Sunday drive in Scotland with a car full of scaffolding.
First proper drive in the car for ages.
Headed from the house over to Aberfeldy via the Sma Glen (30 mph most of the way due to sunday drivers and then a fresh fall of snow) then down the side of Loch Tay into Killin before heading down the glen to Loch Earn, Comrie and home over the Lang side.
Took about three hours and it was a rough drive due to the snow on the top of the glens, the noise form the sand and gravel in the arches and to top it all off the suspension made it a back breaker when you try to put the power down and make some progress. Skipped all over the road on patches of slush, ice and then there is also the poor quality of the road surfaces. Even in the jeep they can be rough, so when your out in this its like torture.
Thats here parked up till spring now, when the roads might be dry again and all the dirt has had a chance to wash away!!!
Next time she is out she will have the MoTec fitted, so the hills will be alive with the sound of ..... music....well..something like that!
Not many pics but a wee taster anyway.
Enjoy

Yep, good to get her back.
As I said, not had her on the road much since October.
Did KH and then parked her up, so it was good to get a few road miles in for a change.
A long way to go before Im happy though. Little by litte......

Thanks Carl, cant beat the white ones eh!!
Marc, yep, not spoken in ages. Never did get the IM sorted on the Skandi Neptune. I was too busy
Been off since the 28th of October
as I had a wedding to go to in Barbados at the end of Nov, so just booked the holiday time and Christmas together. Been delayed on getting back out to the GOM as the Ska Nep was in dry dock for a thruster. Heading out there on Tuesday though. Happy days. Get some candy in the bank
14 weeks off is no use!!
