I saw that one yesterday in South Street. (Or one identical to it) There's a garage along there I think that does classic cars, there was an...

Hi, "long time lurker makes very occasional post" alert! 8O I remember Callanders the Mercedes dealer on Great Western Rd/Southpark Ave corner (I think it's a shoe shop now!) because I used to walk past it every day going to school. Has anyone mentioned the wee nest of car dealers up at th...

This SO is a joke IMO. :evil: I get other people's mail, my neighbours get mine and for a good while recently they were totally incapable of actually bringing a parcel to my door. Even stuff that would fit through the letterbox like DVDs from Amazon they'd still put the wee red card through the door...

HI all, just joined up. Here's a couple I spotted recently. Lovely old Moggy Minor, often see this pottering around the West End. (sorry about the finger in the shot.) :oops: http://imgur.com/7hFnVl.jpg TVR Vixen - in regular use by the look of it. :D http://imgur.com/ZAKpyl.jpg Wolseley 1500 http:/...
