It's a really nice spot Jim - the viewpoint is like a mini-Cairn o Mount
Well, I jumped in the car this evening and took a run up there.
I guess the secret is knowing when the sun might make a good appearance

I'll not post a pic of the murky gloom at the top. Not really Insta material
The run over there was decent tho so if you're doing it again or something similar then gimme a shout

We were there September last year during a nice spell.
I suspect the route there from yours is more interesting than from mine though
Definitely should get a photo opportunity with the two Italians - would look great!

Thanks mister - appreciated
Was out enjoying the weather yesterday - don't think I've enjoyed driving a car so much at all speeds!

Great to hear it’s been a successful year.
No problems/expenses plus lots of fun times with the Alfa
Interested to hear a write up on Le Mans Classic.
Starting considering it for this year but looks it won’t work in with holidays plans.

Cheers Ian - and yes I'll see about doing a write up on LMC - only 3 months to wait now.

Epic - love it and would love to see it in the flesh.
Did you see the ex-alfaholics mechanics car recently- would love it in theory, but not sure I can handle anything other than boring at the mo.

Had a cracking day a few weekends back on a charity classic car tour to Glencoe and back (with some royalty for company no less

) - weather was amazing and the old girl ran perfectly
You actually forget how truly stunning the scenery is

and it's all the more appreciated when not belting along in a Caterham or Elise
This pic was one of a few taken by the charity snappers - shame about the modern German cr4p - the 500 & CRX behind are ex-SEers

Also - a benefit of the LHD is I spotted a scamera van coming back out of Glencoe, so stuck my left arm out and did the shooting-a-gun hand gesture at him (pow-pow), and he waved back
