Probably too late - but whatever you do, avoid the A9 from perth to inverness...............a horrible horrible road. thumbsdown And watch out for tourists who are concentrating more on the scenery than the road thumbsdown

There are some great roads up in the Highlands but watch out for deer. We go to Scotland regularly but normally fly as I cannot face a 12 hour drive in the VX !!

Why're you going to Scotland Mark? (Why's he going to Scotland YorB? You've got your finger on the pulse...do tell!) I'm considering driving to Aberdeen you see this weekend. Think it'll be far easier to fly/train though, don't you?

Oh yeah?! I sense a bit of Brent-tastic "Free love on the Freelove freeway" coming on...

Posted Image

"Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah....
She’s broken down on freeway nine.
I take a look and her engine’s started,
I leave her purring and I roll on by....bye bye"


All together now...

"Free love on the free love freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone"...

Oh-ho-ho, somebody stop me! :lol:

Ironically my cat just came in from outside, miaowing her head off just as I was reading your post! I hate ebay. I do not have the personality to deal with their nonsense, or that of punters who just love to screw you about. Now the doorcards buyer has done a runner :angry: Edit: apologies Mark for trashing your thread :blush:

Turns out, after ages doing a write up for ebay, that my paypal account had been closed because of fraudulent acitivity carried out by someone else in my name! That's the message that paypal shot up on the screen anyhow. I've no information to suggest it but the knock on effect was that i couldn't list because i'm an inexperienced ebayer and they must have paypal accounts to sell! d'oH!

Anyway, why is Mark going to Scotland? Seems a bloody long way to drive.
