Just a quick post to introduce myself.
I’m Mark, thought I’d sign up after getting an A1 on the car scheme through work.

In a previous life I was quite active on a few of the Vauxhall forums and used to be the area organiser/rep for the Vauxhall Opel Drivers Club before it closed down a few years ago.

Apart from the A1 I also have Citroen C4 Cactus (which the wife uses) and a VW Fox. 
 

Here’s a quick pic of my car

It's lovely there. Me too! I'd move to the west coast of Scotland or a Scottish island if I could.

The drives a bit of a hike, just under 500 miles from where I am and it took me just over 9 hours inc 3 loo breaks and one fuel up at Inverness

True but.once you're up there the views are worth it. If you look under the road trip section you'll see the nc500 trip I did in my Audi in 2020.
