Classic car clubs Aberdeen/shire

[7RMS]

I am soon to be the proud owner of an Austin Healey 3000 and wondered if there were any like minded chaps (clubs) in the Aberdeen/shire area. If there are some what kind of things do you get up to (meets, rallies, etc.)?

Aberdeenshire: Chiels not chaps!

I was going to say loons but thought it might get picked up the wrong way.
I also thought of Gadgies, but thought better of it since there were a few non-Doric speaking people residing in the NE and wanted to give them a chance to reply.

' Mannies '....is another local term but ' loons ' is probably the most regularly used...

Check when they close for the winter before planning a trip around a visit.
