manta400john Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Have just been informed of a wee tour on Saturday 13TH March, assembling at Newbattle Abbey College at 9am. This is very close to where we met last time for those who don't know the area. There will be a mix of cars so I'm told including a Scimitar,VW Campers and Saab 2stroke. Meeting at unit 13A within the grounds of the College. Around 15 cars hopefully. The idea is to go a wee tour south into the Borders. Anyone fancy it then post your name up.....can meet at the layby for 8:50 and go to Newbattle from there(2 minutes drive)? Heard about this from Dave Wyatt,don't know if he's takin' the orange A or something else?! John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manta400john Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Craig took these. From Newbattle we set off south on the A7 then turned onto the road for Innerleithen,localy known as "The Grannits".This road is now known for Manta/Capri performance comparison testing......or racing for short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta400john Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 We stopped at Innerleithen to regroup then set off for Peebles via Traquair,we gained another car here in the shape of a Saab 900turbo,piloted by Colin. John's Saab in the car park in Peebles. Capri rubbing shoulders with royalty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta400john Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 A great time had by all I think. I had to leave early 'cause of work so assuming all got home in one piece and under their own steam. Thanks to John and Davie Wyatt,great idea and when can we do it again?!! Cheers, John.
