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 :laughing

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 :th:

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

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 :laughing

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

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 :laughing

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

The frog was a homing pigeon in his previous life ;)

He can drop off the radar only to appear on your tail 5 minutes from base. He's a one of :laughing
