yep, just looking at it, they even managed to throw in lightning as well.

However considering that the forecast for Peterhead is rain all day today and it is a scorcher, they can go and fcuk themselves. Will settle for anything as long as it is not mist which is a no go.

Bloody luxury, choose which tyres.

Should I put that mix of rubbish on, or settle for a complete set of just rubbish.

Not sure that I ever recovered from Spa as to whether it was lack of tyres or lack of ability. The track that I have always wanted to do, but I could not get the car round.

The weather the first time at Spa was especially bad. You'd have liked it in March this year though!

About 7-7:30ish but we'll be there much earlier so really any time you like.Plus those on a run from Fort Bill across will arrive as and when throughout the day.

Did not get any replies to this, and would like to put the routes out in some format.

In fact I will send them out via TT yahoo groups as some must still have Autoroute.

Personally I do not think you can beat a map, but I suppose GPS can be useful as long as you do not rely on it to take you on the route that you actually want as opposed to what it thinks you want.

I am leaving Applecross off as I think it just takes up too much time, especially stopping there for lunch, but we drive right past the bottom so it is there for anybody that would like to include it. It can be a great drive around the loop if the road is clear, but completely spoilt if you can not get a clear run up. However there is a tut technique to get around this.

If anybody would like to take on converting the Autoroute version into what everybody can use, then that would be a help, and suggestions for amendments could then be added if you have knowledge of better roads.

Cheers

I've always found Metcheck to be more accurate (or maybe I just prefer their forecast :lol: )
