A friend and I both have time off tomorrow and seeing as the weather looks terrible we would like to do something cars/motoring related that's interesting and indoors.

We're located in west central Scotland. Can anybody come up with any good ideas as to what we could do on a rainy Tuesday. We don't mind travelling to get there either.

Wouldn't bother with Doune Motor Museum. It closed about 10 years ago. Missus took the kids there earlier this year. Was shocked when I found out.

The David Coulthard museum is in Tynholm near Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway.

Just looked at the website and unfortunately it's only open at weekends at the moment.

Feck! Glad I got there years ago when it was still open. Wonder what happened to all the cars? Bit of a shame with the Glasgow museum of transport being shut while they move buildings.

Means the only other central belt ish car museum I can think of is the one out near Gullane. And a tiny pants one near Melrose somewhere.

Back to the op - Jim clark room in Duns, Berwickshire? Hour and a bit drive down some good roads.

There is a small one in Bo'ness. I took my eldest to Doune about four years ago and ended up just having a spot of lunch in the Antique place's (or whatever it was) cafe before coming home frown
