Allan you aint going to be sleeping much this week. You have been doing a fair bit of work there and still have a bit to do.
This mounting a camera on the bumper sounds like a great idea and i can't wait to see the snaps and a mic in the engine bay is another good idea.
Look forward to the results.
We are now only a few days away
Everybody remember the cameras
yup. forward planning is wasted on me lol
the mic will be in the carpet on the bulkhead cause I canny be bothered to go through the bulkhead itself and I think the cabling is a bit short too. The camera cabling is there for the bumper mount but the mounts won't arrive in time so either bodge it onto the bumper or fit it into the cabin on existing mount.
As long as the car has oil / water and I've got some cash for petrol I'll be there.
Hi all
Just a quick update, I received a text tonight from Ali and his dad to say that they are going to join us on the Sunday at Ullapool to do the run.
Ali will be taking the yellow peril (Mk2) and his dad will be taking his red Mk2.
Anyone who is on the recent Aberdeenshire run will know these guys. They are meeting us at 8.30 in Ullapool.
That's excellent will be good to see some of the guys that turned up for the the last Aberdeenshire meet again. Looking forward to seeing the yellow one cos i want one that colour.
Hi All
I just had a phone call from John Light to say he has done his back in and at this present moment can't bend to tie his shoe laces so we may well have a space for someone.
John has a single bed and breakfast room in Ullapool and a travel lodge room in Inverness booked at present. He does hope to be able to make it but may be struggling.
If anyone is interested and wants to fill in at last minute let me know. I can confirm for sure in the next few days.
Shane
Hope John can make it he's one of our Geordie boys from Durham.
John Joanne promises you a back massage if you manage to squeeze yourself into the two!!
OoooooEeerrrrrr!!
Michael
He says if he can make it at all he will.
I did say if he can get in the car then you would fuel him at the satation
Give him a phone and see if you can get him arranged
Shane
Thats great Richard Good news re the weather. Just keep saying the prayers.
To all those that are starting the journey tomorrow to Durham take care on the roads.
Shane
What ho, peoples,
What route are you taking up to Huntly on Friday?
We're heading out from Lancashire early - wondering if it might be possible to meet en route..
Assuming car is fixed. The funny noise detected on the way back from Dorset last weekend turned out to be a collapsed wheel bearing.
Look forward to seeing you all,
Frogge & Celina
Frogge,
We are leaving Durham with the following people
