Overtaking things on the A9.
Those were the days

Funnily enough what I had in mind for this was on the A9. Managed the outskirts of Edinburgh many years ago in an old Vectra ST200 to the Kessock Bridge in 1h45. Well before the days of average speed cameras, and no real police presence on the road either. That car was always at its best at higher speeds, until I put the lower final drive in it you could hit 115mph in 3rd! Sadly you're lucky to do that journey in 2h45 now no matter what the traffic. Gatwick to Edinburgh in just over five hours was good going too. God, the things we used to do when we were younger!
Changing headhunits used to be commonplace but how many people do it regularly now?
