 | Monte Historique Winner does it again
 Last time we saw Craig Lowndes with a big smile was driving the Glasgow Start 1951 Holden 48-215(FX)
to win the oldest car to finish trophy at the Monte Carlo Historique
rallly back in February. Well he smiles again in a Holden, this time a
full throttle V8 version to notch up his 91st race win. The 38 year old
Lowndes scored an emphatic win over four-time champion Jamie Whincup to
become the most successful driver in the history of Australian V8
Supercars. You just can't keep a great driver down. [more] | |  | Run to Inversnaid - 28 April
A
great turnout for the Alan Duncan run to Inversnaid for the
Kirkintilloch and District Classic Car Club maiden outing on Sunday

on the way. A few showers but the sun did appear, making a great first

| Strathendrick Drive It Day - Sunday 21 April
The
forecast was wet, and so it was for the start of the Strathendrick
Charity tour. However it did not dampen the spirits of the 80 starters
who were rewarded with some blue sky as the day proceeded on the run
over to Knockhill. The 120 mile route started at the Beech Tree
Inn, Dumgoyne, by Killearn, over the Campsies, across to Fife with
lunch at Kinnairds Restaurant, Knockhill and returning through
Perthshire and finishing back at Culcreuch Castle, Fintry for High Tea
and Awards. Checkout Alan Duncan's photo album of the day here
| |  | New Car Club for Kirkintilloch
Alan
Duncan who was on the recent Argyll Run and took many of the photos of
the event, to add to some 12000 he has put on line over the years, is
working on setting up a new classic club in his home town of
Kirkintilloch.
He 'tested the waters' with a meeting recently,
in the pub of course, and was bowled over by the reponse, with over 100
turning out to hear his proposals. The area has many classic owners and
enthusiasts but no local club, so he should be of to a good start. We
will follow his progress with interest, see Run to Inversnaid on Sunday
28th May. More info on his web here | |
