That's why I'm putting a Subaru motor in mine.j2 lot wrote:Not just me then, I appreciate that people invest huge sums and many hours and that is laudable but unless you stick a bigger engine in it it's a dog slow box on wheels , with your legs as the crumple zone
There are also foot well protection bars available that I'm looking in to.

Is it metallic blue? Saw one on the A90 heading towards Dundee, strange sight nowadays!rossybee wrote:One of my neighbours recently got a V or W reg ('79/'80) Honda Accord two door hatchback (liftback?), which looks mint.
Kinda yank influenced with the twin headlamps and lashings of chrome
My dad had an 82 Y reg one, later model with square lights when I was a kid. I don't remember much about it though.

Yep - a pale met blue - seen it again, it's a W reg and isn't quite as mint as first thought - but still a smart old girlCorranga wrote:Is it metallic blue?

Black Countach parked up in North Castle Street this morning receiving a lot of attention
If it was a fake, it was a good one.

Re: NLC: Unusual Spots
Saw an orange & black McLaren 650S on the Strathaven to Hamilton road tonight, looked good but didn't have the presence of the supercars of old, from a distance I thought it was a Lotus
I guess it was on a test run from McLaren Glasgow (in Hamilton)

Was up in the North East on Saturday and on the Ellon/Aberdeen road managed to spot a light brown Austin Maxi.

Was behind a Red E Type Coupe today. Forgotten how slim classic cars are nowadays. Would definitely have one but would it be sacrilidge to want the Eagle version?

1977 Toyota Corona (predecessor of the Carina, which was predecessor of the Avensis)

At a classic car auction yesterday - I wanted to buy it, but it went for strong money...(!)
