Took a few days at the beginning of the week to take a run around the country, some of which, im ashamed to say ive never seen, even though its in my own back yard, as such!

The general plan was a tour of the north of scotland, to last about 3/4 days, we never booked any accomodation in advance, so just winged it, found a travel inn/holiday inn etc each night

So, on monday morning 4 of us headed off in out trusty wagon for the next few days, a 2.5 V6 Omega Tourer, a proper piece of shit






Had a small breathing mod before we left, just for the crack


Unfortunately... the Omega Beast decided to shit itself and go into "limp home mode" within 5miles of leaving home Not so cool



We rekoned all was well, and it was just a sensor that had been unplugged, which meant the ecu or battery had to be disconnected for a while to let it reset itself.

So we plugged on, a few random snaps on the way to our first stop, Inverness, via aviemore on the A9.





On route, we passed a cracking little place, Carrbridge it was called, so we stopped off for some juice and a leg stretch.


So we spent a night in Inverness, not much in the way of pics due to the bevvy consumed, but it was a pretty decent night!

Next day, we set off for Aberdeen, deciding to take the scenic route, via Tomintoul (Highest village in the UK), Alford, and the Grampian Transport Museum.






AWESOME Senna Motorbike, not usually my thing, but this was stunning!




Cortina Rally car







Electric escort post van, strange wee thing





From there, we got into Aberdeen, a really nice place, nice buildings, nice people, BUT NO FUCKING ROOMS Apparently due to shift changes on the oil rigs?


On the plus side, we got full power back on the motor after leaving the ECU off over night.


Had to stay out at the Airport, due to a lack of rooms in the city centre, turned out pretty decent, short taxi journey into the town, again, a superb night out, but not many pics

Next day, we decided on Edinburgh for our next stop, so set off at a lesuirely pace down the country, stopping off at Knockhill race track for the afternoon, watching a ferrari, single seater and Leon CupraR on track.



IMMACULATE lancia in the car park.



WTF?


Note the No Plate









Then, into edinburger for the night, again, not many pics, but had another superb night out




Finally, the un avoidable happened, earlier in the trip, we had a bad power steering fluid leak, so topped it up with water () to get us bye, which worked pretty well... Until it was left for just too long, and decided to pack in, just as we were for heading home!


Final trip mileage was around 550, averaging 31mpg. £80 of fuel in total got us around, which wasnt too bad.



Highly reccomend anyone with a few spare days to do the same, cheap, cheerful, plenty to see and a good way to pass the time, really enjoyed it!
