FIG.01 — PROBABLY THE BEST PART OF DRIVING

Scotland’s North Coast 500.

Starting at Inverness and driving anticlockwise it’s an amazing trip where every day gets more spectacular than the last.

Perimeter of Arizona

I used to travel to the US a fair bit for work and have often enjoyed taking a few days extra to fit in a drive. This one from 2014 taking in Flagstaff, Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and more. The Chevrolet Camaro convertible was a rental.

Pacific Coast Highway

After a very flight to San Francisco, huge line through immigration and long queue for the car rental desk in blistering heat; I was a soft tough for the car upgrade sales pitch. It could of been worse as I came away slight confused with the keys to a Mustang GT. All this in 2012 and my first trip to LA. Glad I chose to drive rather than fly it.
