VisitScotland - Classic and Sports Cars Welcome Scheme
Discussion
My dad just got this application form for his hotel:
http://www.visitscotland.org/classic___sports_car_...
Does anyone have any experience of this? It looks great to me, but I don't know if it is a new thing or how long it has been going. Any ideas?
Certainly something I will help my dad get sorted in the hotel.
If link doesn't work:

CLASSIC AND SPORTS CAR
WELCOME SCHEME
Scotland is often seen as an ideal destination for those visitors with a passion for touring Scotland in classic and sports cars.
Various clubs and groups, which include veteran, vintage, classic and modern sports tourers, choose Scotland as the ideal location. Dramatic scenery, attractive and open roads, a wide variety of visitor attractions and accommodation with genuine hospitality really make Scotland a must visit destination.
These vehicles are the pride and joy of the visitors who invest time and money lovingly restoring and caring for them. It is important to them when touring Scotland that they feel confident their vehicle is safe and secure. Providing a number of extra services and facilities will add to visitor comfort, enhance experience and make touring Scotland by car even more special.
Classic and sports car tourists may travel individually, or with a group on an arranged tour, enjoying the scenery and open roads. Visitors choose different types of accommodation from serviced to self catering to meet the needs of their group or themselves.
To be eligible for the scheme should provide the following and your Quality Advisor will verify that the required facilities exist when they visit.
CLASSIC AND SPORTS CAR WELCOME SCHEME FOR ACCOMMODATION
1. Suitable car parking (with security provision – preferably off road and private)
2. Knowledge of nearest workshop facilities (with provision of some tools in metric, imperial and Whitworth)
3. List of local garages/mechanics with knowledge of classic/vintage or sports cars
4. Car wash facilities (on site or nearby)
5. Use of car cleaning equipment (rags, soft cloths, old towels, sponge, bucket)
6. Use of car vacuum
7. Water supply and use of small watering can/jug
8. Access to electrical supply (for battery chargers, etc)
9. Degrease handwash facilities on site
10. Listing of visitor attractions and refreshment stops in the area
11. OS maps with scenic or interesting day tours, books and magazines
12. Location of petrol stations – opening hours, Sunday opening, type of fuel available

Wow, someone with half a brain. Fantastic idea and well put i reckon.
Nothing better than going all that way and having confidence you'll be able to complete your weekend's driving if you do have a slight misshap. And also not be seen as a trouble maker because there is a few of you.
Am pleased to see that from VisitScotland.

We enjoy going away for weekend's when we can with our wedge's. So when someone come's up with an idea like that then we're in !! providing the price's are reasonable for the w/end stay. ps-- better having a lot of reasonable w/end's than 1 or 2 dear w/end's through the year, it's all down to taking the car's out more [ any excuse].
Cheers john.
