Newtonmore is about an hour south of me. The worst part of the drive is from Perth northwards, when there is no dualler. Boring, long road with caravans, lorries and not many straight stretches to overtake.

The A9 north of Perth :( Where a caravan or lorry waits at the end of every duelly section :x

Aye, the most boring road in the UK. It's only saving grace is no cameras once you're about 10 miles North, but every dancer in his lorry spoils your fun

Just back, car is great! Although the 4ws light came on about 3 hours in. Need to sort that. Apart from that, well chuffed.

Car has a proximity alarm, beeps you to do one when you get close...not sure thats a good idea with passing drunkards :???:

Oh and the sex stopper is gone :)
Looking for a BB1, know of one for sale?
