jamiehamy 0 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Took a random trip up to Skye today with my mother. The weather was great and it was also the first real good drive I've had in ages in the Corrado. It was brilliant. I've got Bistein shocks, standard springs and a H&R rear ARB. really rough surfaces can be crashy, but the handling is just sublime, soaks up all the undulations without getting flung about, no nose-heavy tendancies. Totally composed, flat in most bends, I had a ball. Only thing I will do is go for 50 profile tyres next time (soon) rather than 45s to take the harshness away hopefully. Was going to go for standard shocks, but not after today's drive. Visited a place called Sandaig too, which is Camusfearna for those that have read Ring of Bright Water. Knackered, 405 miles in a day! Hope you like this pics :) Edited September 29, 2013 by jamiehamy adding extra pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 9 Posted September 29, 2013 Love this. Looks like a nice drive/adventure. We need more articles along these lines(instead of the usual dirge of tired old questions) Thanks for sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkR 11 Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks for sharing. It has given me the inspiration to wash the Corrado and take it out for a drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted September 30, 2013 Some great driving roads up that way Jamie and some nice pics Regarding your 405 mile journey...pah, I drove 710 miles on Friday picking up our new family bus, 6am set off, arrived home at 11.55pm with 5 hrs of that time spent in bloody traffic jams on the M6 :bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ray_vr6 1 Posted September 30, 2013 Great fun to be had up here on Skye with the Corrado. Some fantastic roads including the single tracks that leave very little margin for error! Oh and next time anyone is planning a trip to Skye message me - would be great to meet up with other owners Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted September 30, 2013 Its funny, I bought my car to drive but in the year I've had it....it has spent most of its time in bits or part way through the fixing of some issue. I'm really hoping that next year, i will actually be able to get out there and drive it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 30, 2013 Fantastic :) Would love to take the Corrado up to Skye one year. Have been up fairly far into Scotland now several times, including once in the Corrado and it's AWESOME - I implore anyone who has thought about it, or daydreamed about it, to give it a go. The scenery once you get north of Glasgow is just fantastic and the roads are often very quiet. First time I took the A82 up to Fort William I could barely keep my eyes on the road - I just wanted to gorp out of the window the entire way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamiehamy 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks for the comments folks. I need to invest in a proper camera, my phone doesn't do the autumn colours justice. A couple more :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
