They decided to hold up motors on a busy road as a prank, and recorded themselves mocking and making vile sexual comments about a local who confronted them.
Raging residents say they have reported the stunt to cops to avoid anyone else doing the same in future.
A local said: “Needs arrested. What a k**b.”
Another added: “They saw the Highlands as their own personal Disneyland.
“Many will view their trip as nothing but boyish fun but I thought their antics were disrespectful.
“Obstruction of traffic is illegal and their act was potentially dangerous.
“They should have remembered they were guests in someone’s home.”
David hired a motorhome in Manchester and drove north with friends Dean and Hunter.
Their plan was to explore the NC500 and then post videos online for their army of fans on Tiktok and Youtube.
They were delighted when they stumbled across a lollipop man’s hut at the side of the A9 in Helmsdale, Sutherland.
Dean filmed himself opening the lock and then putting on the high-vis uniform before standing in the middle of the key road.
The clip shows him pretending he has an ear piece as he stops a truck and a huge line of cars.
He says: “I don’t know why there’s a booth with a stop sign.
“David just said hold up the traffic as long as I could. I have to keep pretending I’ve got an ear piece to make it like it’s part of the job.
“I feel a little bit awkward. This is like the daily life of the NC500.”
The guys in the motorhome recorded themselves howling with laughter at the stunt.
Afterwards one of the passing motorists honks his horn.
But a happy Dean says: “I stopped them for ages didn’t I? I say that is a mission well done.”
As they attempted to drive away they were stopped by a local who confronted them.
They lied and claimed they stopped traffic to try and save a sheep that had wandered on to the road.
In the clip she can be heard telling them: “Not cool. Don’t post it online. You’re chancers.”
The video then shows the laughing crew calling her a Karen and mocking her.
On Youtube, one follower said: “I had to stop watching at the point where you held up the traffic.”
While another viewer said: “These are the actions of infantile fools. There is nothing funny about this. We are doomed if this is where humanity is headed.”
At the end of the trip David revealed he is planning to return and issued an open invite to anyone who wanted to join him and his pals
He said: “It’s been an amazing trip. There is more to do.
“Me and the boys have planned to go on a car trip in a couple of month. If anyone wants to join in on that please feel free.”
David told how he wants to say sorry to anyone upset by the stunt and claimed there were animals on the road, although they do not appear in the videos.
He said: “I have been contacted by the truck driver who thought it was funny, and also some of the people who work at the school.
“But I understand some people don’t have my sense of humour.
“We held the traffic for a very short time. There were sheep in the road and we made it a little safer while they crossed to not stress the animals out.”
He revealed he’s had threats and his address leaked online as part of the backlash to his visit.
David added: “It was my first time visiting the NC500 and it was one of the best routes I’ve driven in my life.
“Some of the roads are challenging and I’m extremely happy we came out of season as I can imagine in the summer the locals would be very frustrated.
“What people see on the internet is one percent of what actually happens.
“I have been brought up to show respect and the people we met along the route were nothing but friendly, amazing and fun.”
