Aye.......will be up your way soon ( we are only just in Scotland to be fair!!) when we do the North Coast 500..........sadly it will be in the Middlebridge and not the R75.
Like the Elgin area, lovely part of the World.

Zed is off to Biggar in the R75 today which hopefully will be a nice ride through the Borders before getting to Lanarkshire.
Yesterday he had a busy day, firstly getting a good look at my Rover 75........... [IMG]P1030117 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]P1030119 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG] Then he looked over the V6 in the Middlebridge engine bay............. [IMG]P1030121 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG] Finally he checked over the new rear discs on the R75 which Ashley had just fitted....... [IMG]P1030123 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG]

Zed stayed in today to await a parcel...........got excited about the contents till I told him they were for the Middlebridge and not the 75..........
[IMG]P1030133 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG] He seemed pleased with the bag of sweets Nigel at QRG ( Middlebridge specialist) had put in the parcel! [IMG]P1030134 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG]

After the excitement of Easter Road , zed has been busy helping Ashley with the rear springs.
Whilst returning with zed from Biggar last week, we were stuck in a traffic jam when all of a sudden there was a slight crunch and ping from the rear offside. There was no discernible loss in ride performance but as we hadn't been run into by another car , Ashley immediately thought of the rear springs. Once back in the garage he had a look and indeed the rear offside spring had fractured just after the first coil turn. [IMG]P1030137 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG] One can see why often an owner does not know it has happened till the MOT. I will go into more technical detail elsewhere on the forum but here are some shots of zed "helping" Checking the new spring v the fractured one............ [IMG]P1030138 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG] Checking the drain holes in the lower arm are OK before putting the new spring in ....... [IMG]P1030143 by Ann Edwards, on Flickr[/IMG] Thanks to "marinabrian" for his fantastic method of spring removal.
