Mearns Vintage Vehicle Club annual show: 29-08-10

[dinomito]

Cheers folks for the great early response. I know it's short notice, but it's usually a good show with plenty interesting metal to see. Maybe not quite as exotic as Sunday at Hopetoun, but our bella's will raise the bar for sure.
Cheers

No problems! Do you think my GTV may be a bit more appropriate? It's not as old as Mike's, but could be regarded as more of a classic than my Brera? It's not quite concours condition though, but buffs up well after a wash....

[dinomito]

Yeah, bring the GTV Simon. It'll be good to see it again, as I've not seen it since our early year thrash up to Ballater!

[rcollie]

On the map there is an 'Inch of Arnhall' near Edzell. Is that the place?

[dinomito]

Yeah that's it mate. It will be well signposted from the main road.

[dinomito]

Just a wee bump for this one folks. Signs are all up from the A90 so you shouldn't miss it. 6 yes's so far, any advance from the maybes?
I will be there early to get the AO flag up so it'd be nice to have a great turn out.
Cheers
Graham

[Fast Frank]

And take a camera with you Graham. We want photies

[rickyw]

I quite fancy taking a run up, but can't promise anything. Is 9AM the latest entry to be part of the display?

[dinomito]

Nah Ricky, ye can turn up whenever you want mate. Just go in the exhibitors lane when you come in and look out for the flag. Just hope the weather does us a wee turn.

[rickyw]

Cool! If it looks good i'll try to get along.

Yes, but will there be signs from the B966!! Simon, looks like you and I will need to have a convoy from Auchenblae! I've no idea where we're going!

[rickyw]

Don't think I'll manage to get up. Enjoy yourselves guys!

[dinomito]

8 yes's! That's terrific folks, and if Phil makes an appearance that'll be 9!
Watch out for a wee wifey on the gates. She will probably say "oh look it's an Alfie jist ging in!" It's my Mum, and she'll direct you to where you need to be.
Just to confirm as well gates open at 9am for exhibitors and it's only £2 entry as well. The black Giulietta Lusso Multiair is on my drive so it'll be good to see the response it gets from some new fowk. We also have the Alfaowner flag too, Fraser kindly dropped it off to me in Perth today (cheers to Fraser and Sheona for that one)

See you all tomorrow then folks, hope the weather is kind.
Cheers
Graham

Sorry I didn't make it folks, hope it was a good day!

[dinomito]

It was a bit of a disaster with the wind and rain. People were starting to go home before 12 it was that bad. On a normal year the gate would take in something like £2500-3000 but it didn't even break £700 this year.
Hope it's better next year!

[mymito10]

That's a shame Graham as £700 isn't really that good - there was a good turn out of vintage vehicles though and had the weather been better it would have been a brilliant day

Will order good weather in plenty of time for next year though

Apologies for not making it in the end. It was a real shame about the weather on Sunday, a weird mix of gales, rain and sun.

Is it likely to make it back on your drive at somepoint? It would be good to get a nosey at one without the trip to Perth.

I hope to make a sunday morning run when organised, the pub meets have been a no go since moving out of the city south to Laurencekirk and a heavily pregnant wife (car sharing).
I am sure junior when arrives will love a sunday morning blast.

[dinomito]

It's on my drive right now Alex, and I stay in Laurencekirk! I get my new company car today though (MiTo Lusso 1.3 Jtdm) so I would need to arrange to take it up the road for a future meet if you wanted. I will need to wait before I get to run my own Giulietta. It's a terrific car.
