Yes that must have hurt!...I drove that road about a year ago on my way to the Isle of Harris via Skye and it is a great road for driving enjoyment...but again push it too hard, dependent on conditions you could easily lose it

Reminds me of a situation many years ago when one of the rent-a-car companies had a weekend deal for a 944 Porsche...myself and a colleague/friend were at Aberdeen airport trying to get down to London. He suggested we hire the thing and spend the weekend at Aviemore, I declined and booked myself down to Heathrow. About 4 hours later I boarded and sat down only to see my friend get on as well....he looked at me and said 'don't even ask"....he put about 27 miles on a new 944 before rolling it!...AA Relay truck brought him and the car back to the airport...lucky for him he took all the additional insurance.

Looking at SUPERTEACH's picklist...rather a silly driver!
