2012 Highland Drive - a foreigner's view
Day 1 - The Road to Ullapool
The open road beckons
spanky tries to convince Bob of the benefits of turbo power
VC adds some octane booster
If I ignore him, hopefully he'll stop trying to sell me whatever that thing is
Left hand down a bit.....
A shame nobody thought to tell her you can't get a signal up here
Cool Mk1
Irish eyes are smiling
This is the result when you get that bend all wrong
Mint Mk2
Not nearly enough stone chips - must try harder
I feel a right tit (note the bra line!)
Rested and Thankful: off we go again
Some ****** German gatecrashes our party
Moggie at Inverary
A thoroughly deserving cause and the car's pilot - top man
Bob strikes a pose while VC and Wabbitkilla ponder the meaning of life
"Control - Flight BA483: ready for takeoff"
Mk3-free zone
Progress halted
Here's why - the first of many!
More in due course

Re: 2012 Highland Drive - a foreigner's view
Your wish is my command mate.
Day 2 - To Infinity (well, Durness anyway) and Beyond! Part 1
Guess who had his oats this morning!
VC checks today's internet traffic
Last minute flight check before departure (that German car is still skulking around!)
Well don't just stand there man - help me straighten up
Lights, camera, action!!
Don't ask: just don't
Turbos at Tongue
Plus a Mk1
Still smiling
spanky is a tad disconcerted to find that f1.8 is not a new single seater racing formula
That ****** German tourist again - spoiling everyone's pics!
"By a lonely harbour wall....."
If he points that camera at me just once more, so help me I'll deck him
You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
Hmmmmm - I wonder if I can con him into buying the Forth Rail Bridge
Superstar travels incognito
It's a long way to Tipperary.....
Durness bay
One Man and His Dog arrive on set
But where are the ****** sheep?
Steve tries to impress the lady with his belly dance routine
Former friends appear to have had a tiff.....
I could have sworn I left it here
Ooooh - nice legs!
Ann and Ray discuss photographic composition while VC concentrates on rolling a spliff
Fully armed and ready to shoot
Hehehe - the silly sod bought it
Onwards and upwards

Day 2 - To Infinity (well, Durness anyway) and Beyond! Part 2
Intermission at Kylesku
Steve tends to his rock garden
Proper Alan Titchmarsh, me
An extremely rare sighting of the male redback paparazzo
Flyby x3
Still a noticeable lack of stone chips mid term report: very poor effort
Still on the lookout for bunnies to hunt
Steve spots one first
Run, rabbit, run
Got it in my sights
The danger isn't over mate.....
Bang! - I win
A couple of visitors drop by
OK which of you b******* stole the camera?
Another flyby
Rats - I forgot to remove the lens cap
According to this I'm in Stavanger.....
Yes, I know, I forgot - no need to rub it in
Someday my ship will come in
Confirmed - native Scotish yeti exists!
Another squall threatens - time to move on

Re: 2012 Highland Drive - a foreigner's view
Day 3 - Over the hill and far away
Should have gone to Kwik Fit
Steve is gutted when he discovers his shiny new spanners from e-bay are Whitworth sizes
Looks like someone had one too many last night.....
Hmmmm - I reckon I should be able to grab his camera when he stops for a pee
OMG - I thought we had seen the last of those ****** cyclists!
VC tries to work out how and when the saucy pictures got onto his camera
I just hope Dee doesn't see me like this.....
What the **** has that **** Frog done to my car??!!
I hope we get going soon or we'll be too late for lunch at Applecross
Roll call
Skyeline
Applecross Bay
Too much information.....
"Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing"
Retro (same MY as mine)
The coast road
The paddock
Loch Maree
More retro
X-Man
Mean. Moody. Magnificent.
Chuffed
Brrrrrr.....
He loves his MR2 more than me
Gairloch
Loch Ewe, Loch Thurnaig, Gruinard Bay, Little Loch Broom
Day 4 to follow

Day 4 - The Final Leg
Our hosts for the weekend - Tony & Bev
Pfft! On this trip I can outrun your turbo anytime, anywhere, mate
I really don't know why I associate with that motley crew of reprobates
Whatever he said - it worked
Another late night, eh?
It's not the jokes: it's how you tell 'em
"Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy..."
"Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Frog and I'm about to put the hammer down"
Flat in fifth
Pit stop
Struie Hill above Dornoch Firth
spanky searches for his missing socks.....
Lead on Macduff (yes, I know it's a misquote!)
The awful truth dawns on spanky
He has been taking pics with his wakie talkie and speaking into his camera all weekend.....
She's still happy and he's still chuffed
The Irish crew say goodbye before heading for the ferry and home
Being unable to speak Gaelic makes things a tad hard to understand
spanky translates
Sneaky SCP operative nets a bumper catch of MR2s
And lastly
There are some things that defy explanation
Until 2013 - Slán Abhaile
