love the description pete and the photo's look amazing :)
my mom lives in inverness so i might pop up that way at some point :) just for a laugh :)
sounds like you've found the weakness in the package in that you gotta have some serious muscles at times lol :)
take care and make sure that above all else you enjoy yourself :)
Some the roads up here were made for these cars (and bikes) and if you bring it up here feel free to drop me a line.
last time i was up that way i was giving my last scooby wagon some serious abuse lol :) and it was loving it :)
love the roads out the back of elgin, inverness and then out through bunchrew and up towards ullapool they are so well macced - so flat, no kinks cambers in the right places, it just encourages you to throw your car around :):):)
The wonderful thing about the roads out there is that they suffer with so little traffic that the surface stays pristine - as long as it was laid properly and maintained. You should try the road to Loch Muick: it's single track but because it's a dead end and because it runs up the open valley, you can see for a mile or so ahead and know if there is any other traffic coming your way. Sheep & deer may still wander down, as I found out on my bike, but otherwise the worst thing to contend with is sand/gravel. It's a great test road.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
That's over a year since I got the MR2 and almost a year since I last did any work on it, and it's currently sitting next to the house looking a little worse for wear after a winter of neglect. I still don't have my garage and we're heading into summer fast, but with at least one essential job that needs finishing, several jobs that I'd prefer to have done before going back on the road in ernest, and a whole raft of jobs that I want to do to get her up to standard.
Am I the only person who thinks the sensible option is to sell her on to somebody with the time to do the project work, and buy myself a new one with everything sorted for the summer? I know I'd feel like a heel for not finishing the work, but the other part of me knows I'd then be able to enjoy one for the summer.
Of course, the really sensible option is to buy a new one that needs no work and keep the existing one ready to be the winter project car...
