good news, great drive and bad news - PAH!

well my rear spoiler now has a lovely big scrape on it where someone reversed a van into it. I can't prove it but I know who and what did it. Guess I will have to buy that rev5 unit afterall!

Went to Ullapool last weekend for the drive. No other reason, just the drive. Drove up Loch Lomond side through Glen Coe, onwards to the Caledonian Canal and then by the lochs all the way to Inverness. Was an awesome drive but a bit too much traffic on the Loch side, it happens. However the drive from Inverness to Ullapool was sublime. Utterly awesome section of tarmac that is just built for the hoon.

Saturday night was spent at the Broomfield Camp Site, recommended I have to say. Many many beers were consumed in the pub and then Sunday was spent trying to get breaky from a local cafe. Wonderful when we got it.

Sunday morning drive was then up to Lochinver which is a fantastic road but the afternoon was spent doing the Gairloch loop back to Clunie Inn. Staggeringly beautiful road to drive along, bliss and even more so with the recent tarring it has received. Anyways, on with the pic of the weekend.

PS - the video camera was tried and although I got some amazing footage it still cut out quite a lot. It's on ebay as we speak. Time for a proper bullet cam and DVR setup methinks

Lee's car looking less than it's usual immaculate self - some people just let themselves go
