Classic Car show?

[skyedriver]

Am I correct in thinking there is a big Classic Car show up at Alness sometime?
Anyone know when?

Aaahh Bugger!
Actually not sure but sounds likely. Just looking for a good car show to visit to get me away from the cement and brick dust. (Might take the dirty nappy maker with me!)

You could always try the Shiedaig fete in August - There will be at least one nice car there

[skyedriver]

Be there or be square, will try to arrange it, young sir. Seafood Stew at the bar??

[GetCarter]

I'm the official photographer - so I'll be going round with a very (very) long lens... but I'm sure I can stop at the bar for a quick pint!

August - when? We'll be in the UK doing the usual trip round parents/family/rellies and trying to wear out a hire car, and the North West corner is our one window of sanity in the whole frantic exercise. The ceilidh in Drumbeg Village Hall last year was surreal on so many levels...

This year will be slumming it in the Loch Torridon instead!

Hi Jon

Sat Aug 5th (worth checking with me close to the time as it just might move). Typical Highland event - lots of booze, games, booze, food, music and booze.

Last years event here: www.stevecarter.com/2005fete/index.htm

edied to add - Torridon is a slum isn't it... you poor thing:

Hi Steve

Argh, double b**ger! Won't be in Scotland till around the 21st, and in that part of the world until a week or so later. Ho hum.

Having survived the Caithness County Show and the Dounby Show amongst others, I know what you mean...

Well at least I'll be living up there full time by then (If I'm not I'll be broke and/or homeless) - If you see a black Aston Vantage... It's me.

[joncastle]

Steve, I'll be looking for it! IONA indeed.

BTW - how on earth do you insert a picture into a post (such as the Loch Torridon shot above) - I've been wanting to post some images for a while, but my Mac Safari window doesn't appear to have any mechanism for inserting or adding any kind of graphic other than smileys.

Jon

OK, ignore the question, found it. But formatting codes??? How quaint.

OK, let's try this...

Oh, I know. Can't wait!

re: try this... sometimes Ted's site doesn't like a cut and paste.. try typing it letter by letter.

Steve

[joncastle]

Fraid not. It's a combination of lack of host, html illiteracy, yahoo! photos not liking direct linking and not being 12 any more!

Memo to self: must set up own website!

Thanks for the suggestion though.
