Re: I Had Never Heard Of NC 500...

they are well advanced in Scotland foxey for services, on that journey we were about 50 miles from our first overnight stop and i was lowish on fuel, i checked the sat nav for nearest petrol station it told me 24 miles, as we clocked up that mileage i couldn't see anything like a petrol station, there was a layby type area with two stainless steel objects, no people around, no buildings......omg they were petrol pumps, all done electronically using a credit card

That's good macywack, but I can't see them providing charging stations for electric motors up there. It will be bad enough installing enough to cope with demand here if Boris has his way. Or is he just giving the greens lip service?

Wasn't that to charge the ferry macywak?....
We did a tour of western Scotland for my fiftieth birthday, we did Fort William, Oban, and Arisaig. We took the ferry from Mallaig to Skye, and Skye was so beautiful we stayed there for the rest of the holiday......Good memories....



Sorry about the quality, had to scan them from the album....
