Not whiskey but potholes.
Most people on Skye would agree that our roads are worse than some third world places. Get off of Skye and things get better.
In the last 6 or 7 years I've had 3 rear coil springs brake. Two on my previous car and now one on the current one.
We go home from Stirling last week (not towing) and just turned into the driveway when there was an enormous 'Dong' which resonated around the car. Its booked into the local garage on Thursday.
I took the rear wheels off this morning so that I could give the garage more details about the problem and yes, the offside coil spring is fractured at the bottom.
Some of the potholes are so bad that if you listen closely to them you can hear 'Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho' etc and the sound of tiny pickaxes.
I've got to know the worst spots and avoid most of them but more appear in the bad weather and in the dark and rain its not always easy to avoid them, especially when there's a vehicle coming the other way.
Its possible to claim from the Highland Council but proving the damage was done by the bad roads isn't easy.
