Some possible suggestions for driving routes. We've previously headed inland, out along the A85 and ended up at Loch Earn which was very nice and I'm happy to do that again if there's interest.

Another option is to head down the coast to St Andrews and get some pictures there. Maybe hit Craigtoun Park for old times sakes?

All suggestions welcome and we'll go where the majority wish to go

Loch earn is not far from where I stay lol so would prefer to go somewhere else

 

[Mr Pandy3]

Multi choice weekend could be anywhere :conf: like the new layout btw

As you're almost local got any suggestions? We've headed north in the past from Dundee but that ended up in Pleasureland in Arbroath so perhaps not. I've never seen a more misnamed place in my life :laugh:


I'll see if I can find the photo of it later

[lowered punto]

Hahahah what a load of **** hahaha just get me a match I might make the place more pleasurable lol anyway if you wanna drive there are plenty of nice roads near me if you wanna do something then their isn't much really

 

[Stuart]

Well if yous are looking for a drive, theres a mountain bike challenge on in some of the forests around Dufftown, I dare say spectator areas will be there. just an option...

Some option at nearly 100 miles :lol: Are you worried you'll have no one to talk to on the day

 

[Stuart]

Tbh, i would rather i had nobody to talk to.... i dont like people.....

 

[lowered punto]

[lkc]

I think Glencoe's a wee bit too far for the Dundee meet :lol:

How far is that route?

 

[lowered punto]

its 113.6 miles which works out at 3 hours worth of driving but its well worth it lol

 

[lkc]

I'd be happy with it but we do have some older cars joining us and they may not like it so much. Although it is handy for those coming from Glasgow...

Let's see what everyone else thinks

 

[lowered punto]

How would everyone feel with me bringing the drone out and getting some nice footage from above? And anyone with a spare gopro would be much appreciated as need another sd card

 

[lowered punto]

Mikey now not coming so I have removed

 

[simon_16vpunto1]

As mentioned before, Susan has her surprise baby shower at lunchtime so I'll only make it for a short while before I drop her off there. Plus my ancient punto probably wouldn't make it out of Dundee lol

 

[Brian16121990]

Just a suggestion but could head to Knockhill, big racing event one there and one of the guys we know Marten, with the race spec Abarth will be competing.

I doubt anyone would be bothered and probably more than happy to get footage of their motors

I thought that was just a Paul Walker tribute thing but just looked and it's the Super Lap finale too. i have no problem in attending that if everyone else wants to go.

Btw, if your new Abarth has arrived we have a shiny new Abarth forum ready for pictures of it

Oh, and Stuart wants to do a track day too if you're interested thread here
