Thanks Malc, that looks much crisper. Probably one of the nicest pics I've ever taken of my car, if only it was with something other than a phone!

As for your photos, you would be quicker to drive over here and upload them :rofl: :rofl:
:rofl: although sadly I think that'd probably be true...

After hearing Andy's cloning story then I'm still keen on obscuring on an open forum
No probs, I'll obscure other folk's plates before uploading. My view is that it could just as easily happen by someone seeing your car out on the road so I've never bothered, but I know having them online can make it easier for cloners to find a car...


This could be contraversial: I've got an idea for a meet around this time next year, but it might not involve Skye :o
 
- meant to say I'm failry ambivolent about obscuring no plates but happy to comply with members requests not to.

A11y you know we all love a bit of controversy !
 
This is just along the road from my house.
But it was on the way home from the Isle of Skye run. :driving:

Lots more photos here -Click here.
 
Some really great pics again this year (with the exception of the one malc took of me in the shop, God thats awful)
Just an Idea but how about a little photo comp, after everyone has posted their pics (ally :poke: ) we all vote for our favourite pic, doesn't have to be of a zed, just any pic but your not allowed to vote for your own,,, Thoughts????

Good things come to those who wait.... here's the first batch from my camera.

Repeating myself again, but had a great time, and look forward to the next one (60% and rising chance of me going to Islay!) Tony & Ruth.

Admiring glances caught on camera!

Yeah but you caught nothing but a dismissive look of disgust from me. :P
 
Yes well done Richard it was indeed a11y - but what about the other two (Clue they aren't Z4s)
Bradders - we're beginning to learn that food is very high on your priorities, so it's obvious that your admiring glances were for your breakfast.

Next batch... lot's more of A11y i'm afraid - must stop following him!

Parked up - eye protection recommended close to those OEM aerials!

More on my iphone and videos too - but that's enough for tonight I think. PM if you fancy any of the originals :)
 
Sorry guys, been out mtbing (again) tonight so photos won't be edited til tomorrow night at earliest! Hardly worth waiting for as they'll be pish...
 
One of the oldies at the ferry was a very rare MG RV8. 3950cc.

Something like this.

What is this man doing?
Answers on a postcard please!
_DSC0081.jpg

Isn't it obvious ? - he was lying on the ground for yet another perspective of some shiny zed wheels whilst a friendly group of bedouin were erecting their extended family home. Meanwhile the Sligachan Games were in full flow, with the start of the "narrow yellow javelin throwing" contest when a stray yellow javelin appears to have pierced his right ankle along with said bedouin tent, pinning him to the ground.

Despite being clearly in some pain given the knarly expression on his face, he makes only a token attempt at movement as he's sure he's spotted something beer themed and glass like in said shiny zed wheels and decides to stay there for a closer look . . . .

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: excellent!

Just back from a curry and some beers with work folk and caught the rest of the photos. Some absolute crackers here!

A11y, where are you thinking for next year? Further north?

Depends how folk feel about things, but might be an option for different routes to avoid staleness. Thinking along the lines of possibly Applecross taking in the Belach Na Ba (approx 50miles further round trip than Skye) or perhaps something Perthshire and north, e.g. north from Blairgowrie through the Cairngorms to Inverness area. As great as the route/roads to Skye are, Scotland has loads to offer and I'm keen to mix it up. I've got a few ideas :)
