.. blatting round Scotland with some friends.. old and new, in cars mostly "Inspired by the Lotus 7".




Met up on Monday morning outside the riverside transport museum in Glasgow.



.. to find one of the clan has a new toy... LS1 engined RX-7 

He kept that quiet.





.. saw some nice places ...



Stayed at some nice hotels.. Notice the magnetic effect of that RX7's underbonnet porn.



Drove on some lovely roads, sadly too busy shuffling the steering from lock to lock to take any pictures of that.

2,000 miles covered (500 of them yesterday afternoon on the way home). Car didn't miss a beat. Found the rev limiter.. er.. once or twice.  I wonder if the bottom end will take more than the current 7400?

The entire distance was achieved without the use of the (not very waterproof) soft top, too.

It was nicer than felicity kendal's bottom. Engine looked like it had been there since it left the factory. No bodges to make it fit. Really professional looking conversion and apparently it handles perfectly and goes like stink, as you'd expect. Oh, made the right noises too.

I have serious doubts about your Kev if you prefer an engine to Felicitiy's derrier ......

Can you all come to Andalucia next year please? No need for a soft top but bring some sun tan cream for your bonce.

Hmm. I haven't checked since she was in "the good life" I suppose it might have sagged a bit by now.

Sounds like an excellent idea to me. Some of the guys did do a ferry down to Bilbau and a blat up through the mountains, into France to finish at Le Mans a year or two back.

Next tour will be Northern Ireland in May, though.

A friend of mine is planning on doing this next year, in a similar sort of vein: http://goo.gl/maps/IRL1U


Looks like a great time was had by all on your trip mind - and the LS RX... gorgeous.

That is more like it. I could provide a couple of suggestions for stunning drivers road/scenery diversions between Seville and Guadix but it would add another day to the itinery! The road over the Pyrennees from Pau is good. He might also want to take in a scenic route diversion in the Picos de Europa (in the North )
