I borrowed one of the best drivers cars available, the manual Porsche Cayman GT4 and headed up to Scotland with SCC Private Members for their Highlands and North Coast 500 driving tour. I wasn't prepared for the stunning roads, scenery or the rain ! I was joined by some pretty special cars, a McLaren 600LT, Ferrari 488 70th Anniversary, Ferrari 812 GTS, Jaguar Project 8, Porsche 911 GT3, AMG GTC, Audi V10 R8 and of course 'Team B' !
Check out SCC Private Members for more information about membership and their amazing driving tours. A huge thanks the Marcus Perkins for the incredible drone footage that really make this film.

I’ve done the NC500 on a motorbike and had superb weather. The biggest problem is that round every corner is a ‘wow’ moment and you have to resist the temptation to keep stopping to take photos… the roads are petrolhead heaven and the scenery is just magnificent…. Just don’t tell anyone though we really need to keep it to ourselves! Lol 😆
Every corner has a stunning view 👌
That as awsome, and to coin a fraze "Oh my days" what a sound. Thank you.
Brilliant! Great drone footage on the Queensferry bridge!
Peter, Me & Caz just watched the vid, brought back such great memories from our week away with you guys & the SCC, the scenery was just stunning! Every turn another “VIEW”. Great footage can’t wait to see part 2!
It was such a great trip made all the better for the new friends made and the laughs we had. Congrats on the RS by the way 👌👏👏
Please do more together. Your interactions are magical! This takes your content to the next level.
I agree. This channel needs a co-host to lighten the work for Peter.
I couldn’t agree more 😉
Will do 👍
My best buddy will always be up for a road trip 👍
They love you Bud 👍
Loved the drone footage.
Brilliant vid - stunning route and one of your best yet. Looking forward to the rest Ped 👍
Thanks Rob 👍
Brilliant video well done really enjoyed it drove on most of the roads epic
Totally wicked 👌🏻What an awesome line up of cars and utterly amazing roads and scenery. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for the next video 😉👍🏻
The next one should be even better 😬👍
Awesome video with incredible drone footage over the whole video and just on the Queensferry Bridge. Can’t wait for the next episodes 👍
It gets better 👍
Cool drive in a cool car... cannot wait for part 2 😉
Fantastic episode loved the drone footage 10/10👍
Fantastic video, Pete. (I love your drone, it's bloody quick!).
I wish it was mine. Marcus was the legend flying it. It’s a Mavic FPV and it will do 150kmph !
Great video Ped 👍 Bringing back some cool memories
Made all the better by your amazing skills my friend 👍
Great video, looking forward to part 2.
I enjoyed watching the Video. A very long way drive for a Road Trip but at the same time fun
A very long way 😂
brave drone shots next to that bridge ! excellent video, a great adventure, I'm wishfully wishing to join one of these trips one day, and spotted at 18:29 Marcus doing his expert thing.
You need to join SCC and come along 👍
Try Petrolhead Tours, Spain Portugal incredible roads and weather
Hi Pete - love the vid. Looking forward to the next instalments. Really inspires me to go driving in Scotland one day (in a tasty car!) ☺️
Highly recommended Rachel. It’s so beautiful up there 👌
Great vid, as usual. Having lots of fun there Pedro. NC500 is on my list, one day. But living on the South Coast it's a proper trip just to get there... :)
It sure is 😳😂
Yes, I have to agree about the drone footage, it was excellent!
Well done Lads. 👏👏👏
Thanks David 👍
Excellent as always ..great work chaps 👍
Thanks 👍
Loving the drone work 👍
Hi Ped
Glad to see you are a Shell VPower user.😁very much enjoyed Part 1, drone footage excellent. Brought back memories going back to 1998 when we covered 2,600 miles on greater part of that route including Sky. Roads incredable and empty, and scenery well lost for words. Looking forward to Part 2🤗🤗
Thought I’d best treat that press car to the best 😂
What a great video! I really have to come over from NL and do that tour. Driving on the left side in a right hand drive car feels a bit scary but the roads there seem wide enough and have great visibility…
You get used to it very quickly 👍
Stunning as usual. Hoping to do the NC500 next summer
You should. It’s amazing 👍
Did the same trip on a 718 Cayman S about 6 weeks ago. We had amazing weather and the roads were deserted. Amazing place to visit in a 2 seater sports car
Great car 👍
That seat was way too high! 😂 Sure he effected the COG with that lift 😅
Great views/roads and a Porsche !!! What’s not to like 🍻🇨🇦👍🏻
Another excellent Video can't 2ait to see the others I been to Scotland on road trips never disappointed 👍
Mega isn’t it 👍
This Porsche GT4 is an explicit threat to my early retirement plan, such tempting proposition. Absolutely fabulous content Pete, the last hope of a mare mortal driving a GT4 is only imaginable.
LOL…and mine 😂
Ah Peter…you should see those roads on a cold sunny filled weekday morning..it is magical and of course, rare! I have roamed them for many years since 1964 with my Dad…I need that AMG GTR now..or a GT3RS…but I liked them in a 1994 Shogun at the time!!😀😀😀😀Stay safe, Richard.🙂🙂🙂🙂
Fantastic.Looking forward to part two.
Thanks 👍
Enjoyed that one. Such great scenery.
Thanks David. It’s very special up there 👍
Braemar up to Tomintoul is the BEST driving road. Shame the weather wasn't great but good excuse to come back when the heather is out as its very spectacular!
Soon headed to Arkansas mountains for a car tour in my 718 spyder. Should be amazing! Such great cars. Thanks for sharing.
Nice 👌
I love watching these two Grandads. More content please I find it relaxing 😎
Oy 😮
@@PetrolPed Ha I was just kidding! I’m just super jealous about the car 🤣 x x
21:00 9PM Jacksonville FL EDT
Fantastic drone footage.
I have my mate Marcus to thank for that 👍
More Dad jokes per minute than I have ever heard LOL. Fantastic video Pete, love it!!!
😂😂😂
I am so glad you drove the snow road over Glenshee. It has to be close to the top of my top 5 best drives in Scotland. That is the area of Scotland I grew up in and used to cycle to Balmoral from Tarland round trip 40 miles as a boy. I frequently drive that road as my best mate's farm is close to there and our son is at University in Aberdeen. Looking forward to driving it in the car we are picking up from Jaguar in Dundee tomorrow. Not an F Type unfortunately. Looking forward to the rest of the films in this series.
Such a beautiful part of the world 👍
@@PetrolPed A real privilege to grow up there and call it home.
Love this! What a line up of cars, stunning views and good company. If Carlsberg did car tours!
Oh yes 🙌
Wonderful video mate from Oz 🇦🇺❤️🏁
Thanks Lawrence 👍
Hello pal, I’m so looking forward to this Sir. 👍👍👍🤜🤛
Hi Bud. You guys well ?
@@PetrolPed all well this end Sir thanks. Hope you are both refreshed after your break?
Mega epic awesome fantastic and on and on I could go describing this video! This series is gonna be a high light for the channel. Great cars breathtaking views and just wicked awesome roads all shared with your mate! Sounds like a dream come true! Sir Pete any video you do with you mate are always a joy to watch! Your partnership with SCC private members is incredible for both you and them. Can’t wait for the rest of the series! As always Sir Pete this video hit it out of the park!
Thanks Bud 👊
Drone footage is amazing
If only I could say it was me flying it 😂
Evening all 😊👏great Road amazing views
Many who live on the NC500 are getting a bit fed up with the traffic & disruption it causes. Yes I know there are many businesses that gain from it.
But still it must get a bit wearing with all the loud cars and bikes. Still like the video though. ☺️
Glad I got my Scottish driving fix in the 80's 90's and 00's before the proliferation of speed cameras etc.
They don’t seem to mind the extra tourist income coming to the area. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth and all that 😜
Hahahah. When I first saw the radio in the center console, I thought "Huh, I haven't seen radios used on a drive without an antenna". Hahhahahahah
Good spot 😂
Just Truly EPIC!
Thanks 👍
Brilliant video Pete. Such a shame about the weather.
We had some good days too 👍
Another great experience.
Indeed 🙏🏻
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
great vid yes indeed
Thanks 👍
Great video and a trip I’d like to take my yaris GR or GT4 on too. Did the nc500 from Brighton a year back on my bmw s1000rr on semi slicks in November in the rain. 1580 miles in 3.5 days. Horrendous!
Oh wow 😮
Glenshee Road (east side) is my favourite road and only about an hour from my house....depending on how clear the road is 😉
I’ve covered a number of car tours that use these roads, mainly photographs and a wee bit of video...
Went to Dunkeld to a Land Rover Experience day when the new Defender came out. Need to watch out for motorbikers on the twisty bits of Scottish roads the in experienced riders often come the other way cranked over with their heads on your side of the road!
Oh yes 👍
Great driving roads I bet that would be a great trip in Ruby 👍🏴🏴🏴
Oh yes 👍
Oh now it begins. I remember you released the video 2500 miles in 5 days in the porsche gt4, now I see thats how you managed that.
Yep. Lots of driving 👍
Great video as usual. Would be nice to know which roads were taken
We did so many it’s hard to remember 😂 The main one on this video was the Spittle of Glen Shea 👍
Pete the drone footage is amazing, how did you get permission to fly over the bridge?
Permission, probably not ! Scotland is weird like that. Just don’t break anything, leave only footprints. There is no law of trespass in Scotland 🏴 for example.
@@gordonmackenzie4512 Thanks I did not know that, makes for a lot more fun!!
The drone pilot is fully qualified and insured. It wasn’t me flying 😂
Great video the last time I went up there on that route was in a 2.8 s Capri, Tee Hee
Nice 👍
EPIC !
Love Teebay services, proper food and decent service last time I was there. And brought some square sausage there, was rather nice with mash, peas and onion gravy... Anyhoo, what a cracking drivers road, AKA Scotland!!
If only all services were that good 😢
@@PetrolPed indeed!! I think it’s a family run business which helps..
Did the NC500 in 2015, the gravel rash was so bad when I got back I swapped the car, so would recommend PPF! Also would recommend plenty of time to stop and enjoy the scenery, we did too many miles / day, personal preference but my thoughts..great trip to take Porsche’s car on though 😅
Yep. PPF and good windscreen insurance are a must 😂
What a line up, me in the gt3.......could of edited that one out. Great trip and one i really wanna do
Oops…wishful thinking 😂
Evening all from a Premier Inn near Silverstone! Happy Friday!! Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Gotta love a Purple Palace 👍
@@PetrolPed Yep they are pretty decent. Breakfast was extra was nice.
Remember when V Power was £1.50 a litre? 😂 Been waiting for this, it might inspire me to get my planning head on over the weekend.
Go for it. Dynamo deserves a run out 😜😂
Looks fab …I know it’s an old one but any info on route and overnights would be appreciated - car too low for lots of bumps and seems this was anticipated …😊
Absolutely fantastic video, watched it twice! What' the background music, please?
I got it from a copyright free music library called Epidemic Sounds 👍
@@PetrolPed Thank you.
11:21 So much for being a communications expert Peter 🤣
I know 😂😂😂
My kind of spec, comfy seats and no daft cages!
Yep 👍
17:32 using Pilot Sport Cup 2’s in Scottish weather! You’re a very brave man 😃
I am indeed 😂
Or stupid 🤔
Any Chance getting the rough Route from you? I found the SCC Website with the trip - would be interested doing this from Germany self guided
Sadly the route is the IP of the tour company so I am unable to share. There are however quite a few NC500 guide books out there 👍
What an adventure - what was the road through the highlands (looking for some good driving roads)?
The Spittle of Glen Shea. Amazing road 👌
I’ve got a blue berghaus bag just like that 👍
Great choice 👌
Fort William to Mallaig.. ace long fast road . AND the Harry Potter Bridge
Doing it next August but in a camper van for 10 days. lol
Lovely 👌
have come here from car throttle's NC£500 challenge - this is the opposite end...
Evening all…
Are you gonna share with us any of the ‘posh’ hotels?
I’ll try to remember to put them in the description of Part 2 next week 👍
They look like brothers.
Brothers from another mother 😜👍
👋🏼 Evening fellas! I hope you are all doing well. It's such a pain that my life currently coincides with these 6pm uploads. Sending Big Love to y'all Inc Ped!
Thanks my lovely 🙏🏻
@@PetrolPed 😘xxx
£1.50 a litre for V power was what I paid a few weeks ago, it is now nearly £1.50 for the E10 stuff
I know 😢🤬
Did David Bush get rid of his green AMR 58 Vantage? Or is he up to 4 Astons?
Yes. That one has gone and this Vantage is only going to be around a few months until another very Special Vantage arrives 😜
@@PetrolPed aw. That makes me sad. I love that color combo and styled my own (previous gen) vantage after the AMR cars (since they didn't exist over here in the US)
270 miles in 1 day Bahahaha, you make us Aussies laugh mate. We drive that far on a picnic day. Enough pisstake tho bc this was a great episode. cheers for your chanel
😂😂😂
"Me in a GT3" (said twice). Oh Pete lol
Just wishful thinking 😂
@@PetrolPed I don't know, I think the GT4 is better.
We need to savour the sound of these engines before they soon become a relic of the past as nearly all manufacturers now seeming to be focusing on the imminent replacement of their ICE cars with pure EVs.
You couldn’t have done that trip in an EV at the moment 👎
“Me in the GT3” ……..not quite 😉
Just wishful thinking 😂
Hello mate
Hi 👋
I’d kill for fuel at 1.50 a litre now 😂
Me too 👍
Ped doing the NC500 at the same time - Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Evening all 👋
Evening Ben!
Hi@@francoisg3500 . Great video, drone footage was excellent. Hope you are well?
@@benhigginson9763 I’m good thanks. Currently at a Premier Inn near Silverstone.
Hi Ben 👋
Hi@@PetrolPed . Enjoy your holiday with Mrs Ped 👍🏖️
Me in the GT3 ?
Done many of those roads, video or pics cant do the scenery justice but they can encourage others to get up there to see it for themselves. Mind the sheep.
Yep. Watch out for sheep and Highland Cooos 😜😂
Cool vid as always sir. See you have found FPV! 👌 My email offer still stands if you want more FPV footage Peter. 👍
It wasn’t mine, it belonged to Marcus on the trip. I’ve still got your offer 👍👍
Evening all
Hi Robert 👋
Hi
Hi 👋
I’m sure other people have said it but that is so wrong the seating position he’s driving in it’s like he’s driving a bus. Going to do the same NC 500 for our honeymoon now brand-new TT
Not sure I understand your point. What is wrong with my driving position. The GT4 has one of the best driving positions of any road car 🤷♂️

Not yours , your co driver , but later you explained he was vertically challenged , sorry for miss understanding
I'm not a fan of the A7 in the rain, but the M74 gets boring, so...
You lucky lucky git..... But heh, I’ve always said...... Good things happen to good people.......
Let your buddy drive!!?? Not fair eh? Did you let him drive?
Yep 👍
