Scottish meet - 7/8th August 2010 - Skye!
- Thread starter a11y
- Start date
Finally got my photos uploaded: http://www.flickr.com/photos/a11y_m/sets/72157624693585822/with/4877289460/
4-pots are so powerful they're kept behind bars:
"What do you mean no ferry?!"
If looks could kill, I think there'd be one less seagull in the world (also thought "MINE!" would be the best title for this photo - for anyone who's ever seen Finding Nemo):
Tree/pee stop:
What a view:
Shame I can't claim ownership of this photo (it was Mrs a11y who took it) otherwise it'd be in the photo comp:
"That's the strangest looking ferry I've seen - it almost looks like a bridge!":
Skye Bridge:
In the morning:
If I had a stubby then those photo would be even better (Nosa - there's quite a few photos of your car in action in my link above):
If anyone who was away wants a copy of the photos without my watermark then PM me - I can e-mail them.
Cheers
Ally

Approach rather than pace, as Siftah explained. One fun bit, on Skye, was chasing down an S4 - almost didn't bother at first so he had a bit of a head start. I really wanted him to stop so I could tell him the car behind was a 2.5! I recall JimmyPop punching the air as we cleared a couple of slow campers, they actually did us a big favour, we then had a great run down to Mallaig with very little in the way by that point
Other fun thing with this one, the amount of overtakes
Although not so fun when someone decides he's been passed by enough Z4s and closes the gap you're aiming for 
Was very surprised by Scotland, some of the roads you could have been in Europe.
Ally, great photos! Will have a look at your link later.
Sums it up really...

Get yourself to CostCo and pick one of these up: http://gallery.me.com/siftah/100038/Powerpack
It's a battery + a 300 watt inverter and will be enough to run a pair of straighteners from for a weekend or more. I bought one a few years back for the exact same reason, girlfriend totally refused to camp without having somewhere to plug her straighteners in
You can also use it to jump start your car if the battery goes flat, so it's pretty handy

I like the sound of this too - Mrs G hasn't acquired a taste for whisky either, so
+ then change pilot to allow for :drinking:! She loves driving the Zed too!

Don't worry Taz, you've got half a litre on him! He'll have to catch you before he can rear-end you
Nah, Zermatt drives a 3 litre, was about 2 inches off rear ending him on Saturday, it's not the engine....Its the driver that counts :evil:

Regarding a trip to Islay summer 2011, sounds like there may be a bit of interest, So as not to Hijack this thread I will start a new one, I appreciate its a year away but I intend to try and gauge how much interest there will be, I have already sourced a campsite and a couple of hotels. I am also going to contact Islay Airport and see if we can get on the Runway!!! 8)
LOTs to see and do on Islay and as Siftah said if we do it over 2 nights we should hopefully get a larger show from south of the border.
Regarding likeing or disliking Whiskey, Personally I hate the taste of the stuff but some of the smells you get in the mash rooms in the distillerys is fantastic and I love the whole Scottish whisky heritage thing.
The drive down to Kennacraig is also one of the best in Scotland, the scenery and roads are fantastic and we get to do it twice.

Definitely - there's no real difference between the cars on the road, whatever size the engine. The speeds through the corners are the same and that's what really makes these cars quick
