I was the grey Z that passed you all heading south on the A82, after spending 3 days touring Scotland on probably the same roads.

Glad to see you all had a great time.

That's so cool, forum ships in the night. Sort of. Did we all wave ? I'm not sure I did :oops:

The car's a clean red but I'm feeling blue :( The trip was awesome! The cars are great and the company was exceptional. Thanks to you all for welcoming me to your club :friends:

Got home at 4:30pm, total of 1605 miles with an average of 30.7mpg :)
Cindy did the unpacking, while I washed the car Image She looks red again now - anal, I know, but it had to be done.

Food first, Pictures later....
We've got to get an award sorted for longest travelled Forumites - amazing mileages clocked up by so many -

and then you washed the car as soon as you arrived home!!! :o :o

Enjoyed following your Alpina on the run Perry - adds something else and something special. :thumbsup: Never did get to see your video specs - next time!

Lovely to meet you and Cindy - glad you're home safe and hope to meet up with you at more runs in the future. :thumbsup:

Best wishes, Paul and Steph

:driving: :thumbsup:

Paul and Swiflty got closest, bracketing it exactly - £357 :o

I can't bear to do any more maths, but I reckon total cost of the trip was somewhere north of £500. And not a penny of it wasn't well spent :thumbsup:

I'll add mine up later - didn't keep the receipts but it'll all show up on the credit card over the next couple of days.... or perhaps I won'r bother adding it up, it seems trivial to try to put a price on such a fun weekend

Thanks for organising it Allan, and a big thanks to everyone else for making it an enjoyable social event as well as a great driving one :thumbsup:
