Doune this weekend (20/21 June)

Who's going?

The June event is one of the highlights of my year, love it

[pewe]

We'll be there - probably Sunday .
Always told SWMBO I'd like to visit the land of my forefathers and as we both like hill-climbs it seemed silly not to.....
Staying just outside Gleneagles and hoping the weather's kind (we Southern softies don't take kindly to "bracing" weather).
Cheers, Pewe.

Sadly not, motor museum closed a good few years ago. It's now an antiques centre.

On the upside, Cafe Circa (within the antiques place) is a decent joint for some lunch

No museum anymore thats a shame

Do they still compete car club against car club on the grass in an autotest type relay event ?
that was great fun

and have a classic drive around the trossacks ?

+1 - excellent place. But they're packed out on a normal weekend, so will probably be impossible to get near on the day...

That must have been years ago we did that ..Doune Classic was run by a Porsche owner Tony Flint for many a long year I can go back to 1993 when I first attended a great event ...latterly became Callander Classic which ran for some time but sadly no more .Doune was always the highlight of the year for a lot of car clubs.We always did the run on the Saturday over the A833 single track road Armurlee to Kenmore where we held a mini highland games .The memories come flooding back

This looks like a similar type event, shame it's Jaguar only.
