Just thought I'd post this up here seeing as there's some nice pictures, it's a copy and paste from another forum...
Well, seeing as I've no interest in the election, the names are the only difference IMO, I thought I'd head out on a drive.
So I woke up at half 4 this morning then decided sod it, back to bed
, woke up at quarter past 6 actually got up and I was away by half past. First leg of the adventure was to get to Fort William for some breakfast, no pictures here. Passed loads of competitors from the FIM 6 day trial on the way. I arrived in Fort Bill at 9 and sampled the gourmet that is a McDonalds bacon roll. Topped up the tank, averaged 29mpg up til now, great . Next it was up to the A87 towards Kyle of Lochalsh. I adore that bit road, it was deserted too and even with 150bhp I still had a laugh. Soon I turned of towards Plockton, famed because it's the only place in Scotland where palm trees can grow. Now I expected to turn up somewhere like Jamaica, it wasn't....
I quickly left and continued the run, the road to my next destination was actually a surprise, I didn't expect this much greenery!
The views weren't bad either.
Next it was a quick scoot round the big road (well bigger) to the Applecross turn off, what a road it is!
Got to Applecross, found a shop which sold things so I had a Double Decker for lunch, no cash machines up there
.
There's Skye...
The Coupe on some random beach.
More from the coast road.
Insert Astra wanting to be Calibra based joke here
It was then onto Dingwall and Inverness, had more sustance in the form of a Burger Kinglmao and met Geoff.
Afterwards it was just a head home down the A9 moment.
All in all not a bad days driving, 550 miles in 12 hours, about 32mpg average and the only casualty is a missing centre cap and a wheel that needs rebalanced after a mega pot hole. The car wasn't bad, though it wasn't great. A good bit more powa is required!
