    Had the fortune to find a real gem of a road today, headed over the Cabrach to Dufftown... What a ride.... Anyone else been over it...??

    After getting out of Aberdeen, it really brought back how much fun driving should be....

    Ended up coming back over the Lecht just to complete the days drive...

    It's one of my favourite roads and that's why it was part of the Cullen run!

    I enjoyed it in the GP and the works S but its best driven in a cooper on the limits.

    Which Cullen Run was it on? I don't remember it on a Cullen maybe it was the first one. Mind you the Cullen's were usually at such a pace I could barely remember which roads we covered
