    THE DANCING

    No the Viva was a saloon, the Imp was a sort of hatchback with the engine in the back it had an opening rear window and the boot at the front! Are you getting your words mixed up Scarlet did you mean to say you would fund a holiday on the East coast of Canada?
  2. A few I don't know, going clockwise Humber Super Snipe entering the square, Ford Zepher, Austin A70, Citroen 15-1, 2 Austin Taxi's, Austin A40 coming round top, Ford Prefect in front of station, Vauxhall Cresta in corner, 3rd in from right Volvo 544 (I think) and at the front Austin A30 & Morris Minor. No chance of me missing the final the cars can wait until next week

    THE DANCING

    A Ford Consul Classic, Vauxhall Viva HB, Hillman Imp & Triumph Herald.
  4. At a time when they are planning the merging of schools to save money and can't even get traffic flowing around Inverness in a half decent manner.... nonsense like this IS a complete joke! That would never get past the health and safety regulations! Charles you could stand for election to the council now you have more time
  5. That must be weeman's uncle
  6. Entrance to the canal at Gairlochy at the west end of Loch Lochy.
  7. Through the lock gates IHE that must have been from the days when there was a lot of herring in the Moray Firth.
  8. Snap! Charlie Munro's Commer QX which he restored to the original colours and Dalmore Distillery sponsor by paying his petrol for vintage runs.
  9. You are showing your age now Kingsmills!
  10. Back row Renault? Rover 2000, Triumph 2000, Vauxhall Victor FB, Bedford HA van, Vauxhall Victor & Ford Anglia. Bedford dormobile, Front corner of Hillman Super Minx, Ford Anglia van, Ford Cortina Mk2 & Morris Minoe Estate. The bus is entering the bus station from Strothers Lane & the car park is beside the old Railway Club.
  11. That's a predecessor to the Eilean Dubh it is a 4 car turntable ferry. Here she is with a Ford Zepher parked in the corner.
  12. It was a lunchtime kick off! That will be his excuse
  13. Laurence you have been watching to many old war films!
  14. That's 3 for a start we would have more than 2.
  15. No chance of identifying that one!
  16. The sizes are ok its jus us that are all getting bigger
  17. Do you know if or when it's coming back?? I hope its coming back on the 30th
  18. I can bet their mother would not be to pleased when they got home!
  19. The picture will be early 50's, Ferries were the Standard Triumph dealer without Citroen when I moved into town but they were further out at what is now Farm & Household. That garage with the Triumph Mayflower outside and the Standard Vanguard in the showroom is now the Cinnamon Restaurant and that's the Cameron Highlanders marching into town in front of the Albion lorry!
  20. What were you doing in the toilet when you were rumbled?
  21. It is up the Crown you turn up Victoria Drive off Millburn Road then right before Crown Drive, it is a circular road and there is the Inverness Highland bowling green there as well.
  22. Is that a Dingwall dog? He does not look very happy with the top on.
  23. County must have been counting the eyes again To be fair to them, they did take over 16,000 to their cup final. Did Uncle Roy not buy thousands of tickets and give them to all Global staff?
  24. Known locally as Rod the Rustler but that's not a story for IBM Transport! He built the flats on the site of the old Shell filling station on Millburn Road, the 2 blocks at the south end of Shore Street and latterly the flats at the old Tarka Controls.
  25. Roddy Macdonald built flats on it about the same time he built more across the road on the site of the old County Garage on Montague Row. The cars are Morris Minor, Humber Super Snipe pulling out, Ausitn A40 van top, Morris Minor van at pumps, Ford Popular at pumps, 2 other I cant see properly and along the front Riley RMA, Morris Minor and Austin A30. The date on the photo should be 1950's as the earliest vehicle was late forties! I'm interested in that rather more scientific appraisal of the likely date than, because I'm no expert on cars, the vague thought that went through my mind that the general ambience of the photo seems later than the 30s. On the other hand, now that IBM has flagged up the cars, I can see that icon of the 50s the Morris Minor right in front of my nose which should have given me a pretty good clue, had I looked more closely. Where else did Roddy Macdonald build flats in the town?
