In the past three days I have seen 3 Monaros. One on Monday night was a black VXR, and was clearly a cherished example. V8 sounded sweet 8)

Also spotted a few weeks ago, a red Ultima with white stripes, heading down the M77. Very nice :thumbsup

Yes all correct, Al couldn't remember which Ferrari Syd had with him that day since he has so many. He has a 599 as well. Sent him the photo's to jog his memory.

Spotted a Red LHD Alfa 155 on the M8 today when going to pick up the 911.

Looked uber cool. Only saw it in the rear view, as it was lhd I was wondering if it was the Q4?

Yep, if it was a UK car it'll have been a Q4, rare beast indeed :wink:

I remember clarkson reversing thru McDonald's drive-thru in one, this was around the time I had my integrale which was of course a left-hooker too :mrgreen:

Was passed by a Nissan Leaf travelling at speed last night - batteries won't last long at that speed :shock:

The Wiesmann coupe that passed me tonight was much more to my taste, lovely looking car :thumbsup

My current wheels are a 22 year old Renault 5 GT Turbo (borrowed from my BiL) - Only when you're driving one you realise that they're quite rare on the roads these days.

This particular car is track prepped, with lots of Grp. A bits, and a hybrid turbo. 180 bhp on 'da rollers, and stripped / caged. Lurid wheelspin in the wet all the way into 4th gear. Slowest steering rack in the world + a highly mobile tail means it does need respect, though... :mrgreen:

A bizzare spot for me in Aberdeen yesterday... a motorcyle hearse! It has a sidecar as the coffin carrier.

I quick search and there are a few of them about but it was the first time I'd heard about it.

Something like this...

Spotted a red Audi Quattro from the 80's this morning... I was sitting waiting at some traffic lights, and it came tearing round the corner. Very 8) 8) 8) 8) ..... and very "fire up the quaaaatttrow..."
