Craig3.2, now that the trip is over can you let us see the route and the stops? How were the roads with regards to your timings. Did you have much time to chill and take in the sights or were you driving to meet deadlines?

Hi Folks

Arrived back safe and sound about 8pm yesterday and tried to logon but my phone was not playing ball with me so gave up.

Anyway, just a quick note to say a big thanks to Craig for arranging such a great trip, not sure how he managed but even the weather was kind to us as every time we stopped it was fine with the odd shower along the way :thumbsup:

Really enjoyed meeting everyone and spending time chatting with you all - will post some pics up as and when and once again many thanks from a none Z4 owner (did have one, well 2 previously) for the great company and weekend.

Big thanks to Craig for both the organisation of the NC500 trip itself, but also for a private tour/shortcut out of Ayr to the motorway (avoiding having to go all the way back up & around Glasgow).

Got home about an hour ago...only 1500 miles this weekend from door-to-door. But that is in addition to the 1,000 miles I did the weekend before down to Cornwall and London.

It seems my multi-hour, high-speed driving doesn't sit well with the Alfa, as I had to call in a last minute replacement...but it was almost as quick :oops: and managed 45mpg over the whole trip :thumbsup:

Only took a few pictures as I like to forget where I've been, so it's all new the next time I go :P

Looking forward to the videos. The set up you had on your coupe was really good.

Have you thought about where we can share these all with a sign in?

If others can sort it then I'll leave it to them, I have various file sharing facilities such as Dropbox etc if needed..

Glad you got back safe .. as expected the blue hearse was the fastest thing in Scotland :driving:

How much of it did you leave for the rental company?

Thanks for the great company and Euan can’t wait to see his best buddy again :thumbsup:

Just got back about an hour ago. Had a fantastic run down through the Cairngorms this morning.
Myself and Yvonne would like to say a big thanks to Craig for all his hardwork and effort into making this a fantastic weekend, and one that we will remember for a very long time.
The trip was also made by the people who were on it and it was a pleasure to meet everyone and we look forward to meeting up again at some point.
So it is with a little sadness that it's back to work tomorrow but at least I can look back on a great experience and look forward to the next one.
All the best
Tim & Yvonne :D :driving: :driving: :thumbsup:
