Aldo's Edinburgh Shite Spots!

[aldo135]

In The Hague my son and I visited the Louwman museum which had a 90s supercar exhibit

A really good place to visit, you go up to the top floor then work your way down from vintage to more modern stuff

Thanks! The DS (or is it an ID19?) was in Amsterdam, the rest were in Wassenaar, the Village by the Duinrell holiday camp, near The Hague

Thanks.  I've been looking for a March road trip idea so will add that to the list.  Rich pickings!

@RobT The Louwman Museum was definitely worth a look. Nearby Lieden was nice too, not so many car spots but nice streets and canals in the stereotypical style you’d expect. We had driven up from the holiday camp following google maps and it was initially a disappointment, office blocks and flats like a British new town. The youngest asked for McDonald’s, so I typed that into google and 5 minutes later we were in tourist heaven! Who knew McDonald’s would save the day 😂

I can recommend Zeeland if you're over there again.  There's some nice towns and villages on the Middelburg peninsula. I didn't spot loads there in November, but this Volvo was a highlight in Veere.

I remember the Toyota GT-One from Gran Turismo 2. Set all my best lap times with that car. 😛

The 7 series was getting MOT’d at the same time as my Volvo, its appearing on a Retroshite roffle soon I think

Need to go back and see if they sold it!

Was that Wartburg not featured on Bangers & Cash a few years back? ISTR the lad buying and driving it back up to Scotland.

Oh, and on the subject of Edinburgh chod, might as well chuck in one of my own spots from about a month ago...

As it happens, I've now (completely coincidentally) met the owner of this fine vehicle. Don't think he's on here, but very much a fellow traveller.

The 728's reg looked familiar so I searched my photos and yep.  Spotted in south London (Peckham I think) in February 2020.

It’s a lovely looking car. @RetroShitehas it just now

Don’t think I’ve seen that one, makes sense though. This “bargain cars” has typical 2nd hand stuff but quite often has something interesting for sale too!

Took my son to a "Tartan tarmac" breakfast meet in Glasgow. Some impressive machines for him to take photos of, but thankfully some slightly less exotic stuff too

ok

nice enough

now we're talking 😂

[aldo135]

This was lovely! 

[aldo135]

Mini was nice if you didnt go too close, BX looked good

Seen the Laguna yesterday on the M8 when I was travelling up to Livingston. Lovely looking car.
