Welcome to the Friday Feature powered by H&H Classics...
www.handh.co.uk/
I borrowed one of the best drivers cars available, the manual Porsche Cayman GT4 and headed up to Scotland with SCC Private Members for their Highlands and North Coast 500 driving tour.
In this video we head over Applecross Pass, visit John O'Groats and get blown away by Glencoe. I wasn't prepared for the stunning roads, scenery or the rain ! I was joined by some pretty special cars, a McLaren 600LT, Ferrari 488 70th Anniversary, Ferrari 812 GTS, Jaguar Project 8, Porsche 911 GT3, AMG GTC, Audi V10 R8 and of course 'Team B' !
Check out SCC Private Members for more information about membership and their amazing driving tours. A huge thanks the Marcus Perkins for the incredible drone footage that really make this film.

When the US Naval base was there in Dunoon, there was a Dunkin Donuts shack just before the ferry entry...always a must with the kids for the journey home...last time we was there waiting for the Donuts, out of the Sea mist glided a US nuclear sub to moor along side the service ship...cherry on the cake...epic roads that side of the country.

Done this with 17 Cars in our party all the same make. It was brilliant and around 24c Blue Sky. The coast road just gets better and better. Did it with this party all the way past Durness to Tongue and back. Done it many times to the point I know every twist and turn. Take it lunch was at the Inn 😁 Just watch out for the highland cooos 👍 Cows are so used to it. Shame the weather closed in. I’ve always been lucky but the very first year we did it the four days were a heat wave or In scotland when we get two weeks of stunning weather Summer 😁 But the Road from Ullapool to Durness is stunning as well.

However, once I slowed down and started taking in the views it became one of the best drives I ever had. I firmly believe the Highlands offer the best views and touring opportunities anywhere in the world.

I live in Inverness and did the NC500 back in August for the 2nd time. Did it clockwise this time which was better. Did it with my 3 mates. Had a passenger with me in my Mk2 TT 3.2 and we were accompanied by a Ducati 1299 Corse which you can imagine struggled at times on some parts of the West and North Coast. Stayed in Ullapool and two days in my home town of Wick and we had a blast. Will definitely do it again. Lucky to have it on my doorstep. Enjoyed your footage 😉👍

Southerners venturing north of the M4 corridor and seeing new things in wonderment and awe - is like a child seeing their first ever snowfall. Oooohhh look Mummy, a coooo!! I think Wales has better roads and is prettier. It's not as dramatic as Glencoe, but it is greener, has better weather and is generally more beautiful. Northwest Wales can rival most of Scotland and it doesn't take forever to get there for most.

That's it one less subscriber for your channel as you insulted a North East loon. Thankfully I only grew up there and I am a West Coast boy unfortunately Africa not Scotland but having spent the last 21 years in the West of Scotland I agree with you the scenery in the middle to west is probably the best Scotland has to offer and if you ever make it out to the Western Isles they are off the scale for scenery. Another cracking film showcasing Scotland and a very good selection of cars. Keep them coming. P.S. we did the pass on our long weekend in August in a thunderstorm with pebbles being rolled down the road by the water, safely encountered courtesy of Land Rover.

Oh yes! Indeed some really do 😬 However, presumably it is the Scottish Government who put up all the signs for the NC500 (if not the local authority) in order to encourage tourism. So The tourists cannot be blamed for being there Therefore complaints about tourist numbers should be addressed with the authorities and not by getting annoyed at those visitors who genuinely want to explore the beautiful Scottish countryside What is *important* is that visitors treat the area with absolute respect. Hopefully then there is no justification for animosity.
