Highland Hoon 19th April 2008

[Stang]

The date is set (19th April)
The Starting Place is Inverness. AT 10am!

I have checked with the man upstairs he was not sure what the weather would be like. So I had a word with the man below and he promises to make it hot as hell!!!

So who is coming out to play on The 2nd Highland Hoon. Last year we had great weather and great company so let's make it two in a row.

Anyone wanting to book into a bed & breakfast then here's a few. I choose the Culloden side of Inverness as it's a good bit quieter and safer for the car's than putting them in the town centre.

Campsite again on the culloden side for anyone.

[Andrew[MG]]

Great video and those roads looked

[GetCarter]

Good work.

Perhaps you'll let me know the route nearer the time and I'll hopefully hook up once again

Pics from last year for those that missed: http://www.stevecarter.com/stang/stang.htm

[john185k]

I am interested, either the 172 of Fabia VRS.

[VetteG]

Well I should be back then, but I have a couple of things planned that may interfere. Nearer the time I will know. Here's hoping!

[Semi hemi]

Definatley. I was looking at the way we went last year. It will be probably the same of maybe add a little distance on it (via Invermorrison??) and over?

Lets just hope there is no "jumper" on the bridge like last year. I don't think Inverness has seen so much serious metal going through it's streets as it did when we had to detour.

Do you still have the map from last year Steve?? If you do could you email it to me as I can't for the life of me find mine.

[ASBO]

I'll be there in something - probably the Clio at this rate

sent to Avril Service (which sounds like a garage to me )

[hemibum]

Yes, Yes. Hemi with the 840 and / or the twincam Locust.

[ViperScot]

I feel quite glad that I won't be available (same day as my next competition) as it would be too much to take if I could have gone but wasn't able to due to pranged car! The last one was probably my most memorable (positive!) motoring experience and I hope it's as good for all those that attend this year

[BckFlash]

Sound like a blast - I'll try my hardest to make it!

Flash - LCR

[Wanta996(Gotta)]

Missed the summer one but did the slighly wet Autumn one with Avril & Co. so count me in. Great day out and i would recommend it to anyone.

[GetCarter]

In case people missed it on the other thread - here's part of the Applecross climb (not the steep bit!)

Hope the rebuild's coming along o.k.

[D_T_W]

I'm sure Andrea would like to go in her '58 Vanguard!

[hemibum]

TR3 engine? Monte stylee.

[ViperScot]

You'd have to ask her but it's some machine!

[autoholic]

Sounds like fun. I'm in.
Can someone e-mail details please?
