Yup got a bit hairy for a second there, didn't it? :D Promised myself I wouldn't 'commit' given the conditions but as soon as the flag went, that all went out the window. Got it all on the Gopro and you can see the twitch start just before I entered the wee stone bridge. Never mind, they do say if you don't slide it you're not pushing hard enough... :thumbsup

Shame about my old man's jag getting reversed into in the car park at the top. Some bumper damage and a snapped off rear bumper mount it seems. A bungee got him safely home and I'm glad it didn't spoil his day too much as he was having a ball up until then.

Good to see that you had an enjoyable day guys, would love to have done it again exactly a year after the last one, but for two reasons I was not able to.

Didn't realise that was your Lambo. We were parked 2 along and your old man let us out just after the incident.

Looked like more than a twitch looking down on it, well held & a better effort with the roof than all the elises/VXs etc..

Good to catch up with folk, drive home for us was interesting, did the Kinlochleven loop, stopped for dinner at the Crannog in Fort William in glorious sunshine, roof off deserted drive through glen spean, sprinkling of snow in Aviemore turning to full on blizzard by Dufftown and 25mph crawl behind the gritter home. Got back about 10:30 and washed the car before garaging it to wash the salt off, neighbours thought I was mental.
