Every April the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs celebrates DRIVE IT DAY. It's an opportunity for petrol heads to dust off their classic cars and get back out on the road, perhaps for the first run of spring. Drive it day celebrates the One Thousand Mile Trial organised in 1900 to prove the viability of the then-new invention, the motor vehicle.
It’s also a chance to raise awareness and support amongst the public for the historic vehicle movement and keeping transport heritage on UK roads.
I was invited to take an old car out for a friend...no prizes for guessing what I ended up driving! The route saw us meet at Aberdeen Beach first thing on Sunday morning before navigating the minefield that is Aberdeen City Centre and heading out to Crathes Castle.

1:50 - My wheels for the day...
3:45 - Thou shalt not fly here
5:50 - Hit the road, Jack.
