Title: Vehicle show pics (no FJ content)
Post by: mz_rider on July 09, 2011, 05:47:35 PM
I went to a classic vehicle show today at Glamis Castle in eastern Scotland. I arrived in a downpour and had to ride a good distance across very muddy fields to the bike parking area - not good on the FJ. There are some the interesting bikes on show.

My favourite car was this beautiful Cooper MG - note the coffee cups to keep the rain out of the carbs.

must be the location (where it rains a LOT) but here in the states you would never see anyone leaving their classic bikes sitting uncovered in the rain like that.

nice pics  :good2:


KOokaloo!
