Ferrarichat European Rally III - Scotland 2005 - your invitation

Just a great big straight road really:

M1-M6-A74/M74-A725-A8/M8-M9-A8000-A90-A92-Letham (KY15 7RU)

Anyone who wants to meet up along the way on the morning of the 2nd, please let me know of a service station along the way which co-incides with this route, and we will maketh a plan.

 

Somewhat diminished from the original list of participants but still a great bunch of people and we will have a LOT of fun! No hard feelings to the guys who cannot make it after all - all had good and individual reasons, and I will hopefully see you next year in Spain!!!

Without further ado and in no particular order:

1 Marc Hartog Hedge 328 GTS
2 Mike Rawlings Hedge
3 Dave Silvester F308 MAN 308 GTS
4 Tom J (or Mrs S) F308 MAN
5 Dave McGuire Matkat 355 GTS
6 Mrs McGuire Matkat
7 Kevan Barr 400SPYDER 456 GT
8 Linda Johnson 400SPYDER
9 Alexandre Iseppi No_limit Testarossa
10 Fernand Iseppi No_limit
11 Andy Gibbs Gibbsa 360 CS
12 Nathalie Gibbs Gibbsa
13 Steven Fitzsy steve f 512M
14 Mrs Steve F steve f
15 Omar Tbig1 Testarossa
16 Jonathan jonathannealuk 348 GTS

So 16 peeps in 9 Ferrari's, 8 being different models, all from either Switzerland or the UK in the end.

 

Scottish f-chatters, you are most welcome to join us in the afternoon of Thursday 4th August, where we will be displaying the cars in the pedestrianised area at the lower end of Fort William high street. Also for any of the drives we have planned between the 4th and 6th August. PM me and I will give you my number & a brief itinerary.

Thanks,


Marc

 

It may be possible to book additional rooms - if anyone else is contemplating joining us, pm me.

 

It's a bit over 400 miles, so I guess it depends how fast we are going!! err, I mean how much traffic there is!

I guess 10pm would be a sensible time but if it's a bit later, not a problem. Earlier and I might even feed you!

 

Have you seen what they charge for it?..not quite within the group budget but if you want to call and see if it's free, go for it! I am intrigued to see it..looks fab.

Very excited - I just got off the phone with the Ben Nevis distillery who have agreed to open out of hours to show us around and let us taste the whiskys! The hotel is 400m away so no need to drive either, although they would like a piccie in front of the distillery so we'll oblige at some point.

The chap also mentioned an eccentric Italian millionaire who lives in Fort William where we are staying and collects Ferrari's! Hopefully he will be joining us at some point!

 

Hi Col,

We will be passing that direction next Friday, probably late morning, but not stopping. Best time to have a proper look would be Thursday afternoon (4th) when we are displaying the cars in the pedestrian parade area of Fort William high street.

Make yourself known if you come,


Marc

See you there Tuesday afternoon! Can't wait!

Nice to see you posting again!

 

Sir,

M

 

we will dude - sad you are not there but we will toast you (and would have made toast of your Porsche anyway)

 

We will..look forward to the new beast on next years rallye!!!

 

Optional golf in Fort Augustus is planned on a course at the bottom of Loch Ness which apparently it is not uncommon to see sheep on..so you can earn a sheepie for hitting one below par..

Anyhoo, the course have said they can hire clubs, so no need to take up any valuable luggage space!

As it's gone midnight, we are officially starting this thing tomorrow!

****!!!! Still quite a lot to do!! :O
