Aww... that's cruel posting that. The scenery out of the window of PH HQ isn't quite so exciting

This is true but don't blame me. I only rented it...

As for the numptie: I nearly "photoshopped" him out. But I remember blasting past anyway - adds a little spice when you get to overtake something every few hours!

Tell us Don, where is the pic from? No let me guess, is it Southern Europe (alps)?? Bloody marvellous whatever... what cars are made for.

Errr...I don't think Don would be driving on this side of the road in Southern Europe, especially if a numpty in a Eurobox is coming ahead in the opposite direction...

IIRC the use of a Z3 indicates that it was New Zealand..

I've seen skies that in Scotland over the Christmas break, admittedly there would snow on the mountain tops - but rumour has it that the weather can also be nice in the summer as well......

Carzee, you had me worries for a moment there - Glen Coe is spelt like that !

I'm usually enjoying the scenery / roads too much and have never bothered stopping there; and I have been known to spell Scottish names wong.

You've got to admit - there is a straight which looks just like that, heading into the Glen just as it starts to narrow !

NZ looks like a top destination to me. Is it easy to fly drive ? How strict is the policing ? How expensive is NZ ?

Well, guys. It is in fact: New Zealand....South Island..earlier this year in February. Best driving roads I've ever been on. They have reasonable speed limits and, where I was out in Fiordland, I saw one cop car in 10 days. Yes. One.

If your all very, very good. I'll torture you with some more road pics tomorrow....
