It was a genuine pleasure Craig - very easy to drive off, and meant I could concentrate on enjoying it. I also loved being followed by a red M :D

I am glad you enjoyed the view, it was good being there following you two! :thumbsup:
 
Yes, Dave/xsz, nice to know you have a well desired colour of z4 m....I think it and the Interlagos blue were highest in the "favourite m colour chart thread"?? , and Bing wants an Imola red one as his next car, in case you missed that one,lol.

Yes Allan, fast and fun(but safe)...taking good speed thru most of the bends...hitting ***mph at times, and I think a few ppl got some "air" :) . just glad the rain didn't ever last too long and we had the roofs down quite a few times :D :driving:

Looks like you all had fun :thumbsup:

Good to see you all shortly at the start, I'll get my finger out and sort a meet out before the hooning season comes to an end :D

Yes, good to see you and Kirsty albeit briefly, pity you couldn't join us for at least some of the drive. Here's to future meets :driving:
 
We both had a great day and thought it was an all round good team effort, a strong turnout, with great routes from ZermattV and Paul & Steph -some excellent roads including many we had never driven e.g. around Kielder, Rothbury etc. and a good mix of lead driving (apologies for my little detour - I was kinda leading on completely new roads to me at that point so in the usual fashion will blame my navigator - NO not Mrs Jax but Mr Tom Tom)

Certainly the B road blast back from St.Abbs was sublime- even if it was a bit of a fluke as none of us had reccied this part - just sorry for those who didn't get to do this final stretch of the return leg - it was an excellent end to a fine day and glad the sun shone for late afternoon ice creams.

Here's some pics from us (well mainly Mrs Jax):


























 
Brilliant photos Mrs. Jax!

Really enjoyed looking through these - now I understand the JaxZ4 - doh!

Had a wonderful day - Steph and I will have to come up and try that last section of the route it gets so many positive reviews - seems we missed a treat.

Terrific photos that really do capture the day! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Paul and Steph :driving: :thumbsup:
 
Some fantastic shots there gents, sounds a fantastic meet & no scares. What more could anyone ask (other than learning whether I have finally landed the new job)
 
Great photos guys. Looks like you had a great day out. Hope I can make the next one. :thumbsup:
 
Hi Paul and Steph

Said to Jax that I felt guilty about saying to you both that there was probably little point doing the last bit up to Edinburgh - honestly didn't expect it to be half the route it turned out to be. Worth including in your way up to future Z4 Scotland meets :thumbsup:
 
Not to worry ZermattV

Steph and I like a 'mission' - we'll get up there to sample the route after all the comments.

It was really the time element that beat us - we hadn't arranged for our dogs to be cared for quite so late and so needed to head back to Newcastle - that was the deciding factor - unfortunately!

Thanks for the concern.

Paul :driving: :thumbsup:

:lol:

Back home, 1,280 miles later... return trip took aaaaaaages :(

Photos later or tomorrow morning, not even had a chance to look through them yet. Should be some good in-flight ones though :thumbsup:
 
Indeed, but well worth it :thumbsup:

WB took 175 pictures during the run - I've got the number down to 44 good ones plus a few of mine, so I'll put the best few on here but stick all of them on Photobucket with a link to the album. It'll be tomorrow earliest before I can do it though :(
 
Decided to pull the finger out and get this done :-D

All of these are in-motion as the static ones I have are the same as those above. All taken, as ever, by my on-board Hoon Photographer & Co-Pilot Wee Bing.

Started off a wee bit wet... Respect to ZermattV though, as I am pretty sure he only put his hood up when we parked !

















Light Speed !!!







3 ///Ms in front – aural heaven :grin:





Returning to God’s Country :





Blurred, but what a great road :



View of the Lomond hills across the Forth :

Again, a brilliant run out & huge thanks to all those who organised the route and led on the day – started at 8am to get to the meet point, home by 7.15pm 300 miles later. The Duns road = cream on an already spanking cake :thumbsup:
 
Smashing photos by WB :thumbsup:

We really did cover some ground over some varied road types -glad you guys enjoyed yourselves you'd come along way
