Desfile de Camiões, 2015

Every year the Núcleo dos Motoristas da Beira Litoral feature events in Oiã and Ílhavo. One of these is the annual parade of classic cars and lorries, which often pass through Carris and are well worth the wait. Each year I try to get a slightly different viewpoint. [FAG id=2043]

2015-05-10 Motoclube Oiacelera

Every year the Motoclube Oiacelera, the local motorcycle club, host a weekend event. Motorcyclists from all over Portugal come to Oiã and they are treated to music, dancing and a heavy metal show. They also feature a parade which travels around the district of Oiã- I normally miss this, but just on the off chance,

Desfile de Caminhões 2014

Last year I waited for nearly two hours in the baking sun for the convoy of lorries from the show in Ilhavo to pass. Unfortunately, that year they had decided to take a different route, so I was left staring forlornly down the road, dreaming of what might have been. This year I was ready:

In a couple of weeks time, on the 08 and 09 June, the Kartódromo de Oiã will open its doors to the Aveiro Elite Club. this annual tuning event is always a fabulous weekend for anyone who likes cars. It’ll be our second chance to attend, and something that we are looking forward to immensely.

I (heart) Vespas

This entry was inspired by Doli Siregar and this post… It was taken at the Festa de Caramulo last year, probably the most fantastic car show in the known universe. Well, Portugal…

Trofeu de Karting at Kartódromo de Oiã

The local newspaper, the Diário de Aveiro, sponsors an annual Karting challenge at Kartódromo de Oiã. At the last meeting we were fortunate enough to be able to cover the event…

Mugs Grand Prix at Kartódromo de Oiã

We had a great time last Saturday covering the Mugs Grand Prix at the Kartódromo. It was a day that nearly didn’t happen, Portugal was under a Red Alert for high winds and rain (as anyone has seen news images of the storm damage will have seen), and we were prepared for the worst. But

It was a cold and rainy day for the annual Mugs race at Kartódromo de Oiã, but the rain didn’t dampen the speed and spirit of the drivers. [FAG id=1775]

Caramulo Motor Festival 2012

We’re a bit behind with posting, but early in September was the Caramulo Motor Festival. Last year we spent our time at the bottom of the hill, but this time we went up the hill climb. It was hot and tiring work, but the end result was well worth it…

Love at first sight…

We were at the Caramulo Motorfestival at the weekend. I have always had a soft spot for Vespas (I should say at this point I have never owned a Vespa nor have I ever ridden one, I just love them as little works of art), and these two just seemed made for each other…

Caramulo Motor Festival

The Caramulo Motor Festival is two weeks away. We have booked our trip already, as this is a great day out. Here are some images from last year’s Festival.

Aveiro Elite Tuning – Drift Night

In a couple of weeks is the fourth Aveiro Elite Tuning festival. Here are some images from the Aveiro Elite Night earlier in the year. The brief was to capture the fun of the evening, especially for the passengers in the Taxi Drift.

Afotografia at Kartódromo de Oiã

We are regulars at the Kartódromo, whether covering a tuning weekend or just popping in to see the karters practising their driving. This time we were delighted to find two parties having an afternoon out. It was good experience for us, too, for some ‘racing’ photography. When covering the racing, or the drift nights, we

Vintage Volkswagen

We came across this ‘old’ car near the park in Oiã.
