I remember when the boys were young(er), that year after year they wanted a computer game upgrade. I'm sure the cost of living then was worse, as buying Christmas presents broke us every year. I shrivelled up at the thought of the cost of the latest Sony Playstation and games, but sometimes I was as enthusiastic as my sons to get the gemes out. I enjoyed the driving/racing games most, especially the rally ones: Colin McRae. I even constructed a full 'racing' cage out of wood and metal, incorporating a seat, and adjustable (for length) pedal box set and steering wheel. It made driving and sliding the car really realistic, and it was so good we had to get Grandpa (who even drove once in the Singapore GrandPrix back in the 1950's when it was a very different event to today's F1 Grand Prix). All was good until he decided to do a sudden 90 degree turn and sheered off the steering wheel.

Anyhow, I digress. There I was today taking the snaking road from Kilchoan out to the end of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula at Sanna beach, when it struck me what a wonderful rally stage it would make.
