North Coast 500 - Touring suspension required!

[Jonhklee]

Driving the NC500 just now - convinced me tour and DCT is way to go!!

You should hear the v6 noise bouncing off of those hills.....

Yes, when listening to the stereo.

If you want to truly have fun and feel the car, get Sports suspension

Definitely need Cup2s for that road!

I didnt actually think the NC500 roads were that bad in terms of ride quality.
What you ideally need is a narrower car and full ppf!

True. But the passing places were brutal with the motor homes nudging me off road!! PPF definitely and the Emira would be a bit wide for the Applecross pass to squeeze pass some of the monstrosity campers!

The section from Torridon to Durness was awesome!!! The Kylesku bridge crossing was exceptional…. Next time in the Emira….

Also, don’t take a Hethel Yellow car as it will be permanently covered in midges

I’m now narrowed to Yellow or Nimbus….

Tan interior as I love Tan Italian leather…..

Yellow on Tan might work - mini supercar look. But worry as it’s not recommended. But I like it.

Nimbus on Tan - sophisticated GT look. I like this combo, but is it too safe!?

I thoroughly enjoyed a sport suspension on the NC500... but do recommend more than a half-pitched tent for a roof in Scottish weather.

I was there today, the ruined Castle was epic!

 

[Evotion]

It is the journey up there that freaks me out.

Can 6 of us hire an 6-car transporter? I am in then...

My late friend Mark (RIP) did it in his Nomad. BIG respect to the true petrol heads

I'd happily go back, only tip I can advise is go outside of school holidays, we went the week before Easter and it was fantastic
