Going North on the A9
|
On the way across from Gourock; all together on the boat 'Like a millpond...' A most welcome, 'welcoming committee'! Team line-up, whilst silver-fox takes the lunch order... Before a short, but very scenic drive, to our own specially laid-on private pier carpark for lunch. Collected for us by silver-fox herself..! Thereafter, another very scenic drive, somewhat slower due to the increased weight of the occupants on board, to a very lovely spot further down the peninsula... Time for a quick pebble-skimming competition, whilst the seals called us from just offshore... On street parking... Then a trip back to the ferry to await our turn. "Goodbye silver-fox: thanks for everything!" Back on the boat... And a specially laid on Coupé-rainbow, to match the cars as we sail away...! What an amazing day out! I feel like I was abroad on holiday... Thanks for making all arrangements Ed & Silver-fox. And for impeccable tour guiding and itinerary planning, Silver-fox.

Great selection there DG. Lunch on the pier, rock-pool exploring, seal-watching and coupe-parading complemented great company. Many thanks Dee for the super-efficiency of the grand tour and organising the crafty bits of nitty-gritty

This is a friends new coupe that we collected just yesterday... It was certainly a very enjoyable drive for me on the way home

Wow! Is this on loan or a permanent acquisition?

A little movie footage .... This apparently unprecedented event brought out onlookers and photographers to an extent not witnessed previously - wonder if there'd been some "tip-off" 6 Coupes in Sunny Dunoon

Lovely location and weather - if that were around here it would be heaving with tourists. ...and I thought you were doing a little composition on a Korg Monotron! If you need help mounting your bees, as opposed to just ramming them in a handy air vent...I could give them the escapee treatment? Buddy has 9 rigging points, legs, replacement mouths, an animotor which was supposed to makes his wings oscillate but makes his eyes bounce instead. Oh and a 3 volt bus. Shouts "Honig. Ich Liebe Dich" in his sleep, crashes into flowers. etc
