Three Loch Classic Car Event

Today we have the Three Loch Classic Car Event and a lovely sunny and warm morning ensured everyone was in good spirits.

The Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club once again play host - this is their 12th year and a great setting.

The event started around 10:00 and the cars planned to drive through Helensburgh, Glen Fruin, Rosneath, and Arrochar, before tackling the old 'Rest and Be Thankful' then returning via Glen Douglas.

I'm unsure if the route was completed as their was a serious road traffic accident on the Loch Lomond road and there were long tailbacks as I headed home.

Scottish Western Thoroughbread Vehicle Club at Greenock

The SWTVC held another rally this year and again the cars were on display at Cornaless in Greenock.

Great to see these vintage cars in such good condition, and the owners and drivers were, as always, on hand and very generous in chatting about their pride and joy.

Nice friendly bunch and enjoyed my time.

Gumball 3000 Rally - Scotland

This year's Gumball 3000 Rally starts it's European leg in Edinburgh this morning.

The cars arrived at Prestwick Airport by plane on Saturday night.

I travelled down to Prestwick very early this morning to get some images to document the event.

Originally the cars were to leave at 07:30 but a few delays held things back till about 08:45 but it was worth the wait in the nice weather.

 Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, plus other manufacturers made their way through to The Mound for the start of the marathon drive to Ibiza.
