Re: Leccy cars

Looks great Scotty 8) - I really like the design of these (probably down to the Mk1 Civic looks) We had a VW ID3 on test for a day at the end of last year.

Had a bit of a car epiphany over the past 12 months - Much as I loved my V8 barge, it had cost me somewhere around £4-5k in maintenance / running costs over the year and spent much of the time sat mouldering in the driveway. Nearly as cool as the Avantime, loved that car. Malcolm I quite enjoyed th...

Re: Stratos Scotland Tour

IIRC, all genuine Strato's were left hand drive?

And interestingly - or not - it's "Strato's" rather than "Stratos" - As per the badge on the rear:
