My best was when visiting the Castle of Mey (the late Queen Mother's private home) during our NC500 drive - after doing the tour of the Castle (well worth it!) we were approached by a uniformed guard asking if we owned the classic cars in the car park - admitting that we were, he asked if we would like to bring them onto the castle forecourt for some a photo or two! No hesitation, of course -- ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/04/16/IMG_1455.jpg) A surreal experience!!

A few years ago we went to Symonds Yat in the 4/4. Went to the Saracens Head pub on the riverbank. No parking spaces left but the parking attendant gave us a space not normally used for free. He liked the car.

That’s a great pic Tim. Fair warms the cockles of your heart seeing a “flange” of Morgans (or whatever a group is called?) outside a nice building… HB

Classic's could be a Picket (wood fence for those not familiar with US culture) Aero's could be a Wing CX's are a bit more difficult? Roman numerals so Troop? 
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Thanks for posting the Glamis pics. I have visited Glamis in the past for a couple of car shows, the last of which was for the Extravaganza which is held there anually, until Covid struck but I believe it is on again this year plague permitting.. I found this link with some pics and more info on the event, though hosted by another marque..But as they say "variety is the spice of life." (-: https://www.tr-register.co.uk/event...za-OFFICIAL-SCOTTISH-TR-REGISTER-WEEKENDOn my last visit to Glamis I took a few pics I could try to find if there is any interest..

Thanks for posting the Glamis pics. Umm, Castle of Mey, George, as stated by Ken. Tim's photo shows several TM members' cars, including mine (far left) his and Andy G. Would like to see your Glamis photos though
