Dollingstown Classic DeLorean Car Rally Stormont Estate June 2024

Today, 8th June 2024, I'm taking you on an extended walk up towards Stormont Parliament Buildings, Upper Newtownards road, Belfast. The organizers of the free Dollingstown Classic and Vintage Car Show Rally 2024 have taken over the Stormont estate to bring together an amazing car show packed with all sorts and ages of wonderful vehicles, - including 50 De Lorean, Back to the Future, cars.
In addition to the spectacular De Loreans, there were buses, classic cars, and motorbikes and more, of all colours, shapes, makes, value, rarity, on display.
It was a wonderful turn out, all in aid of Action Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer Research.
A definite good news story from Belfast. Well done Dollingstown Classic and Vintage Car Show organizers. Wow!

    Hello Tom , wonderful that was some car and bike show you could of put your bike in for sure , that 1954 black Morris Minor was the very first car I had it was also black with red leather seats it cost 10 pounds back in 1970. That was quite a hike there and back lucky with the weather I thought for a moment it was going to turn on you . Thanks Tom great video , oh yes what about Michael 29 TT wins a new King Of The Road , I am sure Joey would be very proud of him keeping it in the family.

    £10? ??????? Wow! Yes Michael has done so well. I can see road racing dying out in the next years though. They can't get insurance to cover it.

    I enjoyed the car show Tom. I remember the DeLorean show at Stormont you showed a few years ago. That uphill walk would have done me in......lol. To me, the E-Type Jag is still my favourite. Thanks Tom

    What a great day's viewing Tom; lovely to see some of these old favourite classics. £588.6.8d - you'd think they'd be more specific!!! 1959/60 and a Morris Mini would have set you back £600 - not a price that many of us could have afforded back then. A Mini today is in excess of £30,000 - crazy prices, crazy times! I'm faid that walk up to Carson's would have levelled me, but although you were puffing a bit, I give you full credit! Thanks fopr showing us Tom. Best from me!

    I'm smiling Chris. I'm glad you liked this wee walk round. I wish I had had the time to stay longer and video a lot of cars that I missed. Yes I could easily have slipped the 600 Shadow in. no one would have noticed or worried! lol

    Hey Tom that was hardly a wee walk, it was a marathon, lol, I would have loved to be there and I can think of another car and bike nutter that would say the same,LOL. I shot some video of our enemy Mr Magpie and also a Pied Wagtail with food in its beak for the young this afternoon and I got the painting finished on the garage door.

    Yes Chris, it is a mile up and a mile down and then a wee dander round the top. It's any added gradient that gets to me and having to do it at speed. I'm afraid I'm not the best painter but I do try! lol

    Hi Trevor. Yes the hill was a bit of a struggle particularly because I hadn't planned time out to do this video. -I didn't know that the rally would be there with the DeLoreans! So it was all a bit rushed. I did miss a number of vehicles in the avenues off Carson's Statue. I'm glad my wee video gave you an idea of what was there. Apparently this show will take place gain next year. It was advertised on Facebk but I'm not on that. I'm surprised that other local KZreadrs were not there to capture it. Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.

    Many thanks STS. Yes if you hear of any car or bike shows coming along let me know. I'm not on FBk. I only found out about this rally the night before. lol Ah the old bike. It's getting old and tired like myself. The paint job is pretty good but I need to give the bike a good clean!!!!! Ahhhh! Photograph away. Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.

Always fondly remembered and sadly missed. His Nephew Michael did him proud 🙏🏻. Cheers Tom, you know your bike could probably be put on display. 👊🏻🏍️

    LOL Steff. It is a distinctive wee bike and it suits me for the present. I am tempted by a scooter at some future date but all good for now.

    Hi Mr T. I only stumbled across a small piece of information about the DeLorean meet up the night before. I didn't know it was to be a full scale massive rally! I was completely unprepared time wise. So that's why I was a bit rushed. It was all on Facebk but I'm not on that! It's a pity it hadn't been better publicized. Sorry you missed it. It was a massive show with cars coming from all over. Apparently it will be running again next year at much the same time. Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.
