Yep, at the Old Mill Inn, I rather stupidly got lost on the way to Cairn o Mount & poor Sandy was following me, we ended up in Stonehaven lol

Looks like I missed some good photos up there, I was going to take Neil's car back up for the next photo meet but it didn't happen, cracking photos anyway!

The Nikasil debate is pretty well dead by now. Early V8s had Nikasil blocks, and there were a few failures, primarily in the US, due to high sulphur fuel, and around town driving.

On the 7 series forum you will find loads written about it, but in fact, no one can remember the last failure. Low sulphur fuel has been on the go in the UK for years.

 

Mine is at 132k, and still idles like new.
