I'm so gutted I'm having to go to work when this meet is happening.

Looking at the road surface there few more inches over and you would belly the car out.

It is indeed David, the roads were not that busy today, and as the speed limiter is at a Conference in Paris we were able to test Connor's new camera on a dash down from Dalmally to Inverary. Best watched in 1080p apparently (that'll be your bif telly Jim)

yeah some very interesting examples of road design up there, this one was a bit of a surprise, note the kerb suddenly appearing which narrows the gap between the truck, still we made it with only a minor wobble

Gutted as it looks like it will be a cracker and commitments mean I can't make it

Enjoy

I guess its not unusual. Wait until the Annual Meet attendees come up the A82 by Loch Lomond. I will ensure all are warned. Dont want people arriving minus wing mirrors or with a great scrape down the side. The Lochs and Glens coaches dont take prisoners and the collapsing walls are a hazard all by themselves.
