Here are some of the highlights of our 500 miles of driving across Scotland in a rented Caterham (Thanks Boyd! HighlandCaterhamHire.co.uk). Some of the audio from the cameras didn't turn out to well, but I went ahead and left it in for the most part.
This was our first time in Scotland, and my first time driving a Caterham, as well as my first time on the right side of the car and left side of the road!
After a little getting used to, the Caterham was incredible. 1,600 lbs, no power steering, no ABS, and no traction control. The is an SV model with close ratio Quaife 6 speed and Rover 1.8 liter engine with 140 hp. I can see how 200 hp or a little more would be about right for one of these. It was definitely like nothing else I've driven and it was perfect for the amazing roads and scenery.
The map of our route is at the end of the video, and included Elgin, Loch Ness, The Isle of Skye, the Quiraing, Fort William, and the Glenmore Forest Park.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
