... Docs house is actually a house built by the Gamble family (of Procter and Gamble fame) 

Which might suggest the 911 belongs to one of them too. I doubt just anyone is allowed on the path.

Love BTTF, I did a little homage to the extra terrestrial scene in one of my episodes

Weight saving?

Increased ventilation?

[CarBuff]

Tsk.  If the brakes had been wearing more evenly, the rotor would have disappeared...

How many laps of Silverstone did you do @Bibs?

[Bravo73]

It’s like the wild, wild west up there. 

[C8RKH]

Except Knockhill is in the east. Just saying.... 

 

[Bravo73]

The ‘wild, wild east’ doesn’t have the same connotations, I’m afraid.

 

(If you’re wondering what those connotations might be, you can start off with: lawless, full of cowboys, no enforcement etc etc).

Six of us on a very wet Saturday run the last weekend. Time to go into hibernate until Spring...

1 x Evora, 2 x Elise, 2 x Exige and 1 x Esprit S3

Good turnout for our Sunday LEGS run and a pose in front of the new Queensferry Crossing.

I like Henry Catchpole's videos, especially when he takes something interesting up one of my favourite roads. And this one has a poignant ending.

 

[GTK]

That was lovely!

[C8RKH]

Thanks @hedgerley that was brilliant.

@Al. got my Dukes Pass cherry so to speak when he first took me up and round it. Still remember the looks our two red Evora's got in tandem from the locals and tourists.

I just love living up here within those roads and open spaces. If God himself had, like me, an Evora and a VX220 this is where he would live and play for sure.

Damn!  (Great video though)

That means everybody will now head to the Dukes Pass in their flocks to drive the damn thing and another secret road will become too busy, just like the NC 500.  One of my favourite areas to drive only being 10 miles away but these days the biggest issue is the number of people wearing lycra who hear you coming and have plenty of time to set them selves up to be a mobile road block, or indignant, or both.  Best not done in high season as too many buses now taking it as well.  

If doing it I prefer the south to north direction as it starts with a series of uphill hairpins at Aberfoyle.  Start wiith some adrenaline at Go-Ape at Aberfoyle if you feel brave and don't mind heights as it starts and finishes with the longest zip wires in the UK over a valley   Back in the car you can then come down the other side and either nip along to the cafe at Loch Katerine or just head along  Loch Venechar to the E and back onto the main road.  At Kilmahog turn left onto the A84 and drive up past Loch Lubnaig which is a great flowing drive but beware of every sort of speed trap on that road as so may motorbikes use it and kill themselves annually.  When you get to Balquhidder station/Kingshouse Hotel that is where you come off for Balquhidder and towards Loch Voil and that church.  

Enjoy.
