It’s with great pleasure that we confirm that the 2012 37th Scottish Transport Extravaganza will go ahead finally this year!! Get the dates in your diaries and keep your eyes peeled for entry forms and further information in the next few weeks! Saturday 7th and Sunday 18th July
A massive range of makes and models spanning over 100 years of motoring history will be on display at Glamis Castle this weekend.
A record number of entries were received by Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club (SVVC) for the Saturday and Sunday Scottish Transport Extravaganza, which is expected to attract a five-figure crowd.
The vehicles cover all forms of motoring from an 1881 Penny Farthing to a 520bhp Noble Works which was built by Lee Noble and previously owned by TV presenter James May of Top Gear fame.
A Series 1 Land Rover which once belonged to Castle Motors in Forfar – once the town’s biggest – will also be on display after being purchased and preserved by the club.
Visitors will come from across the world to attend the rally which takes in everything from bicycles and cars of every marque to military vehicles and articulated trucks.
Stephen Dear from SVVC said: “This year’s Extravaganza is the 43rd event to be held in the grounds of Glamis Castle and continues to be one of the premier vintage/classic vehicle rallies in Scotland and beyond.
“This year we have a record number of entrants over the weekend with approx 1,500 entries received.
“This year we also have 51 different car clubs covering all makes and interests displaying their vehicles.
“We have approximately 150 mixed traders selling a variety of wares and also a craft marquee.”
The ring entertainment this year will be the Joseph Peace Fire Stunt Spectacular – blending fire stunts with comedy in a fusion of modern circus and pantomime fun.

I love these small green masked, Green-winged Teals! This drake was just motoring along at the channel at Potter Marsh when I captured him.

This one was in a hurry on the Vic Uni Pond on this day last year.
On its release in March 1961 Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made". That really is a statement and one many enthusiasts agree with. The E-Type Jaguar was built from 1961 through until 1975 and when launched was able to claim a 150 mph capability. Blurring added in pp.

Float Homes in Mosquito Creek Marina, North Vancouver
Float homes [...] feature truly waterfront living with ocean or river views at a fraction of the price. Neighbours include herons, sea lions, bald eagles and many other forms of wildlife. While this style of living may not be for everyone, they do come in single family, apartments/condos, custom built or modular, prefabricated options. New models include the usual home amenities such as stainless-steel appliances, heated floors, soaker tubs, on-demand water heaters, and even rooftop decks. They follow stringent building codes, fire safety and environmental standards demanded by local, provincial and federal authorities. (Anne McMullin, Vancouver Courier)
Dr. Bonnie Henry: “Be kind, be calm and be safe”
This abandoned gas station in Borrego Springs has become a quintessential Instagram backdrop. I see whole amateur film crews pulling up and getting out to do a shoot. It wasn't quite all that when I took this shot in June, 2018. But maybe with a little creative artwork I can hitch it onto the fame train!
A disinterested horse plods along as an eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight rumbles through Bison, Montana, while crossing Marias Pass on the southern border of scenic Glacier National Park on September 7, 1999. Burlington Northern GE C30-7 No. 5581 leads a Santa Fe C40-8W and two BN EMD SD40-2s.

Motoring through Thwaite, Yorkshire Dales. Described as, "probably the oldest and toughest regular event for old cars, motorcycles and light commercials certainly in Britain", the Beamish run is approaching it's 50th year and follows some of the routes used by manufacturers to test the same vehicles when originally built.
Unfortunately the event has been cancelled the last two years due to the COVID virus.
Vietnam took me by surprise. It appeared everyone had the latest Iphone and scooter.
Texting while riding is common place but it's not as precarious as it sounds. The pace on the major streets is never excessive. Everyone appears to move as one mass. People do not seem concerned about beating each other to the next stop. No road rage or flipping people off, even when it gets incredibly congested. I saw no accidents or angry disputes ... very foreign and un-american.
Crossing the street for the first time during rush hour is a leap of faith. One simply starts walking across the street thru the traffic in a deliberate fashion and all the scooters drive around you. It seems like chaos at first but it works. Everyone adjusts to those around them, continuous cooperation in harmony.

Motoring in Johnston Strait one September morning in 2018. Returning to Vancouver after a 5 1/2 month solo sailing trip to Alaska. I look back on moments like this with melancholy and calm. With too little wind to sail, the Isuzu engine pushed us along, there was still a balance in the world.
This lovely fishing boat, named Aquaholic, was coming home after a fine, cool but calm day on Port Phillip Bay.
Mordialloc Beach near the Marina. A beautiful day to wander beside the sea and watch all the hopeful fishermen off the Mordialloc Pier and see the boats come home.
I noticed my Android Flickr app has rolled back to the old format today. I know Apple users had this roll-back weeks ago. A big failure with the new site!
N465 heads through Moriac with the second Southern Cross bound service from Warrnambool as 8862.
With the introduction of a new timetable in mid-April 2025, all locomotive hauled services to Warrnambool have been replaced by Vlocity DMU railmotors, leaving Swan Hill to be the last line serviced by locomotive hauled passenger trains in the state of Victoria.
