Angus and Perthshire Roadtrip

Post by Adamski » Sun Apr 29, 2012 4:35 pm

Had a good day out in the cars yesterday. Me and couple of other friends took the roads in Angus and Perthshire for a blast.

The cars:
My 3.0i Z4
Subaru Impreza WRX
Nissan 200SX - modified beyond belief, and pushing 300bhp from a 1.8 16v lump :o

We covered some great roads, including the Dundee to Coupar Angus Road, Blairgowrie to Kirriemuir road, and various others. Here's a few pictures - apologies for the quality, they are all iPhone pics.

I'm glad it was a sunny day, as I managed to have the roof down nearly the whole time.

I'm not normally a fan of Japanese cars, but my mates love them. I'm trying to convince the Subaru owner to get a BMW, but he wants a Toyota Supra for his next motor.... Booooo :thumbsdown:

The 200SX, for an old Datsun, it really did shift. It's fully stripped out, roll cage, stage 2 turbo, uprated fuel pumps and injectors etc and loads of other things which I didnt understand and don't have the vocabulary to repeat :lol: Needless to say, it's had a healthy few thousand spent on it, and it shows. Shame the turbo doesnt come on song until 3,500rpm... (it redlines at 8,500 :evil: ) It's been made to be a drifting machine, and he regularly takes it to "drifting" days at the local race circuits.

All in all a good road trip :)

Main reason for all this hooning just now is that the Impreza driver, one of close friends, is on a 20 day break from Afghanistan.

I'm planning to let the zed have a rest after he's left the UK. Especially with Applecross in 3 weeks, then the Lakes meet in July. Been addding a fair few miles to the zed lately, and now she's pushing 75k on the clock :(

Not tucking up totally. Just making more use of the shed for daily runaround trips and commuting....

Totally agree on mileage is smileage though :thumbsup:
