  1. On the A816, there's a cracking hotel called the Loch Melfort hotel, spent a very tranquil few days there on R&R from my last 'Stan tour. Got great gardens, SNT, but worth the admission, the food in the hotel is amazeballs Views right down the loch from every room, very romantic, all of the rooms have balconies
  2. *nodding very slowly* Double post, no? Oh I see, that something is something none of you are probably capable of naughty boys
  3. Right, now that the juvenile internet bullying things out the way:). I'll make a positive ( mine have been positive comments so far) contribution If I were 'allowed' to come along, these are some of the suggestions on routes/slight detours that I would love to show you. Not knowing your route I've put together a couple of options If you are going up the A82 and planning on a west coast route North, may I suggest hanging a right onto the A817, this is the old military road that the nuke convoys used to take for Faslane. It's fast, very fast, sweeping and suited to all types of performance cars, you will all do well to keep up with Adie in a GTR on this, wider than normal rural roads. At the end turn right onto the A814 to Arrocher. A much tighter road, but stunning Loch Long views, you also get to see some interesting military infrastructure. Not suited to SMDs Jag, more the Wills Zed, the GTR will not struggle, however the Zed will keep apace with ease. You then have two options at Arrocher: 1. Turn right on the A83 to Tarbert and pick the A82 up to continue north along Loch Lomond. 2. Alternatively, turn left onto the A83 and head for Inveraray, a good stop off, atop the 'Rest and Be Thankful', tea n bun wagon there, or onto the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar ( this is where Blair, Brown and Prescott had their carving up meeting), food is simply better than anywhere you'll have eaten seafood before. Continue to Inveraray and again, you have two options, take the A819 back directly North, to the A85 ( two options there again) or go a bit further down to Lochgilphead. This route has open stretches from the 'Rest and Be Thankful' and beautiful winding, excellent surfaced roads, I've driven an M3 and an R8 on this route. At Lochgilphead, turn right at the Crinan Canal, onto the A816, head North to Oban. I've got fantastic contacts there that will make your stay, if you did very interesting, bit of a punchy town so if you're a bit of girl, it pays not to start an argument The A816 is challenging, for the most part it's very winding, suit the GTR and Auti (I presume) of the Jag, can be tiring in a manual. If you have the bottle, it's a tremendous road to hoon! Once up in Oban, cross the Connel bridge onto the A828, again, twisty and in some places tight, not passing place tight but more suited to a hot hatch/Zed. Once across the Ballachulish Bridge, on the A82 again, there's the Corran ferry, take it, then head North again. I need to get to work now, so can't post up any more at the minute, but suffice to say, have a great trip, enjoy the roads, my country and stay safe
  4. Blunt Romanian all you want Yeah, (Edit), Darren B, some don't get my humour, hay ho
  5. It is mate, but I'm in no rush. Be more special than a special thing when it arrives (Q, Torqueen )
  6. Ok . C'mon Adi, it'll be great . I might be able to show you a nice road or two
  7. What's the route then boys? Seriously, even though I'm hated BY YOU ALL!!! I would like to meet up
  8. We have contacted all the Scottish members that we wanted to meet up with thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Meh.. Happy with that
  9. What ever gave you that idea Absolutely spot on the money though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Loverly, I'll get Q and N division to look out for ya Ooh number plates as well I get the feeling none of you like me . I'm so sad On a brighter note, my week won't be wasted then
  11. Ooh, I could meet up with you, I live in Scotland. What's that? Oh you knew that
  12. I've got one in my garage the question is what price can you do it for, I know the part number. There might be others who would consider doing business with you though. Good pun though 'high horse' :lol: get it, Pony, high horse, oh never mind......
  13. It's a, now read carefully this time, FORD RACING PERFORMANCE PART TOURING CATBACK BY BORLA, NOT A BORLA PART! Do all your customers have to do their own research :lol:
  14. Ok best price for the FRPP Touring by Borla?
  15. Great video you must be excited!! When is delivery due? Not overly excited at the moment. Done my research before I committed and knew about the wait times, first ones should be in the UK around mid October early November this year. I'm in a position that I'm not rushed. My ETD is anywhere between mid June-late August. If it's the later, I'll register on 1st September. As I've mentioned, I've got a few mods waiting in the garage already, spacing out the buying of these, ready for the big day. Should sound something like this: The one I've got is the FRPP Touring by Borla, slightly different design, bit deeper sound
  16. Please don't buy a Renault! One of my girls has got a Megane hatchback, it's an awful drive.
  17. I understand. You will have definitely dropped down the pub bragging rights table with the measly power output now I'm barred from all the pubs, I'm too much of a fanboy apparently
  18. Yeah, apoplectic with self harming thoughts
  19. I'll have you know, my eyebrows are trimmed with every haircut I get, gonna try waxing them next
