Weekend Maneuvers

Well, Dave, Stephen and I were hanging off of one of these:

Cheers to Stephen for the expert guidance in paragliding! Totally random lunch conversation turns into an afternoon doing summit like that - that's why I love Scottish Elises!!!

Yup..... a truly outstanding weekend.....

Saturday involved watching Stephen and Shug doing a bit of mechanicy stuff followed by a very tasty lunch courtesy of the lovely Mrs Curle..... then out for the afternoon Paragliding.... all topped off with a few shandies in town .... very nice....

Sunday completed the weekend nicely with the Gallop in Galloway... thanks again Shug... great greasy roads and bright blue skies all day.... looks like the only time I'll be getting rid of the Elise now is when they rip the keys out of my cold dead hands!!!

Weekends like that are what it's all about.......

Anyway... more photies from the paragliding here.... Paragliding Photies

and one for the next caption competition perhaps.... hehehehe.....

Cheers!

Dave.

Oh aye, roof comes off but then when it goes back on...squeeks and rattles and pishes in rain......

TRS???

What other cars were there? Were you boys up at the front??

Type R Scotland.
There were four groups of cars. I led group 3 and kenwood was rear guard. Some nice motors. Most of them were type rs. There was a Skyline pushing 400bhp, was mental!

There was a few others like a scooby and an FTO.

I havent really decided if i will take the roof of but i dont think i will.
It doesnt really get hot enough!

No aircon for me, I'll just have to suffer the Scottish summer (heater at full blast then) Think the previous owner has had the roof off by the looks of things although I'll be keeping it on.

We dont normally post invites to our runs around other forums but there is nothing to stop anyone just inviting themselves along to the next one.
