Err no, it is my wedding aniversary.....need I say more!

My poor car is still in bits in the bodyshop. I think I’ll have to play Forza on my Xbox on Sunday and at least give my virtual copy a hoon instead!

MG B isn't quite ready for the road yet, but I'll be out in the Alfa with the Alfa Owners club in the Borders. Shame the forecast isn't quite hood down weather.

There's an Aberdeenshire run organised by Garioch Vehicle Restoration Society - details here ... although, I think the P&J says 09:30.

Cheers,

Eric

Leave it until about 2pm to get the drink out of your system, then get the Cobra out for a hood down drive to blow the cobwebs away, nothing better I find!

this sounds good-will keep this in mind. I bought a fur lined 'deputy dog' hat in iceland, t'would be a great chance to air it in scotland.

Erm, is this a PH thing?

I ask as there is no "Edinburgh Cruise" organised for this weekend, or any other time soon - i.e. The Lothian & Borders Police/Hermistion Gait Retail Park management approved evenings down at Hermiston.

American, custom and hot rod meet on sat at craigleith KFC. First of the year.

Now that would be good for a nosey, but I'm at a wedding!

[VetteG]

Sorry it's not a meet, mind you I'm not saying you cant have one! Drive it day is the idea of the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, they have been doing this for several years, you can read about it here: http://www.fbhvc.co.uk/drive-it-day/

But the idea is to get everyone with a classic or vintage car to get it out on the road on drive it day. My lasting impression of last year was of a lady of 'a certain age' driving her Lagonda 1930's tourer near Pitlochry, with the hood down, in the rain with a bloody great smile on her face! To me that epitomises Drive it Day, just get it out and drive it like it should be driven!
