A spin in the Trossachs
Well, the folks were driving from Edinburgh over to the West Coast today, so I decided to tail them part way then go for a proper drive around the West for a while myself!
Route was basically Edinburgh -> Stirling -> Crianlarich -> Loch Lomond -> Glasgow -> home.
There are some properly nice roads in the Trossachs. I have little in the way of photos because I was having so much fun - but very few of you guys here have seen my car at all, and probably no one recently! The photos are all iPhone jobs so some of them are a bit "censored"... Here goes:
And the last, IMO best one... Showing off my lovely new red recaros!
PS - only one MR2 to be seen today - a black MK3 who beeped, but I think it was possibly at the motorcyclist overtaking rather dangerously, more than it was to me!

Car is looking good, that spoiler suits it perfectly
Not taking pictures cause you were enjoying yourself too much is the way it's meant to be

Re: A spin in the Trossachs
Thanks!
The bootlid is really "censored" me off the more I buy other parts, though. That and the crack in the splitter. And the N/A engine lid. And I might take off the G-Limited just because it's a retarded name. We'll see! I am mostly happy with it, however. It's going V6 some day but I suspect it'll be a ways away.

Looks good, particularly the spoiler.
Brings back memories up the west coast, some great roads, so long as the caravan crew aren't around

And yes, definitely great roads around all those lochs, Lubnaig as well. Not too many caravans on this occasion!

Cracking spoiler, that looks great! Is it a genuine carbon blade?

Yep. The legs are CF as well, but I wanted them white and thought it would take much too long to find fibreglass ones... So I just got the CF painted haha! Felt a bit wrong at the time but it looks great
