Morning Men. We are well on the way. Drove up through the dales and got bloomin soaked as I took the roof off. Sky is really grey but dodged the rain so far north of Hawes. Bloomin cold though but having a great drive up. Will reply to comments later.

Narrow body seats for sale They do have Caterham written on them. One has a small snag but can't be seen when there in the car. I have photos but can't remember how to upload. Pics Can be emailed straight away. These seats are so so confutable and support the drive well especially under your legs. Would be looking for £75 for the pair plus postage or you could collect then from me in Coventry. If you have any questions then just ask. Apologies if I have offended anyone using the word Caterham. Will try on eBay if no joy here.

It's character building . Glad you made it to Scotland fingers crossed that the promised heatwave heads your way. Once it's over you will look back on the experience with a smile and good memories. At the time it's like hell on earth lol.

Well we have arrived at Glencoe. Absolutely soaked with seats full of water, floor full of water.... Everything. We drove with no roof on just the half doors in pouring rain. The rain was on the outside of the screen, the inside of the screen and on both sides of my glasses. My hat is sodden and my clothes were all stuck to me and I looked like a bag of spuds in latex. It was such a blast though but felt really cold when I got out the car. Carol was ok but not as enthusiastic but she never complained. At the moment Buttercup is under an arch protected from the rain but is blocking the hotel car park so just have to hope no-one wants to be out.

@ Hyperfan... Just to let you know, Quinten's is one of those subtle, shy, hard to spot Westies... So if you feel a little bit invisible dont worry. You can also get them in shouty Dark Green (Stuart's) or Navy (mine) if you want to stand out more...

We are just making our way to glencoe and blooming frozen. Cannot stop smiling though

It always rains in Glen Coe! Don't think it ever stops. took Mr Toad to Maillaig a couple of years ago when walking on Rum. Got absolutely soaked coming back. No weather gear, aeroscreens. Loved it. Ortlieb bags are your friends for keeping clothes and kit dry. Jen

hi buttercup - when we went touring in the dax we did away with the spare wheel - saving weight and stopped the bottoming out [you could of course fit stiffer springs just for the tour]. with no spare wheel you could make a rack for a waterproof box - out of the wind - low down and far easier. the rack was simply 2 bars bolted to the chassis under the fuel tank area. the bars came out the back of the car and wooden bars were fixed to them rather like a seat. simply bungee down a builders waterproof box or whatever takes you fancy - i added a number plate board... easy job. use a can of tyreweld or the rac / aa if you get a puncture with that sorted you have the option of full roof or not

Gotta love a mighty cross flow

Sounds great. We love Skye - we were there 2013 for a week and it was very wet but we still loved it. And if you're doing Skye then don't miss Plockton on your way in or out. If you want a real treat then go to the Three Chimneys on Skye for dinner. Expensive but fabulous. Or the fish restaurant just down from the Stein Inn. Have a fab trip

I've always been intrigued by what constitutes an original
