Once the preserve of lesbians and sailors, now seems you're in the minority if you haven't been 'inked'. Looking to get my 3rd one done this weekend, was just wondering if folk on here have gone under the needle???

Web Design for a small Aberdeen based IT company, working mainly on company intranets for oil companies. Document management and collaboration stuff. Keeps me busy and the petrol tank full.

ANOTHER Aberdeen member!!! Best get that meet organised, never mind the snow Stew, if I can do Glenshee twice in 3 days in the Zed, we can have a meet!! That Ellon road was a nightmare last night!

I hope for your sake its not BCM! Mine went last year and was 6 weeks off the road and just shy of 4 figures to sort completely. Fingers crossed for you!

Was back up today again, roads were much better thankfully!! But it was cold!!

Rough route, obviously Stew-able - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=aberdeen&daddr=AB35+5XU&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=12.188179,39.375&ie=UTF8&ll=57.018309,-2.753448&spn=0.350612,1.752319&t=h&z=10

Spot on, reckon we just see who's free and go with the majority, i'm free all 4, sad as it is!!!

The Military Road from the Aberdeen side was an absolute nightmare. Had an old Merc infront stop about a dozen times just spinning away going nowhere. Had a cheeky officer of the law wind his window down and tell me "Thats hardly the car for this weather!" Glenshee were deciding whether to open or not at 10am, lucky we stuck around cos it cleared up nicely. It was actually pretty busy, only 2 base levels lifts operating, no chairs cos of winds, bout 20 mins queue to get on.

Seeing as we now represent half the Z community up here (JOKING!), thought I'd start the ball rolling on an Abz meet & drive out for March then slopey shoulder the organising onto Stew! Weekends in March are - 7th/8th 14th/15th 21st/22nd 28th/29th Did a run to Glenshee today, 132 mile round trip there and back, fits the bill for a small scale meet i'd say!!

Thought i'd post a couple pics from my boarding trip today. Left Aberdeen at 7.30am in snow, hit the slopes just after 10am, 66 miles in 2 1/2 hours, roads were awful! Had a VERY scary moment in Ballater where I truly believe someone was watching over me, needed pushed 6 times on the Glenshee road and had 5 fellow boarders (note, not a skier in sight) pushing me out the car park!! Still well worth it!!! On a side note, having done that road and the Lecht run in the same week, Aberdeen - Braemar for an Aberdeen run out has my vote over the the Lecht run, despite averaging 17mph all day!!

PM'd

That iPod won't last long if he's taking it into the shower with him. Stupid and gay, quite a catch you got there Cara!

Orange Zed - R** MRL coming onto Union Street then turning off to Rose Street.

I did the Aberdeen - Lecht run last Monday to do some snowboarding and I'll be heading to Glenshee Saturday/Monday/Tuesday if anyone wants to convoy?!?!

+1 - my driving instructor told me when you get that low you get some of the nasty stuff from the bottom of the tank going through. Never really believed him but always try to stay clear of the red, wouldn't like the embarrassment of being caught short.

Costco car park, 9pm tonight, DONUTS!!

Yup, Aberdeen is a white blanket but I still saw buses on the roads and kids going to school! MAN UP LONDON!!!

Doesnt have to be for the 14th though does it? I've got tickets to see Russell Brand and a nice boutique hotel in Edinburgh for the weekend after, just going to send the missus an invite but not tell her what its for..... Cheesy!!

Still nothing in Aberdeen............

Still nothing in Aberdeen.............

Still nothing in Aberdeen!!!

Real mans car parks up this way, none of this clean white washed nonsense across the border!!

Standard Azure blue (so not Stew then), going round the shopping areas, looked clean! GM at Ferryhill Hotel at lunchtime B** VER on Union Street, think its the supercharged one according to the reg.

Nothing up in Aberdeen yet, quite surprised!

Yup i've been told I dont sound very Scottish by non-Scots, "posh almost". Must be the Westhill vibe Stew.
