I saw F11 UUK today. A word I never use when driving 😂

A vintage MG TA/TF on the A9 and a beautiful yellow Mk2 Escort on the M80. 

5 GK and 6 GK behind one another this morning. 

Didn't manage to get a pic but spotted a Chevy Corvette like this one on the Edinburgh bypass this morning. Looked amazing. Pic for reference. 

I was behind a Toyota Prius+ this morning which was a new one on me  

With the Rangers reputation, maybe the dealer should take the "in" off 😄

Vauxhall Viva HCs and 1990 Audi 90s seem to a bit thin on the ground. Not so Mk1, Mk2 Escorts, Pug 205GTis and Mk1 MX5s.

For me, it would have to be the Wolfrace....

and the ATS Cup....

Last year I couldn't wait to get the Saab convertible out and about (not just in good weather). This year I'm a bit "meh" about it. It creaks and rattles, scuttle shake is starting to annoy me and it's shit on a B road although fast out of roundabouts on dual carriageways.

Maybe a change of car might inspire you. That's what I hope happens with me anyway.

FUCK OFF with all the wanky "pazaz" and telling me how wonderful it would be to buy one of your faux  4x4 things on PCP.

Where there is the odd car that isnt a wanky off roader - do they have plenty of photos of the inside / outside or the vehicle (especially the boot space?)

No they fucking dont.  Ended up googling for photos of one of Skoda's offerings because their all singing all dancing web page doesnt include one single photo of the boot. Fucksake - show some bloody photos of all 4 sides and the inside rather than some smiling mixed race family of lesbians driving over some sand dunes.

They're frightened to tell you the car that is 1/2 again as big and weighs twice as much is actually smaller inside than their predecessors.

In the week Vincent Friell, The Wolfman , died.

1OCH on a Cayenne in Stirling, handy if you are near the lochs.

I used to see that quite often but not for a while now.

I've forgotten what those 3 wheelers are called - someone remind me?!

Fugly?

Also in the bad parking thread for obvious reasons 😄

2 girls in full gym gear doing exercises in Cumbernauld railway station car park just now 😄

My girlfriend had a Mk3 Fiesta. The first time I was in it, I heard the rear wheel bearing howling and had to fit a new one. She knew I was a keeper after that 🤣

From the Cars and Lasses tread.

The towbar seems to like her 🤣

This afternoon,  top down red Merc SL and TVR Chimaera, a Series 1 Discovery on a trailer then a Series 2 LR.

Maybe not a typical AS style but not many Lexus LS400s about now. 

A9 Inverness to Perth this afternoon  - a Talbot Express camper just behind an air cooled  VW camper, a Triumph GT6 on a trailer, a G reg Volvo 240 estate and a Pontiac Firebird towing a trailer with 2 motorbikes on it. I think there might've been a surfboard on the roof but not sure. 

Sitting in the Premier Inn restaurant just now and woman at the next table has never stopped talking to her work colleague 😡

Edit -f*ck me,  her food's arrived and she's still yakking. 

More A96 spots this afternoon. 

Firstly a Mk2 XR2, an S reg LDV camper then a Lexus LS400.
