Spotted a Morris Marina last night at the Grassmarket.

It was the kind of colour you expect to experience after 3 days of sampling the local cuisine in New Delhi:

Also spotted a white TR7 around Arthur's seat.

Spotted a lovely 205 Dimma on Sunday whilst I was in the Clio.

Looked lovely and found a picture of the actual car due to it's distinctive numberplate:

I have seen lots of unusual (to us brits anyway) stuff here in Saint Petersburg. Loads of Ladas, and various old Russian cars.... Not surprisingly I s'pose, a jacked up 4x4 mk 2 golf, complete with the spare wheel mounted on the boot, and loads of modern flash machinery. There is a Porsche Cayenne 9ff in our hotel car park, a new bently, race Audi R8, and a lada to mention a few.

Sounds like a Golf Country, I remember seeing one coming down the A90 Forfar Rd when I was a kid, awesome in a strange sort of way..

The Lambo's front number plate not only ruins it, but is illegal anyway. Might as well not have one!

Thats the very one! Having seen some crazy Russian modifications, I was not sure if it was home made, or a factory built model.

Jaguar C type in BRG with blank racing spots, in amongst the traffic on Dundee's Hawkhill 8)

Looked and sounded absolutely fabulous, mature driver most certainly was enjoying himself in the sunshine :thumbsup

Oh, and a couple of others yesterday - Alpina B10 V8s which was the 4.8 e39 shape, sounded wonderfully burbly, and looked cool in titanium with pristine 19" Alpina alloys :thumbsup

Less nice - parked in Dundee's Crichton St, porker 997 in a matt black wrap with gloss black stripes over the top. Looked crap tbh :roll:
