Wow -it always gives me such a buzz when i first get into the M after 6 months away .
I always seem to forget how epic it is to drive .
Such an all round amazing experience and that intoxicating noise from the S54 .
I actually feel very priveleged actually to be able to do this .
Having been driving my Suzuki Swift to work the M feels bonkers quick .
Also I had forgotten how wide the M feels in country B roads -takes some getting used to again .
Went on a long loop of mostly twisty B roads from Dundee -Newytle -Meigle-Alyth-Blairgowrie-Bridge of Callie -Kirkmichael -Glenshee and back again .Roads were more or less empty with breathtaking scenary especially the Birdge of Cally to Kirkmichael road -simply stunning . Can recommend this to anyone wanting an memorable drive around Angus . TBH i'm still buzzing .
Maybe get out again tomorrow after work if its still sunny and warm .

Glad you got over the DVLA issues, and were able to make the most of a dry day.
It sounds like you had quite a drive!
I only did 70 miles today on mostly busy roads with speed cameras!
But if you know where the cameras are you can still have some fun.

Some nice roads there.
Is your Swift the Sport? Been thinking about getting one as a runabout.
