[captain_70s]

WARNING. MUCH PICTURES. VERY PHOTOBUCKET. WOW. WILL MOST LIKELY BUM YOUR WEB BROWSER TO DEATH.

So the show season is upon us and all my cars are fucked. Nice.
 
Hopped in the Honda this morning and popped to Buckie to see how the, well publicised, "Summer show" was going to be. Last year there were gale force winds, heavy rain and sub-zero temps, this year was far more summery with overcast skies and light rain making the entire thing feel very Scottish. Wish I had a convertible to fully enjoy it.
 
Here is a sample of the cars on show:
 
Firstly some very old cars which looked pretty but are probably a bit naff to drive.



 
Unmolested Mini, worth billions.
 

 
Mint 28,000 mile Maxi. Going into storage soon so it doesn't top 30k.
 

 
Old skool Ford. Belongs to the father of somebody I work with. Minty, never welded.
 

 
Is there life on maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars?
 

 
Proper Yorkshire car, built to last.
 

 
Nova, well sick, innit.
 

 
Triumph 2000, love these.
 

 
Fancy Minx, Humber Sceptre edition. Owner has a scruffy Dolly Sprint and likes to go fast, he's ditched it twice since I saw him last year!
 

 
Daaaaaaw, it's a kitten!
 

 
Daily driver Herald.
 

 
Wover.
 

 
Yankee truck that was HUGE.
 


 
Mk1 Golf convertible, very tidy. Belongs to the recently retired former owner of my local motorfactors. I probably kept him in business with my 5L of oil per week...
 

 
Tina with rally lights.
 

 
Lancia with rally lights.
 

 
Erm, a Corsa B...
 

 
Chrome bumper Scim. Well tidy.
 

 
Rapier, not keen on the wheels.
 

 
Astra GTE. Nice but probably worth a small fortune.
 

 
This thing was VAST. Didn't realise they were so expansive...
 

 
Carlton, with Lotus bits.
 

 
Herald 13/60. I want it.
 

 
A brace of Tigers. These belong to the owner of a local garage and he keeps them in the showroom.
 

 
Nice car, shit wheels.
 

 
This was really rather low...
 

 
So was this.
 

 
Fugly Vauxhall.
 

 
The people who arrived in this looked EXACTLY like the sort of people who'd own this. Harris tweeded up to the hilt and all with a matching Labrador... Very much the lord and lady of the land.
 

 
Ooooooooooooooooft. GT6.
 


 
106 Ralle. I thought it was cool, but I am of the Need for Speed generation...
 

 
This was parked outside the show, bit of a beast.

While at the show the owner of the Golf convertible mentioned that today's show clashed with a show in Forres, about 25 miles further down the road. I figured I'd pop over there as well, what with me being in the might Civic of boredom and all. On the way I passed quite a few high end motors going the opposite way, an old Bentley, 80s Ferrari, orange Mini with ladybug spots, etc.
 
I arrived and was greeted and a proper shite Jag in shite colour scheme.
 

 
Then this fucking thing which looked hilariously deadly.
 


 
Lovely Vitesse.
 

 
Badly proportioned Bond.
 

 
SuperRare SuperMinx estate.
 

 
Proper Mercedes.
 

 
Morris Minor of much yellowness.
 

 
Yank rubbish...
 


 
Mk2 Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.
 

 
Mint 1300, no Basil Fawlty present.
 

 
Mmmmmmmm, beige.
 

 
Pair of Cortinas.
 

 
I liked this Avenger GLS a lot...
 




 
Very pretty Elan Sprint.
 

 
ORION IN PROPER CLASSIC CAR SHOW SHOCKER.
 

 
Mk1 GTI.
 

 
Dyane of much yellow.
 

 
Proper Land Rover, from before footballers were ghey.
 

 
I also love these. Posh Morris Minor.
 

Adorable Austin 7.
 

 
The MX-5 owners club had taken the high ground, presumably ready to charge and mow down lesser cars.
 

 
This was the only NA and it was a bit shit...
 

 
'NOTHER NOVER. WELL GOOD, INNIT.
 

 
Viva 1300GLS. Prettier than my Dolly 1300, shame about the interior...
 

 
Esprit with garish K&N colour scheme. I really liked it.
 

 
Jag.

 

 
Cav, driven away by a little old lady.
 

 
Cortina Mk3 in rush problem shocker!
 

This was ace.
 

 
Bus.
 

 
As usual best cars were in the car park:
 

 
Then I drove home and missed a tractor...
 

[Aston Martin]

The Calibra is gorgeous you bastard.

[mercrocker]

Good work, excellent pics!

[Lacquer Peel]

The woman with the Cavalier and her husband are show stalwarts. I remember taking a picture of the Cavalier in Elgin and ignoring her husband's Mercedes SL. They have a nice Cavalier coupe as well if I remember correctly.

 

Great photos, I was doing nothing today, I should have popped through to Forres.

 

edit: here's the Cavalier couple

[captain_70s]

Ah, I've seen the Coupe before as well. I also ignored an Mercedes SL at Forres, probably the same one!

[Justin Case]

Top photography and two shows in one day , thanks for posting. But as for that 65 Mustang = Yank Rubbish, go and wash your mouth out

[vulgalour]

Corsa B at a classic car show.  YAS!  I told you it would happen.

[georgeinabz]

Is that Graeme Thom's Ford , he used to have a cracking Mk3

Good effort, a good spread (ooer) of cars. I can even see the appeal of Novas.

Aye it is. He mentioned having a Mk3 about 5 years ago, gone down to England now I think.

[cort16]

That blue coupe was for sale in a garage in town for ages.I looked at it, I even had tge money but didn't buy it as I think I was going through one of my "I hate old cars" periods. It wasn't mega expensive either.

[Twiggy]

Some grand photos there Cap`n. Please can I have the Roller ?

[Petrolize]

That couple tought me in Highschool, they mainly used the yellow one as haven't seen the blue one as much. Small world

[brickwall]

Some great photos mate. Glad to see the wee Buckie show is doing OK. Are you going to the biggie in August?

[Eddie Honda]

WARNING. MUCH PICTURES. VERY PHOTOBUCKET. WOW. WILL MOST LIKELY BUM YOUR WEB BROWSER TO DEATH.

 

The horse has already bolted. Your supposed to put the warning in the title ya bawbag!

 

Great pics and love this:

 

 

prefer one with more mastic round the windscreen and a faded yellow rag top though.

Are you from Badenoch, or Aviemore? Assuming they taught at Kingussie.

[captain_70s]

I'll probably turn up, it's only 5 mins up the road. Whether I'll have a car to show or want to pay the entry fee is another matter.

 

Loads more cars at Buckie than there was last year, the last August show I went to was a bit pants in comparison. I don't think that having to pay to display your car is doing it much good when the Summer Show is free...

I've actually missed quite a few deadlines for applying for shows so may well just not bother at all this year, my cars look crap anyway!

Marilyn Scott was a PE teacher at Kingussie High and is very active in the Cavalier and Chevette Club along with her husband Colin. The description under the picture of her Cavalier (been in the family since new) made me smile and I could imagine her response to being described as a 'little old lady'........

[Isaac Hunt]

That Mk1 Cortina, EHW257C struck me as similar to a car that someone on one of the car forums was looking for. Can't find the thread now, but it was a green mk1 cortina that had ended up as an orange scalextric themed car.

[warninglight]

orange Mini with ladybug spots, etc.

 

 

 

Did Andrew Wright get in touch? That was him and Cress in the Mini, and he asked me for your number. There's a picture of that Mini outside your house gates...

[Spottedlaurel]

GLS versions of the Avenger and Viva are both very nice. Amazing how a set of Rostyle wheels, extra chrome and twin headlights lift their appearance.

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Great photos. I've seriously got the horn for a GT6 at the moment. These photos aren't helping.

[captain_70s]

Aaaah, I though it might have been the same car. I sent him a message on another car forum t'other day asking if Cress was in Scotland but I don't think he's been online yet!

[michael1703]

Excellent photos, love the unmolested mini

Yes, from Kingussie originally
