Sounds amazing mate! Sounds like everything you ever need. Long drive, car port, garage etc! I laughed at camping part as would be wild! 

 

Car looking sweet too mate :)

Thanks Ali mate. Yeah wee Mindy-moo is coming along nicely, although slowly. Meant to take a pic of her latest addition that I fitted at the weekend. She now has the chrome air vent trims so think that pretty much finishes off the interior, although we quite fancy the chrome style bars too or possibly a small roll bar in silver.

 

Gayle was serious about the camping bit mate! Thing it would be a right laugh eh!

Aye, that sounds spot on applause.gif1

Haha! You up for it too Simon? Was gonna give Simon and Gav a call too along with Sarah and Dave. Plus anyone else that's would be up for it you're more than welcome guys! Will need to get moved in first though and get the bulk of the work done but might be able to do it later this year? Would be the first civic5 meet where we can all have a right laugh/drink etc, and the village has an amazing wee cafe that does evening meals on a Friday. Plus there's the train to Galashiels just 5 min walk from the house if we all wanted to go for a wee night out in town?

Plenty space for camping mate, garden is huge!! BBQ sounds a great idea too! The roads down there are amazing too, all right on our door step! Think we might just need to make this happen!!

Just had Mindy out for her first proper drive since end of October last year. Was freezing cold, but sun was shining, roads were dry(ish) so we went for a run down to our new house to get an idea where we're gonna build the garage, sunhouse etc. And yes, roof down! Did lunch again in the wee village cafe, then went for a wander round the village. Folk are so friendly and it's just relaxed and quiet.

We drove back over the moors road that goes from Stow to Lauder then up the A68 to home. Thought I'd stop to get some quick photos of Mindy! Where we stopped is literally 2 mins drive from the cottage (less than half a mile) so this is what we have on our door step roads wise!

And good to see the MX5 love is still there on the open road........got a wave from a mk3 then shared a lights flash with a mk2 that had the hard top fitted (wonder if either are on here?) Awesome wee run and think Mindy likes her new drive way/village

Nice one Dave! Looks a nice area you are moving too! 

 

BUT

 

All my attention is drawn on how fast Civic5 members can get on that straight! ecstatic.gif1

lmao, not as fast as you'd think as there are sheep and coo's everywhere.......great if you like that kinda thing as a bonnet mascot, not so great if you like the shape your car is just now! lol Mind you, would be good for the civic5 bbq! applause.gif1

Big sky! 

And that deffo looks like another roman road... Straight as an arrow! 

It is indeed......but at the end of the straight you're into some nice twisty sections. Really is an epic road although a few of the corners are blind so have to be a bit cautious as the roads narrow and there are sometimes 4x4's, tractors and sometimes flying livestock! :-D That road is gonna be Gayle and mines summer commute, what a great way to start and end your day eh!
