The A887 between Invermoriston and the Skye Bridge is a great road on any count - beautiful mountain scenery, good road surface and at one stage it goes through a wonderful series of swooping bends by the side of Loch Cluanie that can be negotiated at 'almost legal' speeds in the Civ in a mixture of 4th, 5th and 6th gears.
I was giving it some reasonably serious stick along the stretch when we exited a tight-ish bend and saw a group of three blokes looking down the bank down into the Loch with assorted personal belongings by the roadside.
We stopped and asked if they were OK, and one of them said "yes, we're fine but my car isn't" - and there, perched against a rock on its side after having obviously rolled a few times was a silver Audi TT with not a body panel unscathed. I commiserated and asked how long he had owned the car - "I picked it up at 9 o'clock this morning!"
Ouch!!
