Red Jag C Type heading west from Dundee, drove behind me then alongside, sounded like a straight 6 XK so not sure if it was a recreation or not...had a suitable non-age-related plate...looked stunning, and Mrs Bee was truly shocked at its potential value if the real deal :shock:

I've seen two Mk2 Escorts recently -one was a droptop, one an RS1600i - one (can't remember which) had a fetching set of pink wheels :shock:

Always wanted one! had a power+ engineering Series1 1.9 RS Turbo that was pretty special but always wanted an RS16i.. My Art teacher had one through Primary 7 to S3 and I thought back then it was the coolest car ever 8)

OK so both were Mk.3s (Maybe I'm getting senile in my old age - or I never did like Fords - or maybe both :lol: )

Spotted a few interesting things recently:

Alfa Romeo 8C spider on the back of a transporter heading up the A90 towards Aberdoom (What oil slump?! :P )

Bright yellow 458 Spider parked in a layby just outside Dundee on the A90 southbound

Bright orange Lambo Huracan heading west on the M9 (Think it was maybe the 'Performance Portfolio' hire one?)

And finally, enroute to Belfast a week past Monday, I passed a Ginetta G40 race car (complete with numbers attached) just after the toll at Drogheda on the M1 northbound.

Spotted a blue 458 Spider on a 16 plate on the slip road on Hermisten Gate. Then a Bentley Beryanago SUV (or whatever its called) followed by a white Bentley coupe, bet he was smug not being in that god ugly car.
