heading up the side of Loch Ness to Inverness for our hols

why stop there? come on over to the sunny western isles  

I've done Lands End to Orkney in a Morris Minor Great trip!

[jerry]

How long did that take!! assume you had a bit more than the odd break. We did Gorleston (nr gt yarmouth) up to Fort William the other year, hired a cottage right on the edge of Loch Ness, had a brilliant couple of weeks touring around. Took the scenic way rather than the motorway in the " bus "but took us 9 hours inc stops !!Still, we'd certainly hliday in Scotland again.,

(As normal, little discussion from ole big ears and the rest of the panel
---definite bias still on motd---but who cares, we WON  -or have I mentioned that before?)

Might be seen as lane hogging but this was still well after the "get in lane " sign so I was in the correct lane and doing 70 in a 70
limit. Cant win here can I?.

Not if your in the wrong lane at the wrong time, mon ami!!  

Think a course of driving lessons may be the order of the day :-?

I'v been thinking about this one....dangerous I know but.......

Being in the forces, personal security is always on my mind and if I had someone drive right on my arse like that I would prob let them pass.  If that didn't work and they stayed behind me I would prob start to think I had a problem and god knows what I would do....

.....scary huh?

How long did that take!!

10 days but that included 2 days on the island, did home to LE in 1 go, 4 youth hostels going up (scenic route, hardley any motorway) and home in 1 go (just over 13 hours)

If you were anything like me, by the end of it the phrase "numb bum " was probably an understatement!

Saying f*** all as my daughter's boy friend has recently signed the dooted line. On my various encounters with the Boyz in Blue I've met some decent lads and some 4r$eholes!

SWMBO & I were at John O'Groats the other year and I spotted a Morris Minor (in running restoration) on a car park, didn't think much of it. Then shortly afterwards spotted another  :-/
Then down the end of the road spotted yet another ... drop head .... so had to ask why I'd seen 3 Moggy Minors in such a small place. they were on their anula Joggle Run http://www.morrisminoroc.co.uk/index.php?page=371
JOG to Lands End in 24 hours!!!!!!

I have very fond memories of the morris minor, remember my grandad used to have one years and years ago and a mate at uni had a lovely open topped one. Dont know if shes still got it but that was like mint , worth a few bob now maybe,

I drive passed one every day to & from work on the 'forcourt' of a garage/workshop. It was sheeted up about a year back after being on fire.

So knowing police officers break the law a bit in their own time , i would just prefer the points, without the lecture. It aint the punishment really that would break me off , it would be the lecture on how to drive , when its plain to see in their own time they NEVER stick to 30/60/70 etc

I was arrested once on suspicion of petrol theft (my numberplate had been cloned) and in the car the officer waited until the speed camera had gone past and floored it to 70 in a 60 zone. I challeneged him and was told in an angry face "be quiet"

Double Standards!

They wouldn't be able to catch anyone doing 30/60/70 etc
