Ist June Show n Shine @ Peter Vardy Edinburgh

Many thanks to everyone who turned out for this today. The cars all looked stunning and well done to the winners. (Pictures now added! thanks Neil)

Unfortunately the weather let us down! But as usual it didn't dampen the spirit of the occasion.

Thanks to Vardy's for hosting this for us and supplying us with endless cups of coffee/tea as the day got colder and wetter!

Thanks also to the judges whose job was a difficult one!

No doubt there will be lots of photos to follow.

Thanks to Issy for making the event happen, I know she worked really hard so that we all had a nice day as did others in the background.(canny book the weather tho eh ??)

Those of us who decided to head to Lauder to meet the NE England guys were disappointed that the weather was crap there too. I was given advanced warning that they were all going home and that their show was closed so we all just went for a small refreshment at a pub near Whitecraig, a nice blether was had and we headed off homeward at approx 4pm.

One comment (not a criticism and nothing personal) Due to comments on the forum leading up to the event at Vardys, Ian was quietly discouraged from entering his Subaru yet a Porsche managed to scoop a prize, I was a bit surprised by that(lovely as it is). Again nothing personal Robin, just an observation.

Looking forward to Moffat now.

2nd Place - Ian from Aberdeen

3rd Place - Rory

4th Place - Robin

simply "stunning"

every time i see John's car i just can't stop looking at the amount of detail he has put in to his M3, it's got to be up there with the best?

Here's my fave of the day, I love a blonde with her top down (not that I'm biased in any way!!)

Hi everbody!

Thanks for a great day!! it was superb as always!!

Its a bit of a shame that i have seen to have become a liability though by having a stunning car that i have spent tens of thousands on (it seems)

Seems best return my prize, Or I will if asked donate £25 to the RNLI and bow out of being part of the bmw "group" if thats the way it goes,

I presume my lack of 4th place pics spins that way,

Please keep in mind i am a true car lover through and through, be it porsche, bmw or lada!

Cheers Robin.

Just back at the PC for the first time since the SnS.

I'd just like to re-iterate HUGE thanks to Issy for sorting the venue and taking on the stress on behalf of everyone

The other big thank you goes out to Hamish for stepping up and judging. The pair of us sat down a good wee while ago and tried to come up with a judging scheme which would do the quality of entrants justice. My feeling is that although it took a wee while judging, I'm happy the scheme stood up to scrutiny on the day and did the quality of cars and effort prepping justice. Hamish did all the hard work on the day, I just scribbled down the numbers and did the sums between rain drops. You may be seeing more of Hamish on the 'ring trip... but more of that on another thread.

Finally thanks to the entrants, other attendees and the venue. Roll on the rest of the busy season

Aye!! a superb day indeed!!

and a wee sneaky pic of my porker :) :)
