Yeah thats my truck.

New head fitted,runs great a part from the lumpy start. I'll try the redex tonight.
Thought i'd better explore some of Scotland before going abroad this year. The weather made it all the better.
The ferry was £206 (5 day return) for the truck and 2 passengers. A bit steep but my accommodation was free.
It's close to Mull,you sail past Mull from Oban to get there. The journeys about 5 hours or 6/7 hours if you sail via Coll and Tiree. There's other options of gettin there via ferry as well. See http://www.calmac.co.uk/

If your brave enough when the tides out at the airport( the beach) you can take your truck onto the beach,the tide goes out for about 1 mile. Watch out for cockle pickers though and if the wind sock's up watch out for planes!!!

You can fly as well but then you canny take your truck ,so that wouldn't be much fun.

Oh,see your into surfin and kite things (is it the things on wheels with kite attatched)??? I'd imagine the wind on the west coast off the Atlantic would be ideal with the mile long beaches
