Best colour too - many are Arena Red which is nice.

Some of the other 993 models are plain nuts - RS £200-300k :shock:

Tesla Model S - the large saloon thing - spotted in Dundee's Hilltown of all places yesterday afternoon :shock:

Remarkably unremarkable in its blandness but i know they're not cheap...

A few days in London and I find things that are unusual up here are less so in the big smoke. Spotted a G wagon to then spot another one about 15 mins later. A new Chevrolet Camaro - a lot of road presence. Then a McLaren MP4-12c with the number plate OHxx YES. When I walked round the front it had a large bash under the off side headlight with bits of carbon fibre hanging off and other bits missing. Can image it was more like OHxx SH... for the owner when that happened!

Spotted a complete monstrosity of a vehicle on the way home from work:
Chrysler Plymouth Cruiser Convertible

A vehicle in which the Scottish word "boak" was probably invented for.

Watched The Classic Car Show last night on Ch5 (Quenton Willson and Jodie Kidd) and they did a feature on (pre-964) 911s....even visited Magnus Walker. I obviously did the PH classifieds thing afterwards, and got a real shock at some of the prices :shock:

Assuming it's the same one (which seems likely!) I saw it sitting outside a house on the Forfar Rd. just before the Shell station a few months back...
It was black / dark coloured, and I remember my reaction being one of confusion rather than being impressed. Sort of a why bother thought :blackeye

My mate has got a Tesla S

His is metallic bronze with 21" wheels / sports pack/ power upgrade
He done race the runway in it and smoked a TVR and a Ferrari 348 !

Delorean DMC-12 and a Robin Reliant spotted down in Yorkshire when we were coming up the road from Hethel.
