You'll have to get really pissed tonight. It'll help with the nervousness.

I found a photo on my phone from the other day. It turned out rather well indeed.

I went exploring yesterday. I'll have proper broadband in the flat in the next couple of days.

I love that part of the world. You’re helping me to accept 147s after developing a bit of an irrational hatred of them after living next door to a Karen (by name and character, but was the spitting image of Myra hindley) that had a black one

Not only that, it's a Glasgow plate so it's from the right bit of Jockistan.

This morning I went for a walk around Devilla forest with dome off of AS.

It was a long walk, then I hung around at his house for a bit, and headed off in search of lunch. He recommended while I was in the area that I go around the coast roads and have a look at Longannet power station, thus some wanky photos:

In the first photo, it's remarkable just how far out the rear wheels sit. They really pushed the wheels way out to the corners on this car, and it shows in the handling.

Back up in Aberdeenshire for the weekend, and took the fun route on Friday evening.

Yesterday I noticed something underneath the car, the left handbrake cable has drooped slightly due to its clip coming away from the body.

That shall be filed under ignore for now but keep an eye on...

Now that's a fun road, my favourite bit is the southern end with all the elevation changes & tight bends. It's a real challenge.
