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.

Johnstone Fire Rally

The Renfrewshire annual Fire Rally came to Johnstone this year.

It was very well attended and nice to see the pipe band leading the appliances to the Square.

It's a pity the weather took a turn for the worst but the kids seemed to be having rare old time with all the flashing lights and the noise of the klaxons.

We had some local dignitaries in attendance and the provost was called on to participate in some of the demonstrations.

Thanks are due to all the volunteers for making the event such a success.

Vintage Festival - Merchant City in Glasgow

After my time at Pacific Quay I headed across the town to the Vintage Festival in Merchant City.

The festivals at Merchant City are always vibrant and fun though I was a little later in getting here than planned.

The Kennedy Cupcakes very kindly posed for me, and then I had the pleasure of watching them perform to the sound of the big band era.

Scottish Western Thoroughbred Vehicle - Car Event in Greenock

After seeing the participants in the Gumball Rally it was a run down to Greenock to see cars of a more vintage sort.

The event was very well attended and the owners were friendly and informative as they chatted about their pride and joy.

More importantly perhaps, it managed to sat dry.
