Just back home, the usual fantastic DDK standard of cars, nonsense and laid back acceptance of all - whether they are a crazy dutchman in a speedster on speed, or a man, apparently called Pam, in a Boxster.

Thanks Brendan and Mike you lovely chaps. I thoroughly enjoyed those exquisite roads around all those, err, pointy things.

Had a box office seat watching Sladey and the 914s weave in and out of traffic on road to Eilean Donan. We were in the black XC90 trying to stay out of the way! On our way to Skye. Looked fantastic fun. Weather great too. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

See any of the fancy cars on the way down the road peter? We overlapped with a supercar meet at Mallaig. Explains the Pagani and then the 991 Turbo S I saw at Spean Bridge..
