Popular Post Dougle_turbo Posted September 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2019 Apologies for being a little quiet on the forum but I've been out and about enjoying the car. A group of us recently got back from an amazing trip to Scotland, 1800 miles in total and 900 around Scotland. We had a great selection of cars, with 4 B7 RS4s, 991 Turbo, 981 Boxster, 987 Cayman S, R8 V10 plus, and a very nice Jaguar Project 8 along with a rental Merc that only lasted 1 day before being written off! Anyway I've attached a few photos below, can't wait to go back next year! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenfourate Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 VERY cool pics. Sounds epic ! I know a few who've done this.....i've not been so lucky as yet. How did yours - and you ! ? - handle the NC5 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle_turbo Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 It's an epic trip, we did the same last year (June) but travelled anticlockwise, this year we went clockwise. I was between cars last year but looking for a Cayman. I used the opportunity to rent a PDK 718 2.0 Cayman, that was enough to convince me that I definitely wanted a Cayman - the 718 really is a great car. We manage to squeeze the whole thing into 5 days - 1 day up to Edinburgh, 3 days around Scotland (very long days) then 1 day back. A couple from last year: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Buckley Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I did 500 trip a number of times about 40 years ago in an MGB when we lived South of Glasgow and my wife's best friend lived in Wick. i.e. Ullapool, Durness Tongue JoG. Inverness etc. Garages were few and far between, we rough camped and put up with the Midges because accommodation was sparse. I guess things have changed very little except the roads might be busier due to popularity. Are the roads entirely suitable for low slung cars? and how far in advance did you book accommodation? Expensive I guess for what it is Eddie E18CAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive I guess for what it is Eddie E18CAY The roads are excellent - no problems with low cars. On the whole the roads are pretty empty, especially when compared to even rural parts of Wales. The accommodation is good value in my opinion, although for a group our size I booked about 6 months in advance. We use a combination of hotels and BnB's to fit everyone in. It averages out at around £90 per man (double room inc breakfast). The Smoo Cave hotel is a great stop (near Durness), at Lochness we stay at the Loch ness Inn plus a couple of BnB's near by. In Edinburgh we stay at the Marriott (corporate rates so around £130 per night). Id anyone would like to know exactly what BnBs etc. drop me a message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
