1347 miles, 24.6 hours behind the wheel, a significant amount of beer tokens handed over and worth every minute, mile and beer token. David, Brian and Jim (Conner too) that was the most enjoyable event in a stunning location with a great bunch of people and of course the cars. Thanks for all your efforts and roll on next year.
Angela an I stayed the Sunday and went back to St Conan's and wandared up to the castle followed by a drive up to the Bridge of Orky by the back road. This event has set a new bench mark and it was great to see so many new faces and families. CtL

Stephen , great work, I so enjoyed watching that video, probably as much as the drive because I could see the scenery a lot more.
Thank You ![]() |

Yeah, Whisky tasting was a great end to the official part of the evening before ending up in the pub and staying there till 2:35am
![]() Here are just the video clips which I managed to record from the driver seat. Not the best quality as lots of shaking My Android phone started to playing up on the way to SCO so some videos have no sound, plus in 2 or 3 of them music was really really really quiet but on the actual clips it sound really loud, not sure if its because I was holiding phone just above front speakers ![]() I just uploaded the lot, no video editing or video check Some nice views, a moment when Van drivers shows us how to overtake ![]() Moment when famous Vauxhall lady moved off to let the 8 through, bridge Soundcheck ![]() Most videos can have quality changed to 1020p HD quality Don't know why some are 320p and so poor quality if all recorded by the same camera ![]() Link to all videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZF...XvWGoQg/videos

A Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé stopped off in Edinburgh on Sunday 8 June as part of an epic 3,000 mile journey from Miami to Ibiza that promises to raise a six-figure sum for charity. Rolls-Royce owner, Garreth Wood, founder of the Edinburgh-based Speratus Group, his wife Nicola and school friend William Rhind are taking part in the Gumball 3000 Rally, a star-studded event that sees an array of the world’s most exotic, luxurious and often outlandishly decorated cars cover remarkable distances in just seven days. Mr and Mrs Wood have taken the opportunity to raise vital funds and awareness for ‘When You Wish Upon a Star’, a charity that has granted the wishes of over 14,500 children suffering from life threatening illnesses since it was founded in 1990. Throughout their journey they will perform 50 Random Acts of Kindness with Garreth’s company promising to donate £2,000 for every act, the Gumball Foundation will then match the money raised. Every penny of the £200,000 is committed to sending a group of children and their helpers on a journey to Lapland to meet Father Christmas. In preparation for the rally, the couple have commissioned a specialist wrapping company to decorate the car in a red chrome and black velvet finish complete with a Scottish flag motif on the boot. “It’s a great honour to support ‘When you wish upon a Star’. This trip to Lapland promises to create magical memories for children and families dealing with life threatening illnesses,” said Garreth Wood, owner of the ‘Velvet Phantom’. “This journey presents an incredible opportunity to raise vital funds for such a worthy cause. It’s also important to raise awareness; this is why we chose a temporary wrap for the car that is sure to wow the crowds wherever we go! We are incredibly grateful to the Gumball Foundation for agreeing to match our donation allowing us to double the number of children we can take to Lapland at the end of the year.” ![]() ![]() ![]()

Looks like I missed out on a great weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't get from Skye to Dundee in time to pick up the S8 and join you. We did drive through the Great Glen and Tyndrum on the Sunday in the R8 but did not see any A8s or S8s for the whole journey!
Good to see the weather held up as well!
