Went for a blast today
Today we had the lanes through the fields of Ayrshire and its coastline as our own private racetrack; the S as usual continuing to impress with its grip levels after 2 years of ownership. We had no idea where we were going, and as a result came across some fantastically challenging roads, off the beaten track.
I'll let the pics tell you how nice it was.
Finally a pic of me not naked or drunk (also posted in the what do we look like thread)

I was at Dunure a few years back.
Did you roll up the hill?

All the back roads in between I was going too fast to take pics, some mind blowing tarmac on my own back yard that I never bothered going to explore.

Gaz (or for the benefit of those who don't know (I expect you do )); Steven is refering to the magical properties of the Electric Brae near Dunure.
It is a popular spot due to it's gravity defying illusory optical properties.
Basically it looks like you are going uphill when in fact you are going downhill....!
I have to say though that I have had this experience on a lot of Scottish roads

Looks like it was a great drive. And no radar cameras.
I was stationed in the UK for 4 years and I sure do miss it. Every time I get to London (about once a year) I feel like I'm back home.

)); Steven is refering to the magical properties of the Electric Brae near Dunure.The tourists all do 2mph along it to try out the phenomonon, but I prefer to hammer past them all. I must look like I'm doing 200mph when they're only doing single figures.
