Glasgow Mafia on Tour
 

Can anyone guess where we were today?

+++

A few more clues from the route

Is it Scotland? :D


Great photos +++

Looks like you had better weather up there this weekend than we had.

French Renaissance architecture, must be Dunrobin Castle +++

Can you please park Brian's car in the middle for all future pictures so as not to upset my OCD (chrome grille - black grille - chrome grille) :D

Sutherland! A fair trek from Glasgow, let alone the Vale of Belvoir!

Och....
 

Lovely photos, and I'm really sorry that I couldn't join you all on this trip - watching Celtic demolish Rangers at Parkhead yesterday was probably just as much fun, but working at clients today the Midlands just isn't at all! :-(

Enjoy - and more pictures please...

My first thought on seeing that first photo along with the title of the thread was:

'Out casing a joint somewhere'

Couldn't be more appropriate. +++

Coincidentally I had a delivery this very day direct from Sutherland!
(Though from the opposite coast - Lochinver to be precise)

Nc500

Well done that man+++

Looking over Lochinver harbour as I type+++

Excellent, we love it round there. +++ Are you in the Gulag?

Go into Highland Stoneware tomorrow and say hello and thank you to Tracey from me for our special order mugs that arrived today (original 1974 design)!

Then buy something nice from them.

Long way from Golspie...

Sounds like an NC500 run. ;)

Forgot to ask, are you planning to go along the "Wee Mad Road" south from Lochinver along the coast towards Achiltibuie?
I can confirm that it is totally passable in an S8, having done it a few times. :eek:

More photos
 

Yes, we’re doing the North Coast 500. Here are some more photos from today’s section of the trip

Yeah in the Gulag:D

Great photos. +++ Still parking in the wrong order (for Neil) at Kylesku I note. :tuttut:

Yeah need to sort that tomorrow +++

Glorious looking weather you're having... and the cars look nice as well.

It's a fantastic bit of coastline. Will you be going over the pass at Applecross?

Oh, I do hope so - some fantastic driving and photo opportunities from that route...+++

We’re now at Applecross -we’re doing the pass tomorrow. Weather not so good today, but here are a few more piccies from today’s leg
Sorry about the duplicate photo - can’t seem to work out how to delete it!
Neil, please note our efforts to comply with your OCD!

Good stuff, just watch out for the motorhomes, had some interesting experiences squeezing the eight past the ones I met going over the pass.

Totally worth it though.

Thanks for the support!! :D
Awesome pics chaps keep them up and have fun, definitely a route that I want to do myself one day soon +++

Done the route numerous times long before it was named the NC500, the roads were peaceful, quiet and enjoyable back then but today's traffic on single tracks with passing places isn't much fun. Wouldn't recommend the route during the peak summer season

Photos from the last day on the NC 500
 

Mixed weather today, but it was dry most of the time

Link to some more pics, giant pothole claimed one of my front wheels:tuttut:

And I left my locking wheel nut key after changing the wheel..huge thanks to Maria (A8 Parts)yet again for saving the day as she worked out from a picture which one I needed+++

Cracking scenery. Really liked the area in image 671. There are so many possibilities for photos at that one spot.

Three of my favourites from the trip.

First two are going to make Neil's teeth itch again:ROFL:

Good job I didnt post this one then!

For some reason, the moment I saw this photo ...

Attachment 18741


I immediately thought of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx0yCo9Rv8k

I did think before we left that we ought to have dressed the part 😀

Love it. Coupling over Friends every time +++

:eek::eek2::hammer:

Maybe next time? The Glagow Mafia in full formal dress?

- as Reservoir Dogs characters, maybe ? ;)
