How long would it take to drive from Edinburgh to Inverness assuming that you have roads, electricity, water etc etc ?

LOL - I can do it in about 3 hours, as long as traffic isn't too slow, my company car fairly gets hammered on the A9 - still not been stopped for speeding!

I used to live in Edinburgh and got some buddies there but it's more like a twice a year trip now, I was lucky enough to fly from Inv to Edi once - but the plane seemed to have been built by a 3 year old so "on the road again" every time now for me!

Funny, I just had a long conversation with my wife today about if and when there's a bash next year....we're both in!
Again, BP....what an amazing company. I've already designated myself the EBMM spokesman for Charleston, SC and I guarantee you will see an increase in sales in this region this year. Between, my friends, students, and church members, the buzz has already started.

just save me some of those homemade potato chips topped with the blue cheese at magnolia

**Butch Snyder** · 10-07-2007, 06:55 PM

My wife and I are soooo at the next event; if at all possible. Maybe by that time, I will have bonded with my Y2D; but that's another thread....

I'm in (times 2)...I'm still thinking we should all chip in and get BP a '67 Chevelle SS without a leaking fuel system! Probably could get one for a little less than he spent on us! Capt. Don

BP...did you hear what happened to the owner (Tom Parcel) of Magnolia?
He died in a really bad accident right down the street from my house about a week ago....very sad. He used to own a Chevrolet Dealership here years ago, and has owned several great restaurants for many years here...Blossom and Magnolia to name a few....
just FYI,

I didnt hear but I loved both of those restaurants

That being said...THese things are reallty a TON of work and a lot of money. My budget was $80,000.00 and we blew past $90,000.00. KEep in mind that time usally is spent designing and making andpromoting products and the money can be used to fund R &D.

I cannot guarantee that we will have a bash on the scale of this last one each and every year. Two years ago we had a pretty big one in SLO and last year there was one in Dallas at a hotel. THat one was about $55,000.00. IF you figure that Forumites account for about 300-400 units sold directly the math doesnt work too good.

THese parties must be very similar to what women feel right after child birth...."that's it.....Honey go get the vasectomey...I'm not going through that again" Six months later they are staring at babie in restaurants dreamin of the next one.....

Moral to the story give me 6 months. Ill have a pretty good ideal then if and when

OK So I'm digging this one up for Poppa,

Whilst Beth Daveb & Bind Lemon made Saturday a sensational night, along time ago I asked Poppa for the above and the man made it happen,

So I'm posting this for all the non believers out there, the ones who don't know that Poppa is good to the poeple here.

In days gone by I gues I would have said thanks big fella, but due to sirs new buff state....

Thank you Sterling, I really appreciate a UK party, I doubt I'll ever make it to the US, this kinda got the US to me, I really appreciate it.
Ball forever.

Mike

Never say never, Mike.

Our money's cheaper than my ex-wife right now.

Smelly your coming with me!

**Smellybum** · 06-19-2008, 12:12 PM

cooL!

I don't think I posted properly the other day what I meant to say was thank you poppa for providing a UK bash as I thought I'd never make it to a US one -

The UK one was fantastic! - I wasn't complaining!!!
