It really is a small world eh. Was the only lodge with room to park the car right at the door aswell. Thats some road down to they cabins, Thought my bumper was going to scrape the road a few times, Even the turn in at the bottom of the hill was tight but never touched once thankfully.

Lol, 27 years ago I held up a brown trout I caught I'n the loch at the bottom of the hill ;)

I also said I'd take a mini along that road when I was old enough and I did a few years ago and it was as great as I remember it :yes nod:

Cheers for the welcome back and the mini :thumbs up:

No engine change for the corsa, Want to keep it the 1.6. Thats usually the first thing ppl do to them so am keeping it standard. Well engine will be, the bodywork is getting cleaned up an resprayed. Its just a project for me so wont see the road for couple of years.
