Looks more like Glenshee than NC500.

Yep, I'd say the same. Is the Exige soft, or is it just the splitter that's really low (or indeed, down to the speed...)
If that's where I think it is, my little S1 doesn't bottom out there, even with some daylight showing...

Coming back home from The Twentys Plenty run - I drove through Pitlochry to fuel up.
i was cruising at 20mph & this woman ran onto the road and started waving her hand up & down at me.
i felt like stopping the car & saying i was doing 20mph (Albeit i was in 2nd gear & the exhaust was burbling away :-) )
I think they must all be getting pissed off with the noise of the cars too - never mind the speed.
Also happened on Saturday when we fuelled up - an old man who live across from the petrol station was waving his arms in the arm as some of the cars left the petrol station ....... obviously doesn't appreciate a 2bular exhaust :D
Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

Bloody cyclist was waving the slow-down signal at me & Duggie as we left Kincraig on old A9 on the Sunday.

I was exasperated at the default attitude.

Then I saw the cop car and breakdown he’d just passed, which we were now approaching

Nice fella ...

My initial thoughts were the same too.
Just goes to show, you should never jump to conclusions :thumbsup
Duggie

There are 3 types of people in the world. Those that can add up and those that can't.

That'll be the same cops that followed me all the way from Aviemore! They stopped for a sheep on the road before Kingussie. I was going to help but then realised it was my chance to not have them sitting right behind be down the road!
