Edinburgh

Hi guys,

Whats Edinburgh like? Thinking of a citybreak for a few days - never been to Scotland. Plenty to see and do?

Or is it just like every other city and not really worth the drive?

Thanks!

Why not? It's no more expensive than the train given two of us to split the fuel costs.

How far away is all the awesome Scottish scenery?

Why not fly, putting plym-scotland miles on your M5 replica will affect the resale value surely ?

Welcome back! I missed you SO much.

I don't drive an M5 replica, but thanks for your concern.

I stopped contributing to threads where you are making a donut of yourself 6+ months ago after I got bored of you trashing everything in retaliation, are you going to stop being irritating yet?

So cutting the slats out of the bumper to make it look like an M5 isnt actually making it look like an M5 then ?

What are you on about now? This is a thread about a citybreak not a thread about cars. I didnt cut any slats out of anything.

Why are you so obsessed with my car? Back when you posted in Motors you brought it up in every single thread :confused:

Was just some usefull advice, its a ton of mileage and not something i would want to do in a day, when you can fly which would probably be cheaper and a lot more comfortable, and quicker.

I don't need advice about putting miles on my car. I would have appreciated the advice had it not been fairly obvious it wasn't your intention, hence the 'replica M5' rubbish. It's a big saloon, i bought it to drive places, driving from end of the country to the other is exactly what it was designed to do. I wouldnt be going from Plymouth anyway I'd be going from Worcester, it's less than 400 miles from there to Edinburgh.

This thread is about whether Edinburgh is a nice place worth visiting. It is not about my car

Flying is £136 for two people and one bag with Easyjet, then £70 to hire a Focus for 3 days.

Actually I'm surpised at how cheap that hire car is, to be honest. But still, thats £200 and that buys a lot of fuel.

It certainly sounds like the nicest place in the UK to visit after London. We do London every year, fancied something a bit different this time.

Next decision is whether to go end of November or between Christmas and New Year.

End of Nov, I would avoid around New Year.

Any particular reason? Hotel prices are coming up fine, and I'd be leaving on New Years Eve so wouldnt get caught up in all that.
