It was a really good meet and a great eclectic mix of cars.
Access road was probably more suited to bikes than cars tho :)

Made it to Pistonheads

Watch on YouTube


Aye, I'll be getting asked to open Supermarkets and Scout Halls next, as opposed to getting asked to keep the bloody noise down! :blackeye

It was a good day actually. Started before 10am and finished after 5pm for a 10 min video.
I did get a free Pistonheads t-shirt tho :mrgreen:

agreed, nice watch.

I'll try to make the next Rhynd meet if I remember, looks like a nice event without the need to travel all that far!
The road in isn't such a problem with my more-worn toys :D

The road's fine Chris. The Alfa doesn't have much ground clearance but doesn't bottom out :thumbsup

Just superb Jim, congrats on that car. :)

I recognise those roads in the video from when I was a kid!

Thanks. That's exactly where we were.
You must have been fairly local to me then since that's just down the hill from where I stay. :blackeye

Jim, great taste as always. I loved the video and you came across very well. I hope to see it in the flesh at some point. I will need to make sure our next dog walk at Tentsmuir coinsides with a meeting at the Ryhnd.
