Haha, I wondered if someone would post a Tribeca, I walk past one everyday parked in a disabled bay outside the hospital I work in. Pretty awful looking thing from more or less any angle!

Spotted my first Alfa 4C today - looked not bad - thought it sounded rubbish

Strange. There was a white one at the 'Ring a couple of months back and it sounded ace through Adenau :thumbsup

Think Alfa had a sportier exhaust on the option list if I can remember my Evo review.

Probably why one of them sounded so pants.

May have been that it was basically jut ticking over - slowing down for a set of lights and then pulling away.
Sounded kind of off beat to me, a bit like a Scooby .

I actually don't mind the Tribeca too much, I regard it as 'distinctive' :wink:

Rather nice inside too :D

F50 on the A96 at Tyrebagger. Not my favourite F-car, but can't recall seeing one on the road before...

Spotted the slowest and fastest 1960 cars on the motorway:
Red Citreon 2CV
Silver E Type coupe

Think I know which one I would prefer for a motorway trip.

Although I have realised I have never driven a 2CV, so that has been put on my bucket list (strangely not driven an E Type but the 2CV gearchange has a certain allure)

2CVs are great fun, and not just for driving.

Ex-gf had one many moons ago :thumbsup

Ninewells. I've worked in or around N /W since 2000 (when I started working!). I had a stint in the Mackenzie building, which is between Westgate HC and Carseview, but am back in N/W now.

I enter via the East Block at the back of the hospital, which is where the Tribeca lives during the day. I don't think I could get close enough to see what the interior is like, the exterior is so repulsive :blackeye

Spotted a 90's ford Scorpio today, still as ugly.

I did nearly buy one around 2000 as it was dirt cheap with lots of toys. That and the only place you didn't have to look at the outside was when you were inside.
