After a heavy night of alcohol abuse on Saturday night, we were greeted with a beautiful sunny Sunday.
It seemed only fair that we got together and went for a drive, sooner than waste the day sat drinking more......
So after a McDonalds and a shower, so we were legally allowed to drive, we met up.
I was in my Nova (E16SE), my mate had a 205 1.9 GTi (fully rebuilt engine - P+P'd head and camshaft of some sort) which he has just got for a runabout, and another mate had a 180bhp Exige TB'd 1800vvc MG/Rover ZR. A bit of a mixed bag, but turned out nice.
Living in the South West of Scotland, one of the many roads round here which gets the nod is the 'Dalveen Pass' (Google it;)). Its is quite possibly one of THE best roads in this region. Winding road, with 90% good tarmac, and although its quite busy at times, its only usually bikers who know the road, hence tramping on a bit:D)
I would liked to have taken more photos, but i got carried away with the task of stig-like driving... Still, i got a few ;)
Have a look see folks, gimme some feedback (I didnt bring my tripod unfortunately:roll:).
