    I did not know they were RW drive, past about ten up north on a run; there was a few car clubs up the Highlands. MX5, Smart and Ferrari although the latter could have been just classic as there was some older 911 and Astons on the Road.

    Sorry I was going to take a look at that view point and small Ferry but past the Road before I remembered and thought – dam its now five miles back!!!!

    Dont mind at all, I'm right thinking the MX5 is a slower car to that of the S?
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Can you put myself and fi down for this one for next year please? Circumstances have all worked agains us for every other HT so far, and I'll be buggered if i'm missing another one! Got to say you're spot on. the road from Tongue > Durness is a total joy in a Mini (prob ok in an MX5 too tho ), we did it a couple of times a year or two ago. we didn't get as far as Ullapool tho, as we were staying in Tongue and had a few other places to visit first!

The 'new' road looks great on Google Earth, I've driven it a couple of times but many years ago. I would have included it in earlier runs but we've never had the time to spare. Trouble is I'll probably not be able to reccie it in the van as its a bit narrow....

    Are you getting the info from NM? or only posting NMS info, just to remind everyone that Paul is only updating the run on his site, if from Paul then you'll have to keep this thread updated
