Cool WHAT A GREAT ROAD !!

I was up north doing some of the west highland way at the weekend and just thought i would post a wee note to anyone who like myself hasn`t driven the A82 in there scooby before to do so a.s.a.p. WHAT A ROAD !!, i left on friday night and it was lovely, i feel i got to know the car so much more( i have had it for nearly 4 months now) i got a superb run up from the bridge to the kings house hotel, the grin was definetly from ear to ear . As for the west highland way the scenery was out of this world and my feet are feckin killing me and i have one thing to say to people that have done it all it a short space of time

Aly I will have to second that, I was up in the dunoon area last week drove the A82 and the A85 lots of flat out straights and hardly any traffic and I thought we had the best roads in cumbria I might have to think long and hard on that question now mate

You guys should come 2 the Highlands there's loads of fantastic similar roads up here. Just back from a run up 2 Gruinard Bay this afternoon, amazing roads, lovely scenery & golden beaches Only downside was intercooler spray running dry due 2 the heat so gentle run back till i could get it topped up.
