A mate of mine has not long aquired one of those, LHD car with very low miles that he brought back from Switzerland.

Nice piece of kit. Can regularly be seen on the road between Strathaven and EK.

Was in London the other week and spotted a Bristol Blenheim. In drab brown and in need of a wash, which I thought made it look great. I expect to most, it blended into the obscurity of all the other, regular saloons.

On the way back from Bellshill this evening saw one of the worst monstrosities ever to cone out of the states:

Plymouth Cruiser convertible

Had to post an image to show their true repulsive nature as a car

I always though they (the convertible) looks like a wheelie bin from the rear.

Subaru SVX (like the one below) at the Lizzie Brice roundabout on Monday. Produced between 1991 and 1996 and always a rare sight.

Another SVX lover :thumbsup

But then I like the B6 Tribeca, and the Multipla, and the little ugly one-eyed dog at the back of the pet shop :mrgreen:
