Event Cheap day out for all tomorrow (now with photies of cars and tractors and stuff)

[drum]

It's our wee club's annual BBQ tomorrow.

 

It's in Glenisla in Perthshire if anyone fancies a day out. Free entry and you even get a burger! If you're really lucky, it will be Tam or me who cooks/burns it for you.

 

Tam's photo tonight while we're setting things up.

 

Last year

 

 

We organise road runs and an off-road run in the morning.

[drum]

You'll get your car in the show field if it's half interesting, otherwise there's plenty parking and a nearby hotel and public bar.

 

Teas, coffees and bacon rolls on sale in the morning, organised by the hall committee.

Sounds great. Looks like a 400 mile round trip, which may not go down so well

[Inspector Morose]

As I’m in Dundee as I type this, I’ll leave the decision to Mrs FPB7 who’s lying beside me.

 

It’s been nice knowing you all.

[Tickman]

I'm hoping to come along tomorrow, not quite a 400 mile round trip for me.

[Saabnut]

I shall be there, forgot about it but my friend Simon just sent me an invite on FB. Plan to be there about 10 in time for the run, I am meeting Simon at McDonalds at Forfar at 0900.

 

Look for a cyclops Rover P4 and a little white noisy and smokey Saab Sonett!

Drum could you give a couple of weeks notice for next year? Sounds like a good meet but I haven't got a hope in hell of getting tomorrow off work unless I phone in sick, and even less chance of cobbling together the petrol money at short notice.

My bad sorry, I'll be better organised next year. It's the first Sunday in August every year for future reference.

[Flat4]

Shall put it in the diary, thank you

[The Moog]

Bumhats - am in Kinross bit off down south tomorrow as have plans later today.

And how have I just read this? I'd have came too. Hope you get a dry day for it.

Bugger, I've to have a quality* day with her indoors today or I'd have sneaked up

[DodgyBastard]

And the award for the rustiest shitter of the show goes to......

The 305 estate...

I've not seen as many disgusted looks from classic car owners since I took it to Cholmondley a couple of years ago.

 

It was a decent day out, the drive up was fun, the weather was nice and I got a free burger.

It's an owd car makes you wonder what the problem is. Miserable fuckers! I'd be more confused by the r8!!

[drum]

That was probably our busiest bbq yet with almost 200 vehicles. Not bad when there's only about 10 members in the club with an average age of 60 and we don't really advertise!

 

 

Unfortunately, the off-road run took longer than expected with a blown down tree blocking the track and two willies jeeps having an ftp and needing towed off the hill.

As a result, we were a bit late getting the barbie going.

 

Here are the tractors coming down off the run after I overtook them all while trying to get back to the field.

 

 

Sorry for not realising you were there foad and I hope you aren't too offended by whoever was giving your car dirty looks. Just realised your in one of my photos too. I must have been in a cloud of bbq smoke when you got your burger.

 

I did speak to saabnut, tickman and Alan with the 740 whose forum name I forget.

 

More pics to follow.

The sonnet getting lots of attention

 

[Matty]

Gilbern! My mum had a mark 2 invader when we were kids as an everyday car. First car we had (my dad had a van from work). Uncle had one at same time. Well on my wish list

[Saabnut]

Superb day out, please pass on my thanks to all who went to a lot of effort to put it on. One of my favourite events of the year.

[drum]

The wee Suzuki did well off road

 

My old croc performed well too

Shit, didn't realise it was so steep.

 

This V8 Pilot sounded ace

 

 

I might be buying this midget. Negotiations are on going (with the wife,as it will be hers;) )

[Tickman]

There was a massive range of stuff there, then the tractors came back!

[aldo135]

Hi Drum I’m Alan with the 740! Thanks for the heads up I really enjoyed this, spent most of the time chasing my kids round but saw a great selection of vehicles. Sorry I missed you Tickman, seen the Clio but again certain small people were not letting me stop for very long anyway!

[aldo135]

Some more...

[aldo135]

That’s me I think!

[320touring]

Looks like a grand day out!

 

What's the green pre war car ?

 

Brother and I passed it on the way home from the unit and gave them a toot and a wave - a glorious thing!

[richardmorris]

That’s me I think!

And don’t you look pretty in your blue dress!

[aldo135]

Haha! Didn't think that through... She was running from the skeleton in the passenger seat!

[Saabnut]

The light green pre war car was a Talbot.

 

Current owner paid £12.6.0 for it a mere 52 years ago! My offer to more than double his money at £25 was rejected on the grounds he has spent over 40k on it since.

I think the issue is I don't know what you look like otherwise I would have said hello, I spotted Saabnut while I was waiting in the queue for the burger and saw Tam as I got to the front, I saw Aldo too. 

As for the dirty looks from the classic car purists, it's kinda expected when you bring a rusty unwashed 305 to a classic show, you know when the majority of people are walking right by it to lust over an Audi R8, the 305's just not going to be appreciated.

It wouldn't put me off going again, I only wished I'd got to go on one of the runs/offroading but I was late in getting up there.

It was a vision of a future I desire:)
