Cool coincidence
So I took a day off for some naughty Highland time with some driving buddies.
I am wearing my new C1000 Typhoon Cockpit Edition this week for the first time - after purchasing it in the sales it was put away til my birthday.
As I came back down through Glencoe - trying not to get distracted by the stunning scenery - I hear a noise and initially think there is a problem with my car. .
But then I spot the source - an FGR4 Typhoon rolled over with the Cockpit facing me - scything through the valley at low level closely followed by a second.
Was really chuffed will not forget that image in a hurry

Great photo of loch and hills - and that Lotus in white is stunning

Re: Cool coincidence
What a great story !
I have nice memories of Tornadoes buzzing the hills when I was in Scotland on holiday years ago.
Lovely Lotus by the way

Little adventures often throw up these surprises that make for memorable moments. Great picture, where was it taken, definitely looks worth a visit

Eilean Donan Castle on the Kyle of Lochalsh, if I've spelt it correctly.

Re: Cool coincidence
First off two cracking photos. Second is I spent six years living and working North of the boarder and loved every day there, managed to travel around and experience the beautiful scenery and breath the fresh air. I am so disappointed I didn't have a Lotus to share the experience with

Re: Cool coincidence
Well if you insist. (False sigh )
It's a "last of the series1" Evora Sports Racer models. There are just over 100 Sports Racers, with 53 of them Supercharged with the manual 6-speed combo mine has.
Had it 11 months. Several performance cars before this, but it is the most focused car i've owned . Performance is strong. Sterring feel is sublime, and it deserves all the "industry benchmark" accolades . Delicious.
Apologies in advance - I have a DSLR but cannot claim to be a photographer

Re: Cool coincidence
Right colour combo too, looks the business
A Rolex Daytona white dial would suit the car well
