Hah! The whisky is even more expensive than the petrol, and tastes a lot better.

Not cold, warm. I didn't dare shut it off, since if I did it would be 2-3 hours before the starter would crank it again.

I learned something there, by the way -- if you get to a town where they call the chips "french fries" -- run away!

I'm getting misty-eyed remembering...I was just driving around the Edzell vicinity, since that's where the beast lived. Took one trip up around the headland at Petershead, the local force showed me a place to camp. Winter, so no startling rape fields.

It was later, in a hired Renault with my wife that we encountered french fries and all that goes with them, fortunately at the end of our stay...

I'd go back in a heartbeat.
