Not just for a Z4 meet, the meeting was just a pretext.
The real reason is this :
Told you he was on a Mission.
Glad to hear you eventually got home OK Shooter, hope you enjoyed Blackpool, Seriously
Say Hi to Frank, we really enjoyed having you guys along not to mention your gorgeous Z, even if the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
If we make it across to Mainland Europe next year will need to make a point of dropping by Paris.

I am planning a 1 day meet for next summer in May or June.
We shall be passing by 4 distilleries en route - The Famous Grouse, Aberfeldy, Blair Athol, and Edradour - interested?
Nice to meet you and Frank aka Pasquale.
L'anee prochain.
Well with over 300 photos to choose from and loads of similar ones already posted here's a few I hope are a bit different.
Leaving Stirling, just to porve it's not all glorious scenery and open roads
Stirling Castle
On route to the RABT
Entering Inverarary
On Islay
Nice hat Dr Park
On that road.....
At Ardbeg
The road past the Airport
The campsite BBQ
The run home
Then something to eat and drink, can't think what lured me in
Great weekend, can't wait for the next one.
We did take loads at both Cromarty and Chanonry lighthouse on the Black Isle while Dolphin spotting (none were out to play though) but for some reason none of them saved, so I guess we'll just have to go back when the weathers better.
Biggest low......probably my Z, got sick of hearing things graunching out on the Islay roads and slowed down a bit in mechanical sympathy, plus the DTC/DTS warning light, never showed itself once back on the mainland?
Just under 1000miles at 35.3mpg at a huge 38.1mph.

Some great shots - worth the wait :wink:
You managed to capture Nosa being smoked out and can just about make out a Zed in the background too.
*600+ miles with me will do that to a person.

Amazing how shiny silver looks even after 600+ miles, some of them in the rain. Seems my passenger faired less well*a11y said:

New entry on the blog went up last night, link in the quote below.
I fear I have become a Islay / Scotland bore since my return to England.

Hi Craig, You have missed some good runs and alot of good fun, was beginning to think you didn't like us :lol:
Not sure what is happening regarding the borders run, I think Richard is away again untill Xmas time possibly later, I know he wants to make it a charity run. I'm sure he will post up his intentions regarding the run.
think a11y is planning next years "overnight" meet next year but don't think we are doing any of the Islands, I think it is taking a 2 night Great roads format, I am waiting with baited breath for his thread to start, Malc is planning a Decent one day event for next year as well.
