Title: Drag racing in the Outer Hebrides
Post by: John Maher on November 02, 2012, 00:48:31 am
Dug out another video clip while trawling through the archives.
This one's more recent (2010), including some footage of the roads and scenery in the vicinity of my workshop.
The dyno room makes a brief appearance.

The director assumed I'd be conducting my interview in the local lingo.
He was disappointed to hear otherwise. Presenter Fiona flies the flag.
Includes subtitles for the  non-gaelic speakers among you ;-)

Love the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, we're up three of four times a year not too far away visiting my wife's family (on Skye). No drag strip there though! Will have to drag the car up and get the ferry sometime!
