BMW 335i....am i still welcome

Just about mate lol, but you get kudos for being a former Nissan man and member of nc500 club 

Welcome, best colour too....... first mod !?!, V1 rear spoiler, sets the Zed off perfectly 

Can personally vouch for how gorgeous this car is and it's condition after meeting Coldel on the NC500 trip a couple of years ago, stunning car and very well looked after by Col. Sad to read you're parting company with her mate. GLWTS, hope she goes to someone as enthusiastic as you were.

@Miss_Dani350z @Hrma are yous still in on this trip ?

So...... what we all coming in lads ?

Should the worst happen, my build budget will pay for many years of renting a lock up. That said there doesn’t seem to be a decent website for finding lockup and garages for rent???

Your council will have lockups and domestic garages for rent Stu, I used to rent a 2500f2 unit from mine for my business for 250 quid a month, steep for domestic purposes but the domestic garages they have for rent are only £50 A month but they are just average sized garages, great for just parking the car in but no good for doing any diy mechanics

That's handy meeting at Hermiston Gate 'only an hour and a wee bit for us to get there.

Like wise for me too mate as Im in the Borders now

Route plans and pit stops / photo shoots etc.

FRIDAY 24TH MAY: I'm going to do two meeting points this year, first one at 9.30am, Hermiston Gate, Krispy kreme Doughnuts, Edinburgh

www.krispykreme.co.uk/store/krispy-kreme-edinburgh

and the second in Perth Tesco store, 10.30-11.00ish, depending on traffic, Edinburgh Rd, Perth PH2 8DX

Friday will see us do Perth to Ord of Muir by Inverness, via the Cairngorms National Park, taking in the Spittal of Glenshee, one of the highest A roads in the UK. Hotel booked is the Ord Arms Hotel, £77.50  for double room and breakfast.

SATURDAY 25TH MAY:  From Muir of Ord its north via the A862 and A9 to Wick and onto John O'groats, then west along the A836 to Durness and then south down to Lochcarron, for the night in the Lochcarron Hotel. This will be a LONG  DAYS DRIVE, so be prepared for that. There's also no set route on the south bound way from Durness as there is lots of touristy stuff down that west coast to see, so you are free to decide which route you want to take from Durness if you want to peel off for the day and do your own thing. Hotel booked is the Lochcarron Hotel, £100.00 for double room with breakfast.

SUNDAY 26TH MAY:  Again lots of options for this days drive as it is right on the road to Applecross, which is a defo for me, but also close by is the Isle of Skye, which some people might want to do too. So from the Kyle of Lochalsh, heading south A87 and A82 to Fort William and our next Hotel. This is a short day, deliberately, as there is way to many options on this part to list or even plan for, so I will be leaving that up to each individual to decide for themselves. Hotel booked is the Premier Inn, Fort William. £107.00 for double room, breakfast is additional

MONDAY 27TH: Fort William and south on the A82 through Glen Coe, Rannoch Moor etc etc and homeward bound.

Just to reiterate again, the hotels above mentioned are where I have chosen to book into because they are big enough to accomodate us all if you book today / soon, may not be the cheapest but they are fairly priced. If you don't fancy them or need it to be cheaper then you'll need to do your own searching for accomodation. BUT again, as I'VE SAID BEFORE, DONT LEAVE IT TOO LATE OR YOU WILL EITHER NOT BE COMING BECAUSE YOU CANT GET ANYTHING BOOKED, OR YOU WILL END UP MILES AWAY FROM THOSE OF US THAT DO BOOK NOW / SOON.

Any questions just fire away  

Right folks, below is the hotels I've booked into for this trip. Its been a fekin nightmare trying to get suitable accomodation for us, everywhere is booking up very quickly so if you want in on this book NOW and worry about the route later. Im posting the route up today but its will take me time to map it all out and get it posted up, so if you're coming, get on the phone to the hotels today,........ you have been warned lol.

FRIDAY 24TH MAY - http://www.ordarmshotel.co.uk/ £77.50 per room including breakfast, Address: Great N Rd, Muir of Ord IV6 7XR  Phone: 01463 870286

SATURDAY 25TH MAY - www.lochcarronhotel.com Lochcarron Hotel Main Street Lochcarron, Ross-Shire, UK IV54 8YS  Phone: 01520 722 226 £100.00 per double room including breakfast

SUNDAY 26TH MAY - https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/scotland/highland/fort-william/fort-william.html?cid=GLBC_FORLOC £107.00 per room, no breakfast, but can be purchased on the day of leaving.

Route map coming later today, but were going anti-clockwise this year.

Hi guys,

 

As seen from the title I'm a new member from Edinburgh. Currently I'm driving Lexus IS200, but it's time for a change and will be buying a 350z. One thing that slightly worries me, however, is that I'm 190cm (6'3") and not sure how comfortable the Z would be. Is there anyone, similar height, who would be able to tell me how it is for them? 

 

Long shot, but I would really appreciate if there's anyone from the Edinburgh area or Glasgow who is willing to maybe meet up.

 

Thanks! 

Hi and welcome, I'm 6'3 / 6'4, there's plenty leg room for us lanky's Just make sure you buy a sunset Orange one as they're the fastest colour and roomiest of all the 350z colours
