Hello ladies and gentlemen. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are in the world I hope you are having an awesome day!
Welcome to my RU-vid channel where I upload anything and everything from long videos to very short ones, just whatever I fancy putting on here goes on here.
Moments silence dor the millions handed over to GEOROPES which achieved zilch otger than lining pockets. Amazing what having a friend in parliament can do. Each and every employee working there when asked openly admitted they were achieving absalutamente nada, but happy to take the money whike it was going. Follow the money. Georopes, Ballachulish
It was a bit of a pain. I had some interior trim tools that I used to remove it. The light is just held in by some clips. You do have to be a bit forceful. I would recommend putting a rag or cloth around the tool just to stop it damaging the paint. I think I put my tool in to the bottom of the light then just slowly prided at it. You do have to move the tool u r using around the edge of the light so that the clips release. It is a massive pain no going to lie.
@@CAB_18 Thanks for the reply, I tried putting a rag around a small flat-head screwdriver and went to town with it, damaging the paint a bit without any success whatsoever... I tried the plastic trim tools, but one actually snapped and left plastic inside the crevis... such a pain to remove, I'll try again once I have some better tools.... Thanks for the reply!
Spectacular journey (just ignore Savile's old house) I'm from Oban & rarely have reason to take this road, and although there are some breath-taking views, what I always thought it would benefit from is a snack shop or van, even a little petrol garage, because there is literally nothing but scenery from Tarbet to Fort William. That's just my strange diabetic brain though as I was once caught short & my blood sugars were dipping dangerously low while on a journey. For that reason, I always feel better if there are amenities nearby. Here's an idea...Why doesn't someone open Jimmy's old house as a tea room & shop. It would benefit travellers of all types, including a lot of hillwalkers. And anyway, it shouldn't be known as that evil perverts old home. It should be known as the world-renowned mountaineer Hamish MacInnes's, who lived there until 1987. Great video 👍
I never cease to be amazed at the the perseverance of those nameless govt bureaucrats who faithfully arrange for a roadsign in every single passing place. What WOULD we ever do without this wonderful aid? 🤣
In the Summer of 22 I put a thousand miles on my rental car driving the highland roads of Scotland. That includes this section of A82 as well. It was my first trip to Scotland and I hope with all my heart it wasn’t my last! I loved every second of that eleven days, and every mile driven.
Stabilize the slopes with trees, will need Scots Pine as well. Slower growing but has an exceptional root spread. The road should also be on stilts. IMO
Hearing you mention fuel prices- ⛽️ Living in Tasmania, Australia, Diesel is now around $2.20 per litre, near £1.40. Always dearer than petrol that I have noticed. (Female) I learned to drive in an unregistered truck, on a farm paddock in 1958.. Have always taken an interest in vehicles, Father had a transport business, not huge, several employees though. We had a fuel pump in our property, Shell Co during the 1940's 50's and 60's... Then eventually worked in Logistics for an Interstate Freight company.. Enjoyed your delivery video..
no. the road you are thinking of is the A83. At Tarbet the road splits, continue straight and you join the A83 up and over the rest and be thankful or turn right and you continue on the A82 towards Oban/Fort William. Im happy to answer questions so ask away🙂
Wonderful views up in the Highlands, I use to go every year usually stayed at Invergarry (25ml north of Fort William) nothing there, but a good location to get anywhere in the Highlands. I can't drive the long distance to get there now, I miss it everyday........❤️
Another negative from the days of Beeching. All your deliveries would have been easy in the days of the mechanical horse and the Scarab. Load from the railway a container or boxes/pallets from a rail van in Oban rail depot. Modern addition would be a tail lift or piggy fork lift on the trailer. A tractor unit which can turn in its own length. Disadvantage a bit slow in its original form (30mph approx.) so local deliveries only. But while you deliver another trailer can be loaded. A modern alternative as used in Europe and the US is to put the loaded trailers on the train but this assumes the bridges and tunnels are wide and high enough, though one Swiss narrow gauge railway had containers and flat cars to suit its tunnels and bridges only recently updated to take standard containers in well car wagons.
Agree, Oban is hopeless for traffic. As for pedestrians try playing loud the tune from M.A.S.H., the film.,Ie Suicide is Dangerous? or the Who, deaf, dumb and blind kid. Pinball wizard.
