    If it makes you feel better it pissed down the Monday, the day after the Applecross Run. and when I say pissed I mean it was the industrial Scottish stuff..............Going up the pass there was a great bunch on Vespa's coming down it, must have been twenty of them all having a blast.
    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!

    They were using the NMS Run 'alternative' route to Brighton!

    ps Still jealous.
    Remember going over Applecross on the Highland Fling last year and we couldn't see it for the mist and clouds... come to think about it, we could hardly see the car in front!

    that's par for the course though up there. I've been up more in murk than sunshine. At least in the murk you don't see who is driving the bus that tries to force you off the road!

    The only time I’ve been annoyed with driving up in the Highlands was when one guy deliberately did not pull in to let others pass when it would have been so easy and hold them up minimal. I'm sure it was on the Second HT on the road from Durness to Tongue with three MINI’s behind him and the fact is he’d probably seen the rest of the group but was passing big passing place after big passing place, he was ever driving slower I'm sure of it as well. Even if he’s a local and hates driving groups he could appreciate we are supporting the communities by holidaying there and take a second to think I’ll let these guys through.

    I missed the Truck episode being at the back but remember you were shaken that someone could just be such an arse to put it politely.

    Got to emit 90% of the people you meet up there are considerate and enjoy the whole passing places thing.
