Well that's us had the Mini since November so it was about time to go for a proper run out with her, Me and the g/f took a trip up from Falkirk to Perth, Murthly, Mekilour, Blairgowrie and over the A93 Glenshee to Braemar, a great road for the wee car ;) loads of fun ( probably the downfall of my windscreen though :argh: ) down Royal Deeside and into Aberdeen, stayed overnight there( got a room at the Raddison for £44 b&b for us both yipeeee :smilewinkgrin: )
This morning headed up via Alford, Tarland, Cockbridge, The Lecht and Tomintoul to Aviemore then a wee blast home, 411 miles and 36 mpg with no probs so well happy ;)

A few pics from our trip, enjoy

All pics were taken with my i phone so I appologise about the quality
