a group of four that were obviously on a blat! (You can tell by the grouping, the type of car, the modified exhausts and the speed!).
Wasn't these 4 was it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-48092454Today seems to be Ferrari day. High performance cars with low performance drivers.

Ha... no idea. But I almost had a head on yesterday with a BM that was WAY too fast for a blind corner (I was stationary as he arrived as I'd seen him coming!). He ended up off the road.

We were stopped by a local policeman near Applecross who watched us drive down the pass where the oil platform is or was back in January. We were told that we drove better than the locals ie allowing traffic to pass at passing points. I asked the policeman how many offices patrol the west coast his response was three due to cut backs. Wow three officers to patrol such an area doesn’t seem an awful lot

24 of us did the route and a lot more over 3 days last weekend, it was absolutely epic!
800 miles in total, sometimes using several tiny back roads where we met no traffic whatsoever.
I saw you as you drove through Shieldaig.800 miles in total, sometimes using several tiny back roads where we met no traffic whatsoever.
I hope we didn’t disturb you too much!

Hi guys
There are a few of us thinking of doing the NC500 road trip and would like some useful tips
We are thinking of 2nd week of July and planning to cover the 500 miles over 3 days
Whats the weather like in July and how busy is July for tourism also the cars that we will be driving average 13-15 mpg lol
Whats the NC500 like for fuel stations also any good places with secure parking to stop over for the night
Thank you
Tony
