Just thought I'd drop a message to say hi!

Had my Rallye for 10 months now, but due to working abroad, fixing it etc, only just got round to saying hello.

Here's a pic up in the highlands of Scotland from about March:



Really enjoying the car when it's running!

Great fun on the road, and had a great trackday at Knockhill till a gear rod fell off and I had be towed back to the pits!

Now sporting a mocal oil cooler and Ferodo DS2500 pads, so I've got a 20 minute taster session booked at brands next Monday to see how it all fits together now

Been using the forum for a while now for info, really helpful place!

Yeh Scotland's lovely.

Some amazing roads up there too!

Found a few more pix if these links work:






And yes, I know it needs a good clean!

Good question, and as someone who actually lives in Scotland, you'll probably let me know it's not actually the highlands!

I'm pretty sure the first one is Loch Lubnaig a bit NE of Stirling.

The second lot were around Rannoch Moor/Glen Coe area, but not sure exactly where.

There was a feature in Performance Car magazine a few years ago about Britain's best driving roads, so I was following the Scotland route. Might even have the pages somewhere I could scan in.

I'm hoping to be back up in Scotland for a bit next year, so hoping to get even further north. Stunning scenery up there!
