One of the best spots i have ever taken pics of the cup, couldnt wait tbh. Its the north side of the kessock bridge in inverness:cool: 250 mile round trip was well worth it :)
Does anyone know what the best was to remove the sticky pads that hold the numberplate on? Ive had trouble with this before on previous cars and can be a messy job :dapprove: ive heard tar and bug remover helps?
Any ideas?
