VC Highland drive pics - April 2011

Post by vanilla.coffee »

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...

Travelling up on Thursday

I think you have taken over from TLF this trip. I thought he was bad for sniping but you're just as bad :laughing

Much respect for getting some of those shots from the car while traveling at speed :th:

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 :clapping:
