Yes, great route Harry, I have done much that trip over a hundred times as I had relatives at Gairloch and often went up to Ullapool, but not since they died (old age). So my route is pretty much planned and will be kept secret until afterwards. I also plan a trip to our cottage in Croatia before the car is a month old, so will take in parts of Germany for sure, but avoiding Switzerland. The car needs to be well run in by then. Do I need gaffa tape in the boot? When I took a Lotus elite to Monaco many years ago and it snapped the suspension, then was rebuilt with the wrong bolts (for europa) specially sent from Paris. The agent in Norfolk said afterwards that I should have taken spare suspension bolts with me!!!
Also the wiper broke, (then we had a rainstorm) and the "local" Lotus agent in Marseilles had never seen a Lotus elite before!!! Then on the way home, the head gasket went, and at anything over 70mph blew all the water out.
