[jugs]

Nice & simple frame + a rear axle & dif (off a trany ?), rubber tracks off a digger ? = lot of fun + useful.

Never thought I would be impressed by a Lada. Here is a conversion for the Landy's.

Brilliant idea! (the first Lada one, the landie looks over complicated to change over).

Is that the garage in Glen Dochart Sam, next to junction for Killin, if so, they normally have a bigger tracked beast there also?

I've passed same spot a muckle times meself, their all terrain vehicles of all shapes and sizes are a landmark to the area.

Have you viewed the one on Mull, your heading south from Craignure, Its a wee cottage where vehicle is kept, I reckon pretty close-ISH to Pennyghael?

Mull was like the TT landed half full o Guinness and continued for the whole weekend but remembered the best fish and chips ever from the wee van on the pier. No I was not driving!!!!

Do they still do the Venison burgers at the all night van in Salen?

Could not say to be sure but have made venison burgers myself they are lovely. Spent two nights in the back of the van large fry in the morning fish supper one night and a curry the next filled in between with much Guinness. Most enjoyable weekend we were talking last night about going back this year and think my neighbour wants to do the snowman rally as well thats if he finally finishes off the car. Must go hear his car off to the pub for a couple of Belhaven best.

Funny you should post a photo from Lix Toll, as due to snow blocking the A9 on Friday I had to drive past there for the first time in about 6 months

Can't say I recall ever seeing a van in Salen Robo, I recall Tobermory, there was also a van at Lochaline, which has now been superseded by a fixed log cabin style eatery!

This is the Mull experience, you land with best intentions, arrive in Tob, then hit MacGochans, The MacDonald Arms, The Mishnish and, if you have the stamina for the steps, head up to The Western Isles Hotel.

Weekends a blur heading back on ferry

We usually stayed in Salen when covering the tour of Mull rally (fairly central) sampled one of the burgers at 0300 after a late stage!

Ah, I understand now, I've never been to Mull during rally week, I reckon fast food vans and the like are ferried in to meet the extra demand from rally fans?

The amphibious snow screw version shown in the 2nd clip on the O/P has been updated as atotally new beastie but with the same principles.

Recently some hero ( or words to that effect ) drove over the ice /pack ice from Russia ending up in Uncle Sams back yard .

I seem to remember reading they had closed down and sold all the exotica off
