NC500 / P.E.N.I.S 287 - Picture Heavy!

[Argyll Andy]

Glad you enjoyed it

Some cracking pictures there, the car’s looking fantastic

You’ll have better fun in the roadster next time, you might even get the odd hour of sun

I blame taking the Coupe for the rain. If you go in a Roadster you're 100% guaranteed sunshine.

Well I voted roadster in your poll so I’m off the hook

The roof down just makes an already fantastic experience even better. As I said to you previously, these are the type of roads I drive daily

I did fancy Ireland myself but I think outwith a few more trips in Scotland/U.K. a 14 day European trip is what we’ve just started planning. We’ve got as far as agreeing the Chunnel the rest TBC

If you make it towards the South of France I can highly recommend the Route De Grand Alps and the Vecors. Happy planning!!!

Cheers, joking aside we haven’t set any plans yet except we want to do the Alps in various parts and the OH wants to go to Switzerland. Once we’ve had a bit more of a serious conversation about it I think I’ll be posting a help wanted post with suggestions and take it from there.

I had a quick look there at Route De Grand Alps and that looks like a good shout but when I googled the Vecors nothing came up, what’/where’s that?

We just want the best experience and are more than happy to take advice from more experienced members.

The one thing we agreed on last night was we will book the first night and last nights hotel to tie in with the Tunnel but apart from that we’re going to add to the adventure of stopping where an when we want for overnighters

With that weather how is the coupe still clean? those photos have to be photo shopped .. or you are using one hell of a ceramic product

But seriously great photos, and a trip I would love to do one day. The trip South also sounds like a dream trip.

This was a tip given to me by someone on this forum and it did not disappoint!

I did clean the car 3 times whilst I was on the trip and yeah I do have Carbon Collective ceramic coating applied (only done a few months ago)...but, you're also right about the Photoshop bit. I'm not amazing at using it but I know a little bit, enough to enhance an image shall we say.

Lovely stuff. Any favourite bits? Took me a few goes to even remember where I’d been.

I think the main thing you learn when it comes to Scotland is that there’s the north and then there’s the north. If you’re seeing more than one German motor home every 10 minutes then you haven’t gone far enough yet.

Great pics. Brings back memories of our trip a few years ago. We were blessed with sun every day. We're planning on doing it all again next year

Good man! I can't wait to get back there next year. A trip to Ireland in the Coupe is on the cards first though.

Ireland is on my list too. I plan to get the overnight ferry from Liverpool which gets into Belfast for around 7 fresh to hit the north coast

Favourite bit...the bit with the mountains

I tried to remember which bits were where but like you said, I need another run at it I think. Most of it on the west coast was epic and Bealach Na Ba will live long in the memory.

Looks a great trip and some cracking photos
I was hoping to get a euro trip done this year in the cayman but Covid put paid to that. I never considered the NC500 but looks like I should have done!

Awesome photos. We 'had' planned to do this , this year, but it all went to cock. So, we have booked the same places ( except one hasnt confirmed yet) for next June . Can't wait !!
