London via Southampton to Isle of Wight three days and back to Bournemouth for a night and back to London. Not one. Was I the only one on IOW?
I was possibly most southern. Mark_S possibly the most westerly? Edinburgh maybe most North? Who is the most Easterly this weekend?
Someone in KL gonna reply.....

You probably were, it's still 1992 on the Isle of Wight.


16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

I was most northerly I think - north-west of the Isle of Skye.

Didn't see a single coupe though.

Portsmouth to Ifracombe and back without seeing a single Coupe last week. I was in a 207 SW hire car - a truly terrible car.

Must have missed you on the A82 Barnacle, mind you that was Sunday northbound and Weds southbound.

Kept an eye out for jimboy nr. Fort William but he was still lurking in his castle laugh

@dlongstaff, hope you don't meet the Aberdeen and Fife boys [and girls] in a dark alley laugh

Different days, Simon - Saturday north and Tuesday south. Average from Skye to Glasgow, both times, 35mph... 7 hours shocked

It seems that in summer, Scotland is full of folk who can't cope with single track roads, and haven't read that bit in the highway code about pulling over to allow faster traffic (all four or five hundred of them) past.

Tourists, yes, almost certainly. Like me? Probably not.

(My parents have lived on Skye since the late seventies...)

Ah! Understood, but I thought you went to Fort William that weekend and that's more North than Edinburgh. I did use 'perhaps' just in case.
Myself, Durham area, or thereabouts.
