Car Shows 2024
Discussion
Aye, the nights are fair drawin oot, so time to think about what to do in the summer! 
Who is going to what this year? Or what's even on?
Challenger will be going back to the Buckie Car Show in August, and just registered for the Inverness one in May. Will take the Monaro too if I still have it then. Word at the Buckie show last year was that it was way better than the Aberdeen one, so not sure if that means the Aberdeen one is worth a look at or not. It wasn't getting very favourable reviews from folk at Buckie, but all opinions welcomed!

Any take on this one?

Not the biggest of shows judging by the aerial pics, but its not far down the road, even from Orkney. Just not sure the widebody will fit too well sideways on a karting track!

In years gone by as part of one of the Highland hoons organised on here that track was used as a campsite and the track was used by wuite a few participants. There was everything from an Ariel Atom on toyo 888s to a Ford Mustang going round. https://www.facebook.com/Thehighlandertracknshow/

Its wider than it looks.
Lots of quite well south ones being listed here. So, confirmed attendance so far for the year;
- Highlander Track and Show - Golspie - 14th April
- Inverness Performance Car Show - 19th May
- Applied for the Aberdeen Car Show on 4th August, but not hearing anything back from them, so that's likely to make the decision, and it will be the Orkney car show again this year which is on the same weekend
- Buckie Classic Car Show - 25th August
While not strictly a show (although the cars will be assembled before, at lunch and after) the Perthshire Classic Tour is coming up on 21st April.

Looks to be an interesting mix of cars and raises money for charity.

Here's my list, furthest south we're venturing at the moment is Glamis
Cars@Cairnglass, St Combs 18th May - first time
Inverness Performance, 19th May - not going this year, just too much on, see above. Went last year, decent show.
Errol - 9th June - not sure yet, again a busy time for us
Thompson Rally. Stonehaven - 30th June oops, forgot about this.
Glamis 13th/14th July - went on Sat last year with club, probably Sunday this year
Alford Cavalcade - 21 July - not booked in yet, but I'm in Alford so probably. Not a big show like it was back in the day... yet.
Aberdeen performance, Castle Fraser 4th Aug - went last year. On a par with Inverness - same organisers?
Buckie 25th Aug. Good show, awards to be had

Hmm, not sure how I managed to get those dates, looking again it looks like the dates aren't confirmed yet.Gassing Station | Scotland | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
