This year’s Three Lochs Classic for Veteran, Vintage and Classic cars took place last Sunday, 25 August, in at times near monsoon conditions. Leaving the Royal & Northern Yacht Club in Rhu, crews splashed their way towards Arrochar and the Rest & Be Thankful before heading south via Strachur and taking in the hill road to Ardentinny. Turning back north, our intrepid crews drove through Kilmun and then Arrochar again before heading down Loch Lomond-side, finishing with a run through Glen Fruin back to Rhu.

Following refreshments, and some sterling work by our drookit judges, the awards were presented.

After some months of discussion and work behind the scenes, "The Old Girl" (the 1905 Rolls Royce gifted to the RSAC in 1974) has moved from the Riverside Museum in Glasgow to the Grampian Transport Museum.
Well worth a visit not just to see the world's second oldest Rolls Royce but also all that the museum has to offer.

A rare Bond Bug and the world’s second oldest Rolls Royce are just few of the new special exhibits for this year's celebratory season at GMT.

It is with deep sadness that the board of RSAC Motorsport has learned of the death of Donald Reid at the weekend.
Rest in Peace, Donald.

A message from Garry Headridge on behalf of SMMC is below.

It is with deep sadness that I must let you know of the death of Donald Reid at the weekend.
Donald joined the Club in 1990 along with his great friend, and brother-in-law, Alastair Gray (think Laurel and Hardy / Morecambe and Wise).
Donald became a Director of the Club in 2011 and was appointed Social Convener, organising events up to the Curry evening in early December. He was a very active member of our Motorsport Rescue Team, and using his knowledge and skills he became a Mentor for Rescue Trainees.
He was respected by many across motorsport and beyond and will be sorely missed by all of us in SMMC.
I am sure you will join me in passing on condolences to his wife Moira, son Blair, sisters Janice and Alison, and their husbands Alastair and Hamish. You can leave a tribute or share your memories at https://in-memory.smmc.org.uk
Funeral details will be circulated as soon as we know them.

Donald Reid was a Director then Trustee of the Scottish Motorsport Marshals Club, and an active member of our Rescue Team.

It is with great sadness that the Board of RSAC Motorsport need to share the news of the sudden death of our long time friend and Scottish Rally commentator, Bob Milloy. Always with a smile and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the competitors and their teams, Bob will be sorely missed by The Scottish. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and club at this sad time. 🎤 😢

BOB MILLOY (3 Aug 1949 – 15 Feb 2022)
We are saddened to report the sudden death of Bob, for many years KLMC Secretary and Vice Chairman.
He will be known to every rally crew as the chap who thrust a microphone in front of you at the end of an event, ready to hear your stories from the day’s competition and transmitting to the assembled spectators. He also commentated on stage rallies at Oulton Park and hillclimbs at Barbon, broadcasting a wealth of information about every competitor.
Living in South Cumbria but originally from Cheshire, Bob was a regular road rally navigator in the 1970’s and also competed on car trials in a Clan Crusader. Later he could often be found co-driving on stage rallies. He was also a regular race marshal at Oulton Park, and a MSA Steward at events across the northern half of the UK.
He was an official of Stockport Motor Club until his move northwards, where he became an official of Kirkby Lonsdale Motor Club and secretary of their stage rallies.
As Chairman of ANWCC he regularly attended the Regional Committee meetings of Motorsport UK, forthright in his views and always willing to discuss all aspects of motor sport with the ANWCC officials.
At last week’s AGM of the Association Bob stood down to make way for a younger person, having passed on much of his knowledge and wisdom to his successor. He will be truly missed by the many who knew him.
Details of the funeral will be published on Facebook when known.
RIP
