Hi Guys, could someone please pm me a nice picture of our Highland Drive line up outside the Morefield. Ideally in jpeg format

Thanks in advance

4 weeks today :-)

I thought I had it all planned out,enough for my new greddy intercooler,bov and some bits and bobs to tidy the engine bay. Then last week had to buy a pair of top mounts for the front,arb bushes and now my downpipe is cracked! I'm still buying the intercooler tho,we will just need to starve until the 19th and live with no heating and hot water

Its getting close now - only 3 weeks to go cars ready to go, and Viking outfit all sorted here's hoping the weather improves.

Just a wee reminder to folks new to the Highland drive. Remember to pack your walkie talkie. These are invaluable for keeping in touch with the pack

I don't have a walkie talkie,does everyone else have one?

Pretty much. Its very handy when you are trying to keep track on 14 Mr2's

The banter is good and its a great way of warning folks of hazzards. Last year we were in the middle of nowhere on a single track road and we came upon a sponsored cycle. Boy, did these guys think they owned the road. They wouldn't let anyone past and the passing places were few and far between. The banter on the radios was hilarious

Get one Glen, they are pretty cheap to buy but in my opinion, worth it

You can use one of mine

Nope. I've done 3 of these trips and never used one. Hasn't been a problem.

Apart from when Tony sails straight past the turn like last year

They're handy to have if the group gets spread out, I think Tony believes they're witchcraft
