This afternoon we have moved hotels and did 100 miles round trip to collect the bags. Coming back I had already travelled the road a few times so didn't bother to look at the scenery as much. The road to the side of Loch Linnie, travelling north to Glencoe is amazing for our cars. The road surface is so smooth with some great bends and straights and the scenery is breathtaking. If anyone is up this way it really is worth the 15 minutes you are on the road. Think it is the A828. Regarding the rain... It has not stopped yet. Tomorrow going to go to the Glenfinnan Viaduct and to the three sisters again.

Does my bum look big in that?

Afternoon all. Second day of pouring rain but we have been out and about. Changed hotels today and lost a load of money but the first one is terrible. Feel happier now. Drove to Glenetive this morning and did 30 miles or so at 10mph. It's where they filmed some of Skyfall and it was absolutely breathtaking. Just getting something to eat now and then off back out to get our stuff from the other hotel. Used half hood today for the first proper time and it is worth every single penny.

Thanks everyone for all the detailed reponses. A very useful read. I have sent you a pm Quinten,a very kind offer and im sure a trip out in one will answer lots of questions.

My wife can travel with only a clean pair of knickers and a toothbrush, although as she's a Scouser, only the toothbrush is absolutely essential.... Enjoy your trip Buttercup...

Ordered!

Cheeky!

Reminds me of the old "At last we meet, face to face!" joke.

Nice to see R7 WSC "posing" for the camera while getting something from his car on the front cover photo.

Enjoy it what ever the weather dishes out all part of the mystic , when the sun shines it is THE best scenery .............you , the misses and the car will dry out

Agreed

Sorted now John

Hats off to the missus! It's one thing driving/riding in the rain and getting soaked, but another to endure it as a passenger. Respect

I've always been intrigued by what constitutes an original

Inclusivity is the word -- in the Cotswold area we positively encourage other kitcar make owners to join in -- assuming we believe that Westies are the best value for money for performance we have nothing to fear, just lots to gain. Great organistion by Andy and the team with the best show at Stoneleigh--long may it continue

Can't ban non-Westies 'cos, being an inclusive club, we have club members that own other seven-esque cars. There's at least 4 at my local meet (Cotswolds) who attend regularly and contribute to meetings etc.
