Default Rocephin farewell meet

This was mean't to be Vince's farewell meet, but due to a severe alcohol related medical condition, he was unable to make it

Fortunately, David, Iain and I had an excellent hoon instead in great weather and some very quiet roads.

Perth, Braemar, Tomintoul, Aviemore, Dalwhinnie, Aberfeldy - I got a totally clear run through Glendevon in the failing light on my return too. Shame the other guys had to turn onto the A9 at Gleneagles.

Stunning Perthshire scenery in Autumn - great day

Felt like the first winter meet though - bring on the snow and crisp, cold mornings..........

That squashed one of your car keeps squeezing in ...

Great hoon. Probably my most enjoyable driving day in the S. Plenty of the fast sweeping bends I like, and an excellent pace maintained by Mr EPS himself.

Top marks all round

(Oh, and I forgot to charge my camera so no pics from me )

Yes, but it was a bit of a blur. We were doing some serious hooning as the roads were so quiet ...

We met a couple from Oxford at Dalwhinnie. The husband was thinking of co-purchasing an S with his daughter but wanted to point one out to his wife. They'd travelled all the way up from Oxford and not seen one, and then three show at once ...

Carded him so perhaps he'll make an appearance in due course.

Pay attention to the road in the distance in all these pics folks.
