Sounding out for this after the great run through Moffat and the Borders last year... Finding a handy mid-point is the main thing bearing in mind we've got [cloud9] in the north of England, Fife and the great Weegies (that we never see ) - I think the Borders is great for a spin Sunday 28th June through to Sunday 19th July doesn't suit me; any dates before or after then work for people?

Last year was awesome, great group of people. I'd love to tag along in the VX (again) but still on stork watch. Will monitor this thread with interest and envy.

Not that I have a working Italian car, but I'll keep an eye out also. Work might get in the way, of course.
End of July into August would be no good for me.

This is probably too far north for everyone – depends what the spread of people around Scotland is I suppose – but my girlfriend runs a castle in the Cairngorms.
Makes for a handy stopping point if driving north and we can arrange access for some nice photos in the castle grounds. The Morgan owners and Caterham clubs usually stop there. It’s on the A93, which is a cracking road through the mountains.

http://www.sre-scot.co.uk/Moffat-Classic-Car-Rally-Scotland.htmlhttp://www.bvac.org.uk/thirlestane/The Moffat show is 27th & 28th(so you could do the Sat Simon) and they have a drive on the same route we did last Summer. I was at the Thirlestane show last year and it was very impressive. Absolutely huge range of cars and car clubs from all over Scotland, Military vehicles, machinery, stalls, activities and stuff for non petrol heads too.. Different league from the Scottish Italian car show. Well worth a visit as a punter or as a Club ( free). Loads Great auto jumble Stalls. (I spent hours at them) They also have an arena where all cars clubs get to parade throughout the day. Check out the website.

Here is a Raw unedited Video diary straight off the camera to give you a flavour of the above mentioned event. Thirlestane show 2014 Think I may give it a visit again this year!

@ Graham. Good times. My Mrs and I can be seen in your first photo, about a quarter of the way in from the left. I see the legendary Graham and Penny far left too. Different day but same era, if I'm not mistaken you're dead centre here in Nardini's... @ Marko. Looks like a really good day out.

This is really annoying! Second year in a row I won't be able to attend this, as Mrs Ed has arranged a family get-together for grandson birthing celebrations - no way out

Since there's a bit of everything in this thread so far... Anyone doing the Tartan Tarmac breakfast meet on Sunday morning? Yep, I’ll be along there for a bit. Need to get back into Glasgow in plenty of time for the Gibson Street Gala though. Tartan Tarmac are a bunch of ex-Pistonheads guys who wanted to start up something on their own to try and run/promote car events in Scotland. On the last Sunday of every month (so, this weekend) they have a breakfast meet. It’s in one of the big car parks at Eurocentral, halfway along the mate. There’s a Berits & Brown deli that opens for us all to get bacon rolls and coffees and we get some cracking cars along. About half-nine onwards. This month there will be some detailing guys on hand offering discounts on their products. If you use Facebook, there’s an event page here.

Finding a handy mid-point is the main thing bearing in mind we've got members of FCCUK in the north of England, Fife and the great Weegies (that we never see ) Original wording redacted!

Probably the first couple of weeks will be pretty hectic - but dont work around me. My timings are all based around offshore things happening so it'll have changed by tomorrow.....
