Good luck with the house hunting - you will need it!
There are no Gatso's (yet) some planned. They use mobile cameras (far worse than gatsos as they bloody move them about). A Few traffic cars too - a Volvo T5 is the most famous.

So much going on - where are the 1/4 mile runs etc - I've had my green MY98 Turbo Sportswagon for 3.5 months now and he's called Lucifer - S64 LCF - what else and could really do with getting to know where the Scooby meets are.
Been in the Inverness area for 15 years now and oh boy the blue lights - invested in one of those things recently that the local bobbies don't like - and it seems to be going off all the time - mind you am on the A9 most of the time.
Anybody see the recent SIDC article on one of my favorite work runs. The right foot is itchin but think a run over the West in October would be great for a convoy of Scoobs - whose up for a run to Ullapool - fast across the top - and then a quick potter down to Gairloch and Kinlochewe - finally have a bite in the Applecross Hotel and back to the 'sneck - late evening.
Let me know what you all think ?

Just keep an eye out, I have been up and down from Ullapool a couple of times of late. I noticed that almost every layby on the good bit of the road from Garve on up has some nice VASCAR lines painted nearby.
I also noticed a LOT of bikes on the road with the front at Ullapool looking like a bike show. Aways likely to attract the attentions of HM Photographic Tax Collectors.
In saying that, in view of the nature of the really good bit of that road and the fact that most trouble makers are likely to come from Dingwall, a bit of scouting, a few well placed lookouts and use of the mobile phone could prove very effective in ensuring a good day out for a group.
It has the potential to be such a good fast road that it also has the potential for a ticket for 130 in a 60. In the current climate of oppression you could go to prison for that.

There are plenty of scoobys in the area and would be a great idea to get a meet going and the last one fell through due to most of the guys working. I have never seen your car going aboot Red Admiral. I live 3 miles from Evanton i suppose your local is the novar arms?

Re "Red Admiral"

How well does ur wee "device" work - is it worth while? So many on market, not sure which is best considering we have so may mobile cam's. Lazy b@#tards even clocked me once driving past p.station - too lazy to even show themselves & be out in the cold!!!
