    Tony Penman wrote a new post, Stirling & District Classic Car Show 2022, on the site Ayrshire Classics Car Club 2 weeks, 6 days ago

    After missing a couple of years (akin to most shows) it was great to see Bridge of Allan appear as a destination weekend in the calendar.

    This was a show, run by the Stirling & District Classic Car Club, that I […]

      Hi Tony. This looks like a great show that we should be attending as a club, in stark contrast to the Saint Kentigerns church fete where 2 vehicles managed to turn up. Regards, Ian.

    A foray across the border to celebrate Spring!

    An 8am start for the 100 (ish) mile trip to Carlisle to attend the 2022 edition of ‘Retro Toyota Day’ – only my daughter was up in time to go with me.  The rest of […]

    FBHVC Stand

    The first stand to greet you if you entered at Hall 5 (and let’s be honest, Starbucks is directly next to the entrance so that’s where I was) is the display for the FBHVC – Federation Village as it […]

    I guess in Hall 1.  The wonderful ‘Lancaster Insurance’ display was a must visit as was Jensen Owners Club.  Porsche were very well represented as were M […]

    Distinguished Gentlemen Driving Dapper

    Despite the short notice, 6 Dapper Gents set off from Rugby Park to raise funds and awareness for Men’s Health.

    More paper-bound time capsules!

    We’ll round off this short series of articles with something slightly different – Collections.

    A rather significant proportion of car fans also seem to be avid collectors of […]

    Tony Penman wrote a new post, Yet more Old Cars in Old Magazines, on the site Ayrshire Classics Car Club 12 months ago

    This month we find ourselves in 1977

    The publication is ‘Thoroughbred & Classic Cars’ which you’ll recognise these days as ‘Classic Cars Magazine’ although it still bears its original name beyond these […]

    Back to the 60’s with a bang this time (hopefully not a backfire!)

    Tony Penman started the topic Mondeo – Modern Classic or not? in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 2 months ago

    I’ll put my hand up here – One of the best cars I’ve ever owned was a pearlescent black 1995 Ford Mondeo hatchback which came from factory with Cosworth Alloys and an ST24 bodykit. It was fully loaded with all the gadgets of the day (to which I added a Sony CD Multichanger and some Alpine 11×9’s in the parcel shelf – I know. Vandalism). A year…[Read more]

    A slightly newer magazine in this post….

    Dad, What’s that you’re reading?

    Oh, just some car magazines a friend lent me.   “They look quite old” came the reply.

    Yes, they’re from 1964 & 1965.    “That’s older than you – Old magazines with old cars in th […]

    Tony Penman commented on the post, Keith Hall – RIP, on the site Ayrshire Classics Car Club 1 year, 5 months ago

    This is awful news at any time of year, let alone Christmas.
    I used to enjoy our chats at get togethers…
    Gutted for Andrea, Ray & the family. Thoughts with all of you.
    My FaceBook Messenger inbox will be a much quieter and less funny place without Keith around.
    Rest in Peace my friend

    The MOT Test had its 60th Birthday on the 12th of September 2020 and, like the rest of us, it has undergone some changes over the last 6 decades!

    The Test was introduced on Monday 12th September 1960 – 60 […]

    Tony Penman replied to the topic To MOT or not to MOT? in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 8 months ago

    Good stuff. Glad it’s sorted. On the MOT Test (Which coincidentally is 60 years old today!), the Lotus wouldn’t be subject to a modern test, rather it would be subjected to the standard test of the day, so no emissions other than ‘does it smoke badly’ and brake biases / headlight heights / condition. The Govt. position seemed to be that classic…[Read more]

    Hi Alan,
    When the new rules came in, my 1966 MGB was automatically ‘rolled over’ to the new reality.
    The V11z is the new version of the V11 for vehicles attracting a ‘zero’ rate of tax.
    Not all ‘zero’ tax vehicles are historic. As far as I’m aware, electric vehicles will get a V11z too and if they are over 3 years of age, they need an MOT…[Read more]
