Chris180's New GTi

This was before I saw Dales car.

Your P1 doesn't look bad. Just not as good.

P2 GTi kit is very nice imo. I'd only put an SRI splitter on if I'd damaged my GTi splitter / had lowered it so much I needed a bendy splitter.
 
You far from there!? Sure we'll be up another time (Chris180)

I'm one hour east of Inverness, so not that far from the road you would be taking to get to Applecross. Hope you had a good trip :)
 
Spent the wkend going up to Applecross (town up in the Highlands of about 300ppl) with mates to "camp". For those who don't know there is a epic driving road to get to Applecross but unfortunately the weather was shite so didn't see any amazing views or get to push the car properly on the route, though managed a pretty steady 50mph which was pretty fucking impressive given the conditions.

For some reason I can't post google map image of the route but if you care enough here it is.

I'll chuck up a 3min vid of a selection of the road later but here's some pics.

car and area/roads look awesome man

but chris are you one of those wet farts that sits on his brakes all the way down steepy twisty roads like that?! :lol:

or were you just driving energetically
 
LOL nah man, it's like a 10mile road with a combination of pissing rain and fog so having to break harder cause no way was driving the road slow, hairpins/blind corners and a lorry deciding to come up the road and almost causing a pile upl, everyone's were steaming but mine weren't that bad compared to others, my mates brakes on his shitty focus gave up going up the road yesterday and also when coming down this morning lol

Small vid of going up the road yesterday

What a shame you got such crappy weather mate, it's an epic road if you're lucky enough to find it dry. It's never really a fast one, but it is bloody interesting ! If it makes you feel any better, that's exactly how it was when I last went on the m'bike :rolleyes:
 
BOOM
