Rather than a leaping jaguar?

 

Was tempted to drive up, but the sky looked very dark and I've got a show tomorrow anyway. Hope you enjoyed it, but you take the Westy?

I decided against it as the weather forecast wasn't great, and sure enough it did rain.

 

I've taken Westy in previous years and parked up in the vicinity, but not this time.

 

It's worth calling in if you have a spare hour (that's legitimately all the time it takes) but I wouldn't drive a long way for it.  The was a mix of classics, yanks and modern classics.  Interestingly they do seem to get new cars every year so it's not just always the same cars.

Tiger Avon at Lanark Car Show.

 

It's not a model that I know much about but it seemed ok after a quick look.

A few of us have come to watch the rally stages at Castle Combe Circuit today. Here’s a couple photos of my favourites so far.

Went to see a private car collection yesterday in Glasgow. 

 

Amazing to think it's all one man's cars. There must've been £100 million on display yesterday and apparently there are another two storage facilities!

 

They were packed in which meant some pretty special cars were hard to see and they were all in immaculate condition.

 

Sorry its a bit photo heavy.

That's amazing, what an experience. I had no idea such a thing existed in Scotland. We're the tickets reasonable

Yes the tickets were only £10, but sold out within hours. 

 

It was really remarkable, the number of cars combined with their condition was unreal. Never seen a Maclaren Senna before and never will again and the carbon on the Pagani was unreal too. 

 

If they do it again I'll definitely try and go back.

@Craigieboyi would of had a drive up had I known of such a collection existing. Registered my email incase they do it again some time in the future. Looks like a great day out

Yes, there was talk of doing it again and hopefully they will. It won't disappoint, we kept repeating ourselves about the condition of the cars, way better than any museum I've been at.

 

A few more to whet your appetite.

Not really a Yank car fan tbh, but that is very tidy. A credit to its owner 👍

Likewise, but as you say, it was just in superb condition, sounded nice too.

I know it’s a little ‘cheaty’ due to my line of work, but had the pleasure of working on this at the weekend during the Spa 6 Hours.

 

Finished a slightly disappointing 8th (got 3rd last year), but a great week/weekend of motorsport!

Whilst the GT40 was a bit of a one off, my ‘regular’ cars were the Cooper Bristols and a Cooper T43. We were lucky that the sun came out for the race on Saturday!
