Yeah, I see his post on the Bavarian Board. I'll add Dave too.

Unfortunately I'll not be there, combination of car woes (no MOT, she'll need some work and I'm struggling for time :( ) and a previous commitment which I had totally forgotten about until the wife 'reminded me' at the weekend!

Oh well, enjoy the day folks.

This annual event, now in its fourth year of running and presented by Arbroath Events (part of the Arbroath Business Association) is a must attendance for all the family. With 15,000 people present in 2006 and with this year's new attractions, the seafront in Arbroath is set to be taken by storm once again.

Held at Victoria Park, Arbroath on Saturday 14th July 2007, 11:00am - 6:00 pm the Arbroath Seafront Spectacular is a day long family fun day at Arbroath's glorious seafront in July each year. The show features a wide range of 'spectacular' attractions including aerobatic flying displays, helicopter pleasure flights, car clubs, motor cycle clubs, stunt driving, armed forces demonstrations, refreshments including a beer tent, local bands, stalls, traders, exhibitors and a large funfair.

One of the most popular attractions is motor cycle stunt driving by Kevin Carmichael. Riding bikes from the age of seven, Kevin Carmichael won the 1997 European Championships after eight weeks of stunt driving and now performs worldwide. He retained the championships title until 2001 except for one year when he came second. More recently Kevin won the World Championship in Texas 2002 and in 2004 the Burns Day competition. This year's Seafront Spectacular will see Kevin perform using a range of Triumph motor cycles including a Triumph Speed Triple, Triumph Bonneville T100, Triumph 955 Daytona and the Triumph Rocket III.

A unique part of the Spectacular is the seafront flying display. Although popular south of the border Arbroath is the only Scottish town to feature a flying display as part of a seaside show. The Victoria Park provides a natural arena for viewing airborne acts.

One of this years three flying display items will be performed by a team of top class flyers from the British Aerobatic Association. They will begin with a dual display using smoke flown by Steve Carver and Gary Ferriman flying a pair of Extra 300's, followed by a solo spot flown by Nick Riddin featuring a two seat RV4 aerobatic aircraft.

Past events have seen the well known Stunt Driver Russ Swift demonstrate extraordinary manoeuvres on two wheels using a Mini Cooper.

The RAF have provided flying displays over the years with notable attendees being the world famous Red Arrows. Their Aerobatic Team amazed the crowds with their astonishing aerial ballet including the mighty Chinook Helicopter which performed its award winning gravity defying display and the formidable Tornado F3 from nearby RAF Leuchars in Fife which demonstrated its ability to power itself around the sky at both low and very high speeds.

Just a word of warning.

The tourer won't be in pristine condition

After all,it is an 19 yr old motor.

Should still look "Quite reasonable" next to the newer stuff though

If you can't

Another alternative would be Callander at the end of August.

You'd need to contact Gary if you want to come along with the rest of the zoners

Nice looking tourer BTW
