Red Submariner, AMG E Class Wagon, B17OOT (Footsie) taken looking across Ardelve Bay on a half tide, on the Equinoxes I'd have been parked with water above the Wheels, or rather I wouldn't 
Sunburst green Submariner, Land Rover Discovery II, D15KOE, coming down our driveway facing Mam Ratagan, (not in pic, the mam is to the rear of ours land across the loch). The Mam has a very steep single track hairpin twisty going up it and down again into Glenelg and on to Arnisdale. That road is great fun to drive when no tourists about to spoil the fun, especially in the V8 Brabus SLK with the roof down. Lunch in Glenelg or further on to Arnisdale and a nice blast back again. Also fun to drive in winter snice in the D15KOE with his huge chunky Tyres and the Diff locks engaged.
I'll see if I got time tomorrow to take y'all for a drive up Carr Brae which has some beautiful views across Lock Duich and a great view from above of Eilean Donan Castle

Well, my large Car Port project was rained off earlier, so I took Mels wee Spog, (reg number starts "SP09") up and over Carr Brae as planned.
I haven't been up there recently, jeez, full of pot holes, and the roadside view points have not had the shrubbery cut back at all, so I'll have to split the pictures separate, Steering Wheel first lol, then out of the car to get a better viewing height over the wild shrubbery with the watch on wrist, and finally an in focus shot of the scenery.
I took 2 watches, my Smurf Submariner, and the cheapie Black Submariner, my "workshop daily beater watch". This Black Sub was my first purchase when I joined RWI. It was a £50 clearance item from a UK TD, entirely my fault the movement broke, lets just say operator error
Last week it was refurbished by me with a new Japan Miyota movement and a Rubber Oysterflex Strap.

Beautiful.... the scenery is quite nice too! 
Today's offering is a bittie late, as we've been to Inverness to pick our Grandson up, so I took the AMG E Class Wagon and yet another Rolex, this time my GMT Pepsi with Meteorite Dial. Shots taken from a gateway halfway ish along Lock Ness....
Today, a wee run out to Dornie, our local village with 2 different juicers (pubs) in the D15KOE
Loch Duich which our lands sits on is joined by Loch Long just the other side of the Dornie Bridge, in this pic we are facing NW looking upstream of Loch Long. Today's is my White Dial Rolex Yachtmaster 1
Edited, some dumb ass put the wrong "scenery in focus" picture in yesterday, but it coulda been a whole lot worse

Ultimately decided on this bad boy today. It has certainly been neglected.
Very nice !!
I just love the look of them, always makes me smile every time mine comes around in rotation.

A great combination, if you ask me.
