Obviously having an amazing time.

Good on you.

Weather looks significantly better. Hope it's good for you today, as well, Richard.

We need to know though which watch you're wearing for the week. I don't anticipate you've taken more than one.

If you have a motorcycle this is a highly recommended route. If you don’t have one, get one.

I’m not a motorcyclist but this looks like a great route in a little sports car, either modern (eg, Mazda MX5) or classic (eg, Triumph TR6). What do you think?

It would be good in a small car, although not as good as a bike.

Some of the route is single track with passing places. On a bike it’s usually easy to maintain momentum, but in a car I guess you’d need to stop and wait more frequently.

Having driven some of the roads that @downer is on, an MX-5 may be okay, Caterham 7 much better (there's a Company you can hire the 7s from to do the NC500) but I'll advocate a TR6 is too low slung and 'ponderous', I owned one back in the mid 70s.

Something like a Yaris GR would be ideal.
