Car show. Lauder. 2 June. With extras...

[GrahamF430]

Just a quick heads-up for the annual Thirlestane Castle Classic and Vintage car meeting on Sunday 2 June. Uusally over 1000 vehicles from Model T Fords to classic sportscar groups. Also the opportunity to get a passenger ride (12 miles of public road) in Ferraris, Nissan GTR, TVR, Jaguars, etc... for a donation to charity. This is organised through Sporting Bears (of which I am one and I'm taking the 430).

It's a great day out to see some very cool, mostly classic and vintage cars and there's usually a steel band, some side exhibits/dubious shopping opportunities and a hog roast.

About 30 minutes south of Edinburgh.

[Rocket City]

Although I'm from another region I've been checking this thread, many of Scotland's finest autos going?

[6C4GTS]

If it is dry I fancy giving this a look, is it a 1100 kickoff?

[paul450]

could be turning up with another 7 v8's

[ryanthescot]

This sounds good, I'll be there. Thanks for the heads up.

[GrahamF430]

It is mainly centred on classics/vintage but the weather looks great so it will be good day out if you want a run down. Do pop up and say hello...I'm parked up at the castle when I'm not taking people out

[kitchens2]

This sounds like a good day out. I was looking for something to do with my young lad tomorrow. We will enjoy the drive down from Edinburgh in the 997. Only came across this by reading the forum. Cheers guys !

[kmm]

In London at the minute, but if i can get away from here and get up the road then i might pop along with the family.

[GrahamF430]

It's a good venue, made much better by good weather. Lots of things to eat around and about and some very interesting cars. Dream Rides include the FerrariF430, Dodge Viper (Stuart), Ultima GTR and a Nissan GTR. Cost around £50 and it's on public roads, so don't expect full throttle if you are interested! Also appearing at the Dream Rides is a Rolls Royce Flying Spur, a few TVRs, Marcos Manara Spider, Cobra (replica), and so on.

A big thanks to all the guys who did the car runs but especially the Viper owner what an awesome car thank you,nearly as good as a Holden

[paul450]

had a cracking day there today. great weather and great cars.

[kowalski655]

Same here,great cars & weather,shame half the exhibitors pissed off at 4,after the judging happened,and they didnt win.
Wanted to treat the missus to a trip in the Diablo but she was having none of it. She also thought most of the really old stuff deserves to be scrapped!

Wise woman! There was no Diablo there!!! The exhibitors had to be on site before 10.30 am and some I was there just after 9 and many had arrived before me. It is a long day!

[BillyWhizz888]

Thanks

[Viper Stuart]

Hi Billy Remember you from a couple of years ago. You missed a good day. Had a good looking green n black cortina pick up in the mirror all the way back to glasgow and my first ever car was a 2000gxl. Those were the days!!!

[GrahamF430]

It was a good day. Paul decided to gatecrash in typical mafia style and stole the show! All good fun though and lots of money made for the charity. Knackered, we still managed dinner at India Quay and coffee at Tinderbox. Scared a few diners on Byres Road too with 20 cylinders between us!
I spoke to John Cleland for a while at the show; he'd brought the new F-Type to show off. Nice car, but I won't be accepting his offer of swapping the 430 for it. Lets see what depreciation does to the Jag first
