Maybe it’s a short lived crackdown to remind drivers that the roads are policed.

I suspect that given the staycation impact that the level of policing will be at a higher level for the rest of the summer period..I guess it was inevitable given the popularity of this area with so many diverse users..hopefully by September things will have calmed down a bit..I think the days of chasing Atillio at some ridiculous speed are temporarily suspended..

Yes that was great fun and loved it. When myself and Mrs. Merbrook went back last September at a more sedate pace I noticed that although we did a greater distance we used at least one tank less of fuel.

Mo wasn’t impressed as I hit my speed limit warning (which I never ever thought I would reach) and I got an error on the iDrive stating ‘Boost implausibility’..

Yeah,Tim,to be expected with the amount of people holidaying at home,or in the UK.
Hopefully it will settle down by next year,when more foriegn Holliday's will be allowed.

How are you and Yvonne?

Unfortunately Craig we haven’t had as much good weather as yourselves.
Cars running great thanks, had a good weekend away in Wales two weeks ago with it, off to Shelsley Walsh classic nostalgia next weekend and Silverstone classic at the end of the month.

I’m just glad I was running mine in when I was up a couple of weeks ago as three different sets of unmarked cars and bike passed me to pull people on the way to/from Ullapool

[Pbondar]

Just an update that there are still hotel beds available on the route..

So this is a last call for upto 3 more cars for this run..

Just set up the WhatsApp group for this run, invites been sent to those listed..

Would have been up for this, though tempted to bring the bike, but all going well we fly out to Barbados on the 17th.
