Southern Indiana gathering, Sept 8th & 9th - This weeken

Post by Chris Wright »

Are you In the Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati area and Looking for a nice drive and fun destination this weekend? (Sept 8 & 9)

Try the European Car Show
in conjunction with the
Columbus Scottish Festival
in Columbus, Indiana
(50 Mi. S of Indy on I65)

The Car Show is free and there is no pre-registration. Drivers (only) will be admitted to the Festival free, with their car being their pass. So if you have a collection of cars, have the Wife (or buddy) drive one!

The car show states: "European Vehicles (Cars, Vans, Motorcycles, etc.) of any make, model, or condition at least 15 years old are welcome!". Year before last, we had four Sixers and an Fiver in a row just down from a Rolls, an XJ12, a '36 Morris 8 Van, a gaggle of MG's, etc. It is a real mixed bag, which makes it interesting. You never know what is going to show up. There is even an open air (no sides) covered building reserved for us in case of bad weather (or you just want to be in out of the sun)

The Festival itself is fun and interesting and is Wife and Kid friendly with Lots to do and see for the whole family ... oh, did I mention the Beer Garden? ... or the Whiskey tasting? The fish sandwiches are to die for, and who could pass up the haggis? :shock: :mrgreen:

Registration begins at 8:30 A.M. each day. The trophies are awarded 4:00 P.M. Sat. and at 3:30 P.M Sun. and people start to drift away afterward, so plan accordingly. There are separate awards for British and European cars (see the flyer below).

Any questions or interest? Hope to see you there!!

Here is one of last year's winners with my car behind it. (Two other Sixers are across from it. This shows the building they have for us also):
