Okay guys spoken with Dan and he agrees that since there are two other events already on this weekend that we should push this event back to October. Will update the post now and PM people that have said they will attend. Who's going on the Mcrae Gathering then?

unfortunately we'll miss this as it bang in the middle of our hols which i'm totally gutted about :(
But stickers bought & donation made to support the event as its for a number of good causes. We know some of the folk organising the event if you get a chance say hello to Grant (Squiggle on sidc) one of the main folk in this event happening, you won't meet a nicer guy or a bigger subaru/Colin McRae enthusiast anywhere! Really sound bloke :D

Enjoy the event those that are taking part :D I'll be there in spirit lol :D

What an experience today was

Even though we had to come back from Charnock Services :( :(

Ride up was 8) 8) 8) and the Convoy out of Lanark to the Motorway was Amazing :omg: :thumb:

So many people watching / waving / cheering , Police blocked roads for us to have a clear run out 8) 8)

Then they put a Scamera van on the motorway :? :( :(

All the way down pretty much every bridge full of people waving etc 8) 8) :bow:

We watched the convoy leaving Charnock , it seemed to be never ending Scoob after Scoob every colour every model 8) 8)

And the noise :!: :twisted: :twisted:

What a Day out just a pity we had to leave early :( :(

Short video off STV

2nd Scoob the White Hatch is us :!: 8)

WOW, Ive just got back from a wicked day out at Prodrive Banbury and then their test track facility at Warwick. During the day I met and had a chat to Designerman in the morning and then Evo in the afternoon, both nice guys. I also saw Rosy B's beast as well. I reckon I must have counted 15-20 WR1's during the day. Its a pitty we couldnt have got together for for a photo......but I did manage to meet and got a pickie taken with Vikki Butler-Henderson :hump:

We missed the turn after this junction and ended up in our own little convoy taking in the sights of "Historic Warwick" . While we were trying to find our way back to the right road, we kept passing other Scoobs going in all different directions :lol:
