Hi All,
So I had some annual leave to use up and decided that I would take a little road trip to really stretch the legs of the GT-Four.
Started here:
Several hours later and a brief stop for lunch and obligatory border photo:
Scotland treated me to some fine weather, the drive along the A9 through the Cairngorms and then up the coast was epic:
Yet more hours later - final destination:
I then took a short detour to Duncansby Head which is technically the furthest point by road from Lands End:
Furthest car on the mainland!
I was really pleased with the performance of the car, the empty Scotland roads allowed me to exploit the power available and really give the TEIN suspension a workout. The roads were heavily salted and the car got totally covered but given the temperatures and the snow/ice I was glad for the gritting on the twisty bits. Quite a bit of the journey was in the dark, projector headlights worth every penny, very glad I splashed out on them.
I'd always wanted to do this drive, however not having spent much time in Scotland before it has made me realise that there is some fantastic roads and scenery, with the added bonus of being sparsely populated and there being little traffic. I will definitely be returning
Seriously tho, looks like great weather and stunning snow-covered hills. More like Rene's Arctic Circle road trip!
