For the geographically challenged, the Lang Whang is the A70 between Carnwath and Edinburgh.

It's not exactly on my way home from the dealer's, but it's close enough....  :grin:

If it's a weekday when I pick it up then I will probably take the day off work.
As I live in North Wales there are some great drives around here, Snowdonia etc.
Should get me nicely aquainted with the new baby.
Another 5 weeks to go :smiley:

Definitely seems like a good idea to go home by the Lang Whang.  Because the direct road would include the Dolphinton Straight.

Berwickshire bike rider Neil Purves is accused of hitting 166 miles per hour along the one-mile stretch of A702 on May 13.

The 27-year-old from Cockburnspath was due to appear at Peebles Sheriff Court to face the charge.

But his legal firm - roadtrafficlaw.com - have asked for the case to be continued for four weeks while they investigate the allegations.

Routine patrols on the Dolphinton Straight snared about 20 drivers going over 100 miles per hour last year.

And similar speedtrap operations in the past few months have caught several more. Cameron Grost from Bassenthwaite, in Cumbria, this week admitted reaching 103mph on his motorbike on the same day as Mr Purves is alleged to have broken the Scottish speed record.
