Three cars, six members and one cat having a great day. Looking forward to seeing a few more as we head north.

Re: Scotland Mobile Mini Meet August 17TH 2019
and here are some dashcam shots of this exiting 2 lap race............
waiting in the pitlane, engines revving ready for the rolling start -
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/01.jpg)
and they're off into the first corner
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/02.jpg)
we'll skip the rest of lap 1 cos it was boring, here we are at the end
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/03.jpg)
lots of excited photographers took advantage of a pause at the start/finish line
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/04.jpg)
this is what happens whem you stand in front of the dashcam
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/05.jpg)
and they're off on lap 2
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/06.jpg)
can dc catch jc up the hill ?
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/07.jpg)
yes, he's going through on the outside !! (we'll ignore the fact that jc's wondering where to park for photos)
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/08.jpg)
coming into the final bend
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/09.jpg)
back in the pits, having missed the finish line
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/10.jpg)
thankfully didnt need the breakdown truck to bring any mangled wrecks back
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/11.jpg)
and safely back in the carpark, hearts hammering with sheer exhilaration
![Image](https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/sylvia/knockhill19/12.jpg)
After that bit of nonsense, thanks are owed to jifflemon for loaning James a spare 480 as his is temporarily off the road, so once again we had 3 cars at Knockhill, and this year only 1 was ours ! I shall be sending a huge thank you to the circuit for allowing us to drive it in between their trackday sessions, such a nice bunch of people there.
We met up with alan480 and cranna21 at Cove Bay again, and I came home with a foot rest and a new higher armrest, both provided by the curly bits on a stainless exhaust purchased from Fraser's break which is destined for Snazzy. Fitting it in Sven with all her ladyship's luggage was a bit of a challenge, but we got there. Amazing just how much stuff a cat needs. I was very happy that the exhaust was spotlessly clean, great job, thank you Fraser.
Really good to meet up with 480 friends again, now I really must get cracking on the October meet.

Re: Scotland Mobile Mini Meet August 17TH 2019
Presumably that was James, but I don't look like mine either. Al and I went on a scientific expedition to Brazil to look for big cats, and my avatar is an ocelot caught on one of our camera traps. Brilliant holiday !it's always good to put a face to a nameeven if they look nothing like their avatar
