Spied a hot rod of sorts in Dundee yesterday. Not a clue what it was, but had that american look about it (well, it was huge) black and with no bonnet up front (40s stylee). Part of me really really wants one...

Have you seen the Ford Gran Torino in full Starsky & Hutch spec rumbling around? Last spotted at the mini-roundabout at the Blue Grotto chipper - looks massive.... but kinda cheesy-cool 8)

Lancia Stratos in white just spotted on A68 going north. Probably a replica, but one of my childhood favorites.

Double-take just half an hour ago when dropping daughter & her pal at the cinema next to Dundee Ice Arena - premier travelodge carpark - the Toyota hilux pick from arctic & lava top gear episodes - on a trailer hooked up to a brand new top spec land cruiser.

I'm guessing owned by Toyota UK and used as a promo vehicle?

Looked cool with the super-chunky arctic tyres 8)

Can it be a spot if you were in it?

Got taken for a proper blast in a 599GTO this afternoon. It sounded just amazing. Goes like clappers too. :-D

Yeah, I like it :)

My brother knows the owner, think he's a Michelin employee in mid life crisis :lol:

That 8c must have been some sight, one of the best looking cars ever to me, though I've never seen one in the flesh.

It was stunning, from every angle - watched it from the mirrors as it passed too :love

I'm lucky enough to seen 2 now, 1st time was in Paris last summer, another black one howled past me Near Notre Dame, the sound had me near wetting myself, much to the wife's hilarity :damnfunny


Forgot another spot - initially drawn by the sound - a '70s Aston V8 in my office car park in Portlethen, in a period burgundy colour, nice 8)
