Old Cars etc Spotted

Those rubber bumpers are probably covering even more horrors underneath.

I can see three separate species of tinworm, even from this distance

Cheating slightly. This is a screen grab from the film "Silent Scream" , but you do get a bonus "where is that?" out of it.

good pic and good question.

[The Egg Man]

The Tail o the Bank from the hill above Greenock?

[robertpool]

Drumchapel, Maryhill or Cathcart?

[BrigitDoon]

Try Tobermory Road in Cathkin
I can't be certain, there's a Leylandii in the way and the lampposts look like they've been replaced, but it's steep enough, there's chimney pots to the left and a stepped wall to the right. Maxi will have been eaten away by now.

If it's not there, it will be within a couple of hundred yards as the buuldings in the distance need to be to the right of Dumgoyne in the far background. Don't forget quite a few of them have been blown down.

looks like greenock to me with the clyde in the background

[banjo]

i would have thought those were the red road flats to the right and the campsies beyond.

[Vinegar Tom]

I'm pretty sure Brigit has it nailed - Dumgoyne being the killer exhibit.

Where else could you get such a swift answer to such an obscure and ultimately pointless question?

[banjo]

you are correct vt.brigit,well done you.

I used to stay in Tobermory road as well........But I'm confused with that map.

Tobermory used to run where Bute road is now........Did they rename the streets during the regeneration ?

EDIT.....My wife has just told me they did rename the street.


This pic is from Perth air show a few years back.

Interestingly that 3 wheeler Morgan type car is actually brand spanking new. It is a kit car by Aero Cycle Cars using a Moto Guzzi motorcycle engine. Some use Harley Davidson engines, some use Honda CX 500 V twins and there is also a model using Citreon 2CV engines.

Fantastic

[BTJustice]

there is also a model using Citreon 2CV engines.

Its a 2cv based car parked behind the white car.
