behold my hotel is directly opposite the finishing stage to a Scottish Rally event 😀

The first photo is of the services entry in defenders!! One of the organisers said they always prop up the back of the pack but are some of the most committed and are great to watch as they wrestle with the outclassed machinery.

Sorry guys was on route and these s*dding codes are back and left my phone in the house. Am sure I must be jinxed on one of your meets Craig. Back to the garage I go tomorrow. :headbang:

Just got back home, roof down all the way. Weather a bit nicer in the North East than we had round the borders.

Thanks Craig for a fantastic day out. Roads were great, pity about the two spats of rain we had.

Cheers Brian,good to see you mate,and I can't believe that it was your first Scottish meet :rofl:
Thanks for making the journey up.
Glad you had a good drive home :driving:

I got back home a 5.30,roof down after Stathaven,as it was dry and 17.5 c all the way home.
Looks like Ayrshire had it better than the borders too.
Was only 12/14c,but we got the roofs down most of the time :D


Was a great day all the same,and thanks​ to everyone who came,from all over,much appreciated :thumbsup: :driving:

Got home at 19:30. Cup of tea and feet up now though :)

Great days driving on new roads for me again. The last two meets have been great in that respect. Again thanks to Craig for putting the time in and organising. :thumbsup:

The last run to Moffat from Selkirk was the best for me but we were really lucky with almost no traffic all day. :driving:

I didn't really notice the few showers!! :D

Not got many pics but here they are.
