NC500 in the CSL
Well, like a few others of late, I got fed up looking at the CSL in the garage and thought a good run was long overdue. A few guys from work were organising the NC500 http://www.northcoast500.com/ so thought it would be an ideal opportunity to blow the cobwebs away and my-ph-my I've glad I did. (Apologies in advance, can't use Photobucket at work)
First up was new wheels and tyres... Team Dynamic 1.2's shed in 18' Pirelli PZero Trofeo R's, which are an awesome alternative to Cups. IMG_1377.jpg IMG_1378.jpg The this happened... IMG_1398.jpg IMG_1400.jpg Quick stop at the local BP for a fill of the good stuff, next stop Inverness. Well, Larne - Cairnryan then Inverness strictly speaking IMG_1436.jpg

Quick photo opportunity at Larne before boarding the ferry.
IMG_1440.jpg Stop off at Turnberry on the way up the West Coast. IMG_1466.jpg Shaping up the Baelach na Ba towards Applecross, what a road! IMG_1564.jpg Quick stop off at Clashnessie bay IMG_1572.jpg Big Highland Cow somewhere... IMG_1487.jpg

Another one at Clashnessie Bay, unreal stop.
IMG_1574.jpg Obligatory stop at John O'Groats IMG_1566.jpg Stop at Helmsdale for a cup of tea with a work colleague and photo op. IMG_1546.jpg Outside an old haunt of mine in Falkirk on Saturday night, it would have been rude not to. IMG_1589.jpg Very early start Sunday morning to catch the ferry back to Larne. IMG_1598.jpg

Home safe, with an additional 1195 miles on her and a few more stonechips. Daughter helping me store her for a few weeks while I head offshore.
IMG_1610.jpg Amazing run guys and amazing scenery. We had one wet day but really good weather the other 3 so for Scotland not too bad at all. Very tiring squeezing it into 4 days and if I was to do it again I'd take the 5-6 days at it, clockwise from Inverness round to Thurso and turnaround back to Inverness, the roads from Thurso clockwise to Inverness aren't that good in comparison to the one's on the West coast. If you've a free week during the summer, get it done. As for the company I was in, all work colleagues in various forms of machinery. Guy on a Yamaha Fazer, another lad 3 up in a V6 Jag XF, one guy in the WRX and another in the Orange Fastra, Saab Turbo Engine, it was seriously quick and I'm sure we all had equal amounts of fun but it was me who fell back in love with the CSL, just an amazing bit of kit but I needed the AP's on more than one occasion. Sorry about the way the thread is put together, best I can do.
