Very interesting - does this have any backing/support from LR/Jag?

Its a bit condensed, I grant you !

Waking up Tues AM in Glasgow and then heading up the Old Military Road up to Inverness, then over to Applecross pass before sunset and will stay over at Ullapool.

Weds AM up early to complete the NC500 and head down towards Perth.

Thurs AM up early to head back down to the Midlands !

And for the record, Mr Harris I am not ... I've been on this forum for 7 years, and for more times that I care to recall I have always tried to share my experiences and thoughts through posts and photo's ... this is simple a modern evolution.

If you don't like it / me / my car / my hair (or lack of it) - here's a novelty - don't click the link !

this is the EVO great drives video of the Old Military Road

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkAT82-R0S8

quite simply one of my favourite vids ever (along with their ECOTY15 and the Chris Harris on Cars Hyper Car trio vid)

Its inspirational for anyone who truly loves driving

Its just a shame Scotland is so bl00dy far away !!!

Good job Tesco 99 is now cheaper than Diesel !! If there is ever a time to run a 5.0V8 1,200 miles to John O'Groats and back, it is now - petrol will never be cheaper

I'm Australian so being a jock is nae excuse. Apology is duly welcomed though. That post almost gave me brain cancer. Just throw in a period or comma every now and then, it stops brain hurt and kinda looks better.
No matter where you go, there you are.
