24 hours with the top down

My dad is ridiculously difficult to buy presents for, so as a combined Christmas and Birthday present I hired this gorgeous Triumph Stag for 24 hours up at Forres, and organised a basic wee cabin for us for the night.

Headed up on the train to Inverurie where he picked me up (he lives in Aberdeenshire) and after an initial half hour of being talked at on all sorts of Daily Wail style topics, the day settled down into a good one.

Not all altruistic - I've wanted to drive one of these for ages, and the sound of the (original 3.0) V8 is awesome.

Buzzed about to various locations, taking a few scenic routes, before fish and chips at the harbour in Nairn. Cracking.
