The kennel owner authorised release of our cars on the same day so it’d have been rude not to stretch their legs on a small 300 mile jaunt. We decided on the classic route of Glenshee > Old Military Road > Spean Bridge > [Redacted Road] > Glencoe > Home.
Ive just had a 2Bular Road System fitted to mine, so it was an ideal opportunity to run it in. Holy moly does it sounds amazing. Quite a bit louder, much bassier and absolutely loves to pop, bang and gurgle on the over run. Pootling through Edinburgh resulted in more than a few swivelled heads to see what was making the racket.
I find that one way to avoid Mik from hassling you for e-starts and fly-by vids is to actually have him take them.
Here he is teaching mine to chase the ball:
and come to heel:
Still a bit of work to do on that I reckon.
Roads were predictably outstanding and even though the weather was scorching, we didn’t seem to get held up too much by traffic. That is, apart from some dick in an Audi who had clearly taken inspiration from their latest clown driving school adverts. Similarly, I couldn’t resist embarrassing a MK3 Focus RS driver who clearly didn’t know how corners worked.
I also did my bit for promoting road safety, as if Mik didn’t have visibility of my car if we’d been strung out slightly, he could simply drop the window and listen for when it was safe to overtake as he’d hear me go.
All in all a cracking day and both cars were very good boys.
I am assuming the driver was getting some verbalz from the passenger...
