I regularly see a 70s BMW 3.0 CSL just like this one parked up in the main street in West Linton. Looks fantastic to my eyes, especially the super slim roof pillars and the shark nose, and it is always nice to see a classic in regular use.

Was wondering what unusual cars you guys have spotted coming into work, not necessarily exotica but something a little different.

Mercedes C63 AMG - started in front of me at petrol station and sounded like god of thunder. Then sat waiting to leave the petrol station it waited for a gap big enough to get an artic out - some people don't deserve their motors!
Was it metallic grey by any chance with last 3 letters SPL ? If so I see it quite often at BP Harthill South, the natural territory for a 6.3l C Class :lol:
It was indeed - Harthill - "The Heart of Scotland" :?

Coming home to Inverurie from Lecht today.....red 911 on my tail most of the way until he headed off to Braemar. Spotted another 911, couple of Astons and an old Mustang. Funny to see all these nice cars out as it was pishing it down. Made for some scary moments on my drive....especially as I was trying to lose the 911 :thumbsup

I think there was something on at Alford in the morning. I met a Yellow Pontiac Firebird when I was out on the push bike about Noon. Nice to see it being used, but it did look huge on our roads - maybe that's because I met him at a hump back bridge.

White Lambo this evening at Cannonmills.
Only caught a glimpse as it turned, so couldn't say for sure if it was a Gallardo or a Murcielago.

Spotted a one legged man on a bike yesterday :? , from the way he was cutting through the traffic and crossing in front of cars at the moment the lights were changing I can hazard a guess as to why he only has one leg !!

OK then, one of the drivers in the Sinclair C5's was actually blind, and was attached to the one in front by a tow rod and receiving instructions via walkie talkie.
