  1. Well personally I'm none the wiser but for the avoidance of any doubt this wasn't the Bon Accord Club who are based in Aberdeen. Naturally as any Scotsman knows, Aberdonians are far too mean to give away free stuff!
  2. Tell me why you can't name this club please?
  3. I would have a look for your two local clubs which are the Inverness and District MCC and here in Aberdeen the Bon Accord MCC. Join either or both and you'll soon find out where you can and can't ride and make some new friends into the bargain. BAMCC website is www.bamcc.co.uk
  4. Hi Darren, this could be your lucky weekend! Drop me an e-mail bill@bamcc.co.uk and I'll set you on the right path.
  5. Buy a full frame camera Mark. You will not regret it. Now if only I had the cash for a 5D MKiii......
  6. Hi Mark, hopefully I can answer your question with some authority as I have and use a Canon 7D for shooting trials and other bike sports. Great camera which will give great shots in just about any conditions, autofocus works well and when all else fails you can pop up the flash and annoy the riders. I would have told you to go and buy this camera but about four months ago I bought a 5D MKii which has a full frame sensor and well wow! The quality of the pictures from the 5D just blew me away, even when the light dips you can ramp up the iso to 3200 and still see no noise and although the 5D "only" has nine af points it still has more accurate focusing than the 7D. Only reason to buy the 7D would be to save abit of cash but if not buy a 6D and revel in the quality of your images. How about this for a thought, you can buy a good 5D MKii from evil bay for about a grand!
  7. For everyone who asked who asked to see the photos, here they are. Hope you all enjoyed your day out in the sun. Full album with sixty photos can be found here
  8. You weren't dreaming I saw it too. You can find it on the BBC I Player at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00sv...and_25_06_2010/ and forward it 22 minutes 35 seconds.
  9. Ask and ye shall receive. For all the peeps that asked today here are the galleries from todays trial. www.aslq88.dsl.pipex.com/lash09/ Great day out, great weather, new route system seemed good, large entry what more could you ask for. One question though, are twinshocks the new "in thing" in Scottish Trials ?
  10. Thanks for the positive replies gents. Always nice to get feeback especially positive feedback. John drop me an e-mail at bill@fintrayfineframing.com and I'll see what I can sort out for you.
  11. For anyone who is interested here are the photos from Sunday's Craiglash Trial. http://www.aslq88.dsl.pipex.com/craiglash/index.html
  12. Depends on your definition of reaonable I suppose but have a look at the range of dedicated slide/negative scanners made by Plustek. They start at around the
  13. I know Grant from my days riding trials with Bon Accord MCC. Please pass on my best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
  14. Well John you really are a fountain of knowledge . Met Mr Ickx once at Goodwood and he was a really top bloke. I stand corrected on the number of his Le Mans 24 victories. Any other famous faces ever ridden in the SSDT I wonder ?
  15. That's a lot of helpers there John. Sorry I missed it. One question though. Please tell me that the Jacky Ickx listed is not the same one who used to race F1 cars and who won the Le Mans 24 hour race on no less than five separate occasions ?
