The Monte Carlo is starting to feel like an annual event in Paisley, with this being the third year running that I have come along to see the race get under way.
It feels strange to see car models that I remember driving being considered as classic cars, but it is also very pleasing that their owners have seen fit to preserve them for events such as this.
Paisley Abbey makes a beautiful backdrop and the public came out in great numbers to cheer the participants on their way.
