| Re: Great drives ?
Back in the early nineties, my friend Neil and I drove my Dax Cobra from John O Groats to Lands End non stop. This would be the longest trip you can do in the Uk without zig zagging or going round in circles. It took a measly 17 hours and 863 miles. To make it more exciting the clutch had failed just as we arrived in John O Groats before we had even started the main event!
Highlights included a chase all the lenght of Loch Ness with a Jaguar, then blasting through Glencoe and Loch Lomond. The narrow lanes of Cornwall at 3 am were also very cool. Apologies to all in the sleepy villages who we might have woken up!
Lowlights included rush hour traffic jams on the Glasgow orbital motorway (remember no clutch)and losing my favourite baseball cap on the M6 as we drafted out from behind a lorry.
Ears were ringing for three days afterwards and it must have taken as long to get all the bugs and road grease out of my hair!
Top fun.
