E30 M3 parked on Byres Rd Glasgow last night, after 11pm - looked stunning in a dark metallic grey, very compact...

Loved the P6, afraid I wrote off my dad's one in 1972. Really would like one, but I think the memories are probably better than reality.

PS. my dad was great over me binning his "pride and joy", not sure I'd be as forgiving !!!

Spotted a Land Rover 101/Forward Control going through Balerno yesterday.

Picture of similar one below in case any SE member does not know what they are:

First time I have ever seen on being driven on the road.

Also saw these earlier in the year. Both Mansory conversions. Never seen so much bare carbon fibre before. The Lambo was particularly striking.

Can't imagine what it would be like if you took it up to the West Coast on a breezy Scottish night, although it would probably take you a week to get there!!

If you're quick, you can buy its cousin...

(It's called a Citroen Visa 'Romahome').

Hmmm, may just resit at that price. Buys you lots of nights at a travel lodge which would probably be a lot more pleasant

I followed a beautiful metallic grey Gordon Keeble for about 3 or 4 miles on the A82 last Thursday.
Driver got a big thumbs up from me when he turned off just before Luss. :thumbsup

Ooh, they are stunning!

Although I did spot the 1977 Toyota Hi-Ace Camper for £650 :blackeye
