more the sheep you have to worry about! although I did notice one farm we passed seemed to use the exact same shade of green for marking the sheep as marci is........that is handy

A 3200 can't keep up with a non S Boxster in the twisties? Hmm I think you need the right driver mate? I assume Fiona was in Marci and you were in Baz? :)

The sooner you get some ARBs sorted Dave, the better then! ;)
That said, I think the chassis and balance on the Boxster is superb and will outperform the 32 (and most others I reckon) all day long on corners.......different animals.

See you in sept Mr Walker! Speak to Trevor, he stayed in fort Augustus when he was up and will know the watering holes better than me.

Think it is safe to say that Fiona now has the bug. Sunday is usually laze about day, maybe wash the cars, maybe not......but usually little else done. Today though over our usual late Sunday breakfast "fancy a run to Ullapool since the sun is out?" Said with a real twinkle in her eye.........what have I started! ;)

We stayed at the Inch hotel on the A82 just outside Fort Augustus. Lovely place (former hunting lodge) with bags of character overlooking Loch Ness. The food was great, especially the game pie. To be fair, the hotel food and hospitality was so good we didn't really venture too far away from it. You'll love the roads and the scenery no matter what. Greg and Fiona are superb hosts and know all the local beauty spots for photo opportunities. Feeling ever so slightly jealous now :)

We are staying at Bank House B n B for that leg, may have bitten off more than we can chew that day as its going to end up being 200 miles that day, I enjoy driving but was hoping to break it up with a mid day visits - may have to press on for the last day though!!
We are doing the NC 500 route in 4 days with an alternative start from Fort William - I will do a separate thread when the journeys begins on the 19/20th September.
