VC Highland drive pics - April 2011
Still a little euphoric about it all to say much without gushing so these are a few of the many many pictures I took over 5 days - 5 days spent enjoying the best OC event I have ever attended.
Ann, Pete and Bob a huge debt of thanks can not be over expressed. I have had a simply wonderful weekend driving the very very best car I have ever owned through the most amazing scenery I have ever seen.
And the most amazing roads in the UK - the end.
Day 1
My trip reset to zero on Thursday last week.
My trip when I got back home tonight.
And this is what happened inbetween...

I think you have taken over from TLF this trip. I thought he was bad for sniping but you're just as bad
Much respect for getting some of those shots from the car while traveling at speed
It was a real pleasure hosting this as I'm sure Peter will agree. It makes our job worthwhile when we know everyone has enjoyed themselves. Here's to the next one
