Cabrio in Scotland in April

Just got back from doing 1200+ miles from a trip to scotland in a floppy top.

First surprize was the weather was sunny and perfectly fine to take the roof down. Although I did relent one day when the kids moaned it was really cold when we got inland and we were just at the snbw line. Was still bright mind you, will admit it was a tad cold. Damn far warmer/brighter than manchester today for sure.

Second  surprize the roads and lack of other traffic, absolute joy to drive on and mostly on your own.

Thirdly 1200+ miles covered without a hitch, which for a car that gets used on warm summer days only is fantastic. Hardly a surprize to those that use theirs on a daily baisis. But a solid thumbs up to german reliability and showed the neighbours who thought we were brave/daft going north of the lakes in a car thats 20 years old.

  

sounds like you had a good time good old mk1

Fab, well done for using it as intended.

Looks like good weather, is that the hotel you stayed in? and glad your mk1 stuck two fingers up to the doubters  :mrgreen:

Sort of Gammy, self catering apartment in that building.

can truely recommend to anyone, but be prepared for very remote.

Doubt on a mk1, shame on you. I'm a everyday runner but once you get ye old mk1 into running order the they're a breeze!

Taken mine from the big smoke to Newcastle, Yorkshire, all over Wales and to Cornwall and back many a time in the last year.

Mk1's just want to be driven (especially the ones with an extra big sunroof) !!   

Same here bud, but i will be doing 2,200 miles wihtin the 6 days bud, obviously with breaks

Not that it will be needed.
