Torphichen Driving Day 2nd Sept
« on: September 03, 2012, 04:31:27 PM »
Another superb day out with plenty of mud and water. If mud on the car is directly proportional to fun hgad then this was one of the best!  Many thanks to the organisers and marshalls, although there didn't seem to be as many out as normal, shame for those that missed it.

Seconding that, I had a great time, even if I couldn't make the whole day. There were over 40 vehicles out on the hill, maybe a tad difficult to spot'em with all the lumps and bumps !

I was only there for a couple of hours in the morning and it was excellent. It was starting to get really  "interesting" when I left ;)
Big thank you to the organisors.

Yep, great day.

A lot muddier than I remember last year. Had a quick look a the Tyros as well, a couple of them looked a bit tight. Dougie up to his old tricks??lol

Yeah, great day and very well laid out course.  Thanks to all the organisers.  We were only there in the morning with the D2 but was pleased that we got everywhere without needing a tow!  Twins even seemed to enjoy in (18 month olds in the back).  Looking forward to the next one.  Alan.

All I can say is i'm sorry for everyone who missed the weekend.
We turned up saturday afternoon to watch the tyros and spent the afternoon helping setup the driving day followed by a night in the tent.
Next day was dry and broght and a good crowd soon turned up after the gates opened. It wasn't long before we were driving around the given track and playing in the tyro sections. After lunch it was obvious that everybody was getting into the swing of things or slightly carried away judging by the amount of mud on some of the cars. Playing in the muddy holes, steep drops and climbs made for an action packed day.

Many thanks to Mr Saunders for the camping - next time maybe a few more souls will brave a night under the stars.
Many thanks to the committee for arranging the venue and everybody else who helped put in time to provide us all with a great day.
Shame the only mud on the Evoque was in the drivers footwell. Never mind, road sweeper was out sunday evening clearing up behind us. :D
