Being honest the 100 or so miles through the Scottish borders to get to Bamburgh was more enjoyable from a roadtrip perspective
some great roads & scenery with virtually zero other cars on them as we travelled west to east from Carlisle Never been to Northumberland so mission accomplished with our drive down from Bamburgh / Seahouses / Craster etc but it was flooded with tourists by midday ( much like myself i accept ) & everywhere you would want to visit resembled a park & ride / walk so we simply drove through . Seen it now , not sure i would rush back though i appreciate there was plenty to see .
Took the z for a New Year’s Day run up to west bay in dorset
Cracking weather, roof down all the way.

Aye, must admit Northumberland is getting a bit too popular at the moment, it used to be bliss! The Isle of Skye down to Lomond is still my favourite
Yes i'm with you there Stupot , the road alongside the west of Loch Lomond is a real beauty but timing is vital , get there early or late with little traffic & it is hard to beat for bends & scenery alongside the lake
Ive covered a lot of Uk miles , many favourites nearer home in Lancs but 2 that really stick with me are Pitlochry to Grantown over Glenshee through the Cairngorms ( probably my no1) & the road out of Bedgellert to Ruthin via Nant Gwynant & Snowdon

I have to look twice with your Zed - its my twin
Well today I did something rather radical 
I put my whippy back on.
Despite the fact the stubby looks better, the reception from the stubby was crap
I’m sure there are better stubbys out there, but the one I was using was crap.
I recall I had a oem one on the 85, and that was better, so that may be the answer.
So for the time being , back to the remote control car look

I wondered the same
Oo-er that does look a bit worrying :?
Funny you mentioned that, I've found exactly the same thing. Stubby (it was more of a semi-stubby) was very good on the E85 but the E89 stubby is not great at all.Phoenixboy said:Well today I did something rather radical
