Scottish trunk roads. You take the A9 and I\’ll be in Wick with Bob Tuck says Biglorryblog!

You take the high-road and Biglorryblog will take the A9 up to Orkney–thanks to ‘Mr Vintage and Classic Motor’ Bob Tuck who has sent me this great selection of shots including the above picture of the road north of Inverness. Anyway, I’ll let Bob tell the story: “Brian, seeing all those shots on Biglorryblog on the road from down-under made me want to go back down there although it’s good to see that they do get bad weather in NZ as well as sunshine.”
Bob gos on; “Antway I trawled through my archives and found some shots on the A9 north of Inverness from a few years back. I must have had some time to kill and wanted to practice my panning technique. You get a great mix in this part of the world as this is the only main road around.”
He continues:”Mention of the A9 reminds me to mention the next issue of Truck & Driver which comes out on Thursday! A great story of a trip to Wick in a head turning XF105 plus an even greater story from Florida.” And BLB need not tell you who wrote the stories…that’s right, our Bobby!
Anyway keep clicking through here for more of his great shots from the A9.
The last time I drove up the A9 I spotted quite a few timber trucks, although it’s interesting that the further North you go the fewer trees there are!
And of course there are still a few old model Fodens…
Or first generation Renault Premiums..
And to finish here’s a ERF tanker…and I’ll say one thing Bob, you had fantastic weather!
