Loving the photos :thumbs: Don't suppose you went through a village/town called Fochabers did you? I used to live there...haven't been back in almost 20 years though...maybe I should plan a little Scottish road-trip of my own to re-visit all those places from my childhood! :D

Fochabers is about 30 miles from where I live, didn't go through it thoughas it now has a bypass!

Looks good and the car is looking less midge splattered than I was expecting. Please tell me you have the legs on your mate when you depress the loud pedal!!!

 

Very jealous!

 

It looks quite dirty in some, but i did give it a wipe down on the second day before heading off ! :thumbs: The cars are very similiar when it comes to performance. Never really had a "lets find out who's quickest" moment

No hun, I simply went to school there (Milnes High!)

I'm a cockney, but my parents, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the education system was better in Scotland, so me and my brother got a Scottish education before moving back daaan saaath at 16 lol! I don't miss the frigid winters up in the Grampians! :cold:
