Spent 4 days up at Applecross and Skye a couple of weeks ago and drove some great roads I hadn't been along before, Lochcarron-Kinlochewe-Sheildaig-coast road to Applecross-Applecross pass and most of Skye, 800 miles door to door :thumbsup Met a local chap Peter from Skye who had recently bought an Exige and was interested to see if there was any clubs for runs etc. We arranged to meet up the next day for coffee and a run down from Portree but with the heavy rain that had been on overnight it turned out to be more of a 'sail' than a run :D There was a HUGE amount of water coming off of the hills. Turns out Peter also rides trials over there 8)
Got some half decent pics along the way.

Somebody (Reverie I think) made X Wing winglets a few years back. When F1 cars had a wing on every available surface. Can't see them doing much, but if he likes the look, fair enough.

I think the previous owner worked with carbon fibre and made all the bits ,Peter doesn't mind having one that looks a bit different.
