Shaun put me and Mays name down to

I think you new that already, Susan and yourself should be commended for this trip, the organisation was 100%.

there were no hitches at all

May and I would also like to thank all who attended this little

trip, it was truly awesome there are so much memory's that will stay with us for the rest of our lives, My photos have already been sent to the legend Jinxy.

From the outset at Huntly The cameras in all cars were snapping away even when the weather turned a bit, Sasha and Max especially must have some really fantastic shots i think Sasha was more out of the car when we were on the move than in it, the run up to Ullapool was fantastic the twisties are great for the MK1, after getting to Ullapool on time

some of the group went out for a look around the local shops then some refreshments cos we were all thirsty, then back to the royal hotel for a freshen up and then out for a bit to eat and refreshments the meal was top notch and the company to,( Michael I must commend you on not having the Haggis cos its a little live animal that runs round the highlands

).

Day 2
Some more memories.

Got up early to check the oil toped up, then had breakfast, I think we were all a little concerned about Allan and Mark who were the two who decided to camp, brave lads but no in they stroll in the morning ready for breakfast.

All are fed and watered, Met up with two drivers that had come through from Inverness to join up with us, out in the car park we spotted some classic vans and get chatting to the owners, there is a run held every year for classic lorries and light commercials the east coast to west coast run glad they didn't come the same route as our lot, one of the organisers of the east coats to west coast run decided he was going to have a photo shoot of all our mr2s this guy was adamant so we all had to form a semicircle with the cars so he could have his video and snaps, was good fun he was a right character he had a few of us laughing away.

We are ready for the off Cars fueled and us to, at this point the heavens opened up about 15 miles out of Ullapool the rain stops and the drive and photo opportunities become great

,we are heading towards Lochinver on a single track road, now i have been on this road before fantastic drive and views but what i and the others did not now was Shaun had something up his sleeve

Shaun turns of a few miles along the road, I shall call this part the mountain route o boy was this good there were twists and turns dips and rises, lochs, rivers and shear drops, Shaun this part tested every driver on there driving skills

and all past with flying colours be proud all cos this was a very testing part of the trip, we clear this and go on to Lochinver we stop for a short rest break park up all in a line across the car park and a it was some sight.

set of again heading for Scourie great drive up to Scourie Then one of the Inverness drivers that turned up to meet us at Ullapool was asked to take the lead

as he new where we could get some lunch in Durness and he knew the road well this was a fantastic part the twists and turns were great

.

Had some lunch then of again the heavens open up and the rain still didn't stop us enjoying the drive.

We get to connan bridge and the sun comes up all the way back to Inverness and have to part company with the two local guys these guys are top notch and we appreciated there company again

We all arrive at our respective travel lodges safe and trouble free.

We all then meet up in the Snow goose restaurant to reminisce about the past few days, where did the last two days go it just flew past

Now just a little foot note out of all the cars that were on the trip the only thing that went wrong with any of the cars was one tail light bulb needed to changed a testament to the owners and Toyota.

Bill and May are very Happy driver ad navigator who have met a Fantastic group of people
