Another great driving day, made even better with the weather. Was actually amazed to see an Audi Q7 and what must have been a Fiat pand driving round ..... oh and of course a jeep!

Tons of photos here

Fantastic weekend. Thanks to the committee for arranging the driving routes, the ensuite toilet facilities for us happy campers   ;)
And for getting the sun out.

Some photos here, although If wasn't too busy driving it was a winch pulling up a hill  ;D

Ruari,

Did you manage to get a picture of Dave's rear wheels off the ground when going down the hill?

Cheers

Stephen

The wee problem with posting video (and even still pictures) is when things go wrong: we know that the MSA watch our videos as we've had feedback from them about other events based on footage on youtube & vimeo.

I'm not suggesting that there is any form of "censorship"..... however I would caution a weather-eye is kept on things that could come back to bite us (as a club, as well as individually.)
