Looks like snow or sleet around Crieff for all of Saturday, and a fair bit of Sunday too, so if stays that way then I'll be giving it a miss this year. Travelling up North in that weather will remind me of too many trips like that last winter, and that's not fun, so I'll probably wait till Spring has properly sprung.

Have fun Brian, Jim, and any others that make it, and - of course - take some piccies please

Yeah looks like its going to be a bit grim, real shame as it was a great day last year and in stark contrast the weather was stunning, in fact I think it was one of the few sunny days we had last year. Suspect I will give it a miss too, pity

Yes it was a stunning drive up and back - clear blue skies and teeshirt weather. Must be temperature difference of 20 degress between then and now.

Have a read of this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/21855216 explains the differences between March 2012 and 2013.
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.).
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
