Car Shows 2026
Discussion
It seems to be the 1st of January, so Happy New Year!
As is becoming tradition, my first post of the year to enquire who is doing what car shows this year - Assuming you have even started thinking about it.....
Might be a bit of toning back this year - Inverness Performance Car Show is apparently not happening.
Some other events are just too early in the year to be venturing out in the salt and potential wintry weather - Aberdeen Autofest and the Highlander Track and Show for example.
Also, after a few years of shows, the concern over dog owners and their dogs at shows is mounting up. Last year, a Mustang next to me was badly scratched up a door at a show by a dog that was allowed to jump up on it, with the owner caring not a jot. And have seen too many dogs on extending leads with chains in the middle going round the corner of a car from where its owner is, scrubbing the chain around the corner.
So may be a case of avoiding ("dog friendly") shows whilst still ahead and with intact paint. Not sure why such a push on "dog friendly" car shows these days - Presumably to try an up the footfall and thus the gate takings. May try taking the car into the ring at Crufts this year to see what the reaction is!
