Typically when you think of road trip extravaganzas, it's those journeys through Europe or across America, exotice and exclusive locations with the cars to match. The most recent PH road trip extravaganza was in Scotland. With an MX-5. It rained a bit too.
But the North Coast 500 is a simply stunning driving tour, one you must experience if at all possible. The location may not be that glamorous but the driving more than makes up for it. This video will show just how spectacular the most remote parts of Scotland are, albeit briefly as the 24-hour window was soon used up... Finally, for the verdict on how the MX-5 fared on the NC500, see our twin-test with the Toyota GT86.
