Don't see may maroons but that wasn't me at the Rum distillery. The weather was really kind to us and I'm looking forward to another road trip. The journey home through Glen Coe was pretty good too - can't believe how uncluttered many of the roads up there are - a pleasure to drivecraig3.2 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 12:06 am Glad you enjoyed your first forum drive
Can't beat a bit of NC500 :
Were you by any chance at A Rum distillery On Monday or Tuesday just gone?
One of my mates spotted a Maroon z that looks very like yours.
Hopefully see you at a meet sometime in the future
Oh,and yes, Michael and Julie are a lovely couple,very enjoyable company indeed.
(Haven't met Andy or Chris yet, as they're relatively new to the z meets,and haven't had the pleasure so far).
Looks like a he weather held for you,Vorwend.

Great pictures , looks like a fabulous trip…I’ve added this to my bucket list…
I heard stories of heavy handed policing…how did you find that aspect?
Vornwend ‘ If, like me, you not used to this type of driving you can rest assured that the more experienced go out of their way to ease you into it and whilst there was plenty of very spirited driving it always felt safe.’
Was amused as to how they ‘eased you in’?
I dare hardly ask?

Haha, perhaps not the best description that - what I meant was there were clear instructions on convoy driving etiquette and it was emphasised that everyone was free to make there own choice about speed and under no obligation to do otherwise. A simple thing that I found very helpful was when the car in front was overtaking they would stay out in the overtaking lane with indicator on while the road ahead was clear. When you encounter traffic the convoy does inevitably get split from time to time but this minimised it a lot.The.Analyst wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 6:27 pm Great pictures , looks like a fabulous trip…I’ve added this to my bucket list…

We didn't have any issues with policing at all!
Its a fantastic driving experience, enhanced, I'm sure, by having great cars to drive!

My only chance to keep up with you Andy was to anticipate what you were going to do about 3 seconds before you did it But yeah one second you were there the next you were gone
