Yeah I'm ok thanks Was staying at the gf's last night - she lives near the attack but luckily we'd decided to stay in. Heard all the gunshots etc which was quite scary, particularly as if we'd decided to go out, we'd have almost certainly gone to see the fireworks.

Christ!

Glad you're safe and well.

Thanks!

Currently hoping the tourists don't all stop coming or I'll probably lose my job

People still went to Paris after Charlie Hebdo - I still went there shortly after (landed the same day as the peace marches) and I'm fairly risk averse. You'll be fine

I've had a lot of tours cancelled this week already but hopefully after a week or two it'll pick up again.

Done my first 1000 Miles in the Evo and loving it. Heres a few from my trip up north to highlands.

That is amazing, where abouts is that?

Dave85 · 15 Jul 2016 at 23:33

Couple of those are from Glencoe area and the one by the lake is further north just a little layby. I have a few more pictures of scenery and can give you the route we taken up north if you fancy the drive sometime

That looks stunning. I have a couple of weeks holiday coming up that I had planned to use for moving flat but as I'm no longer moving, I was thinking of doing the North Coast 500 (or at least some of it) myself for a few days. Just not sure whether I'll enjoy it on my own.

Your route would be awesome if you don't mind sharing though.

At least you're good! People will come back in a couple of weeks.

I thought I had better video if it. I know ScoobyDoo was at the rolling road and can vouch for how great it sounds on full chat.

Here's just a crappy vid not under load but you get a rough idea.

Indeed I can. Really liked how it sounded

Here's the video from that day - courtesy of Bryan.

This was more or less the route we had, takes in most of the epic scenery without going right to the top as you need a good few extra days to do that. We started in Fife just down from perth and ended up in Glencoe so it's in reverse. We Done this over 2 nights camped outside Inverness at a site called Bunchrew (not recommended) We did some short drives down to drumnadrochit and a few other places as well.

My new car as of yesterday

Got a Cayman S last weekend to replace the MX-5:

Rybo89 · 17 Jul 2016 at 18:00

Very nice.

Hyburnate · 17 Jul 2016 at 20:13

Need to put "However decided to keep the MX-5 as they look awesome on the drive together" on the end of that

As much as it is, I am hoping there will be a GT86 next to the Cayman S next year.

I had to sell the MX-5 quickly, having the two side by side was already giving me some slight buyer's remorse.

[TW]Fox · 17 Jul 2016 at 21:16

Porsche looks nice but surprising move from an MX5, I'd have thought a Boxster S would be a better progression.

Rybo89 · 17 Jul 2016 at 21:38

Porsche's look better with a roof imo.

Beg your pardon, but why? Surely a Cayman does everything a GT86 does, but better?

Current driveway looks awesome btw
