I had to go to Tesco's this AM, I am desperately short of socks that do not have holes in them and needed to get some food. The nearest big Tesco is in Maryhill, or Springburn and both of these places are desperate parts of the world, so I thought I'd go a convoluted way as I can afford the fuel to drive wherever I want to go. The joys of a diesel car.
As you fine well know, Loch Lomond is lovely and a lovely place to be, even in winter

It would seem not to take a picture of my wonderful car. I really love the car, its superb.

From here, you could go straight to Glasgow, but thats really boring.
So at the round about at Balloch, you follow the road to Stirling, and that takes you along the south banks of Loch Lomond and over to Drymen. Its a joy to drive my C class here. Even on winter tyres with the awful noise they make, grip is still good and steering feels ok but they are designed to work on icey conditions, not for high speed aping around so I took it easy.
I'm sure Developer215 was here making deliveries

Whilst a 211 estate is ideal for making this sort of delivery, the 204 estate really is a triumph. Really chuckable and nice shock absorbers that keep the nose from kissing the ground as our roads are really bumpy.
The final stop was Balmaha before I faced the misery of Tesco in Maryhill....

I did get some socks, a lot of food and chucked the lot in the back of the C class and then ate. MPG for the day, 40.9mpg and 60 miles round trip. Thats a tenner for a nice morning out.
Who said driving for fun is expensive.
