It's this weekend, and it's a good one for Scotland. Anybody else going? We're planning on taking the Capri, so if you see a rust-gold Capri with black wings in the car park then feel free to admire it :lol:

Hopefully going to Billing, are you bringing the Capri to Scottish Ford Day?

Finally a show I can contribute to! went a few years ago after convincing that SWMBO "needed" to see Glammis castle - what an amazing show! huge variety of literally everything from steam to military to commercial to bicycles to cars - and I was there Saturday when more than 1/2 hadn't even arrived yet.

still have very fond memories.

Glad you enjoyed it! I've been going on and off for the last 15 years or so. I'm a lot more into my vehicles now than I ever have been though so I'm particularly looking forward this year! It'll also be the first time auto jumble will be of any interest!

I did however manage to pick up some HB lights (all 4 corners) :D
