Knockhill Motor-Fair
Discussion
Why, when you can go to Fintray hillclimb the same weekend? Grampian Automobile Club have 100+ entries for this event, which has competition runs on both Saturday and Sunday. Entry includes the likes of John Stevenson with 500+ bhp in a roadgoing Scooby, and there is a rumour that the Predator V10 might make an appearance if they can get the Arrows GP engine back in the car in time...
And Stiglet will be there with his new toy, too!

I think the concessions / free tickets last year were obtained in the Daily Record (or one of the other daily comics).
No idea if the same deal will be available this year, though.
We'll be going along for 2 reasons:
1: It's virtually on our doorstep;
2: I've no idea what the Fintry hillclimb is all about....
Maybe see you there. Maybe not.

I went last year and it was pretty good - the main attraction being the 2003 Ferrari F1 car and Enzo FXX running on track. Not sure about this year tho. Got the guide to it today in The Sun and have to say it's not grabbing me. The main attractions seems to be the launch of the new Mondeo, some stunt shows and face painting - hmmmm. They're really pushing the 'family day out' angle this time. Rio Prestige are going to be there - always nice to see the Supercars but are we going to see them thrashed round the track? Dunno whether to bother this year...

Hey guys. I will be there with my Canon Powershot S3 IS . Hopefully the zonda (9GJ) will be there and can't wait to see rio's Spyker
Anybody know what other cars will be there? Will the FXX be there this time or was it a one off like last time? Any info on cars that will be there would be appreciated.
Thanks

Carlo from Topgear-cars will be there as usual with a few Lambos.......I'll be there with mine plus a few others I think...Reckon there'll be quite a few Bulls showing up.
There is no Formula 1 presence this year or FXX on track which is a shame. The supercars will be getting thrashed round the track at regular intervals though! Main attraction seems to be Jet-Pac man!
I was at KH yesterday and Merc where there delivering all thier cars, very nice SL63 AMG and loads of others.
They have also lined up a major celebrity to open the show!!!
I will be wandering about taking pics for Knockhill all weekend.Getting a sneak preview later in the week, so will post a few pics up!

Thank you for the link.
Alas it doesn't do anything for me.....
It looks like I'll be at Knockhill - may even pop in to get a quote from the Extreme Detail blokes (if I can persuade the wife & kids that we should take 2 cars up).
