The missus has banned Scotland from our holiday list after being eaten alive by midges on our Fiat Panda trip to Skye years ago.
So looks like it'll be The Philippines and a hired jeepney again unfortunately.

I'm meeting my mates Lars and Anders in Copenhagen and then driving to Bosnia to catch up with some of our old buddies that we met there.

We'll finish off the tour with a weekend at the Croatian coast.

Here's a photo of my old Exige near Mostar in Bosnia in 2005. God, I miss that car... mind you, couldn't get in or out of the bugger, so that's why it went!

Yes I got map and the idea from the Circuitdays webb site,but I don't want to pay there £500!!! per person charge for doing it,so it would be a £1000 for the two of us,+£250 fuel+spending money,it would make it a expensive 3 days.
I think,it true locost fashion,and being a tight ass,I can do it all for around £500 including fuel

Yes, a mate of mine also said the same thing,go upto john o groats,then come down the west coast for the best roads,a shame not too realy after going all the way up to Inverness,but I think I would struggle a bit time wise in the 3/4 days to fit all that in,and also already going to be doing over a 1000 miles,in a 5 litre v8 V power is at £1.26 a litre now,god knows what its going to be in July

I would like to god up to the highlands with the GTS at some point. Whether it be this year though I dont know.

The first long trip will be Stoneleigh for me this year.

I have a couple of weeks of holiday to book off work yet, dont know what to do with them though.
