bloody hell, I never realised how much retro tin there is there...And I've been going there a few times a month for the last 3 years. In the village where my lady half used to live (and her 'rents and grandparents still do): A mossed-over yellow 850cc Reliant Super Robin. A lovely dark blue Herald Estate (looked near-as-mint...it was lurking behind a modern silver Fiat blob thing) A mk III 'tina with a few interesting stickers and 'spike' and 'denise' scrawled below the rear bumper...judicious googling reveals that it belongs to these people. (warning: Cortina owners) Had a rapid trip in her uncles (from a nearby village) Porsche 996 Carrera 4 convertible...lots of punch but seemed a little uninspiring. In Notts itself: 3 Scimitars (one with a nice V8 burble) Capri RS3100 Cherry (100C) A slammed-and-rollin'-on-polished-steels bedford rascal which earned me a slap for ogling it whilst being dragged to Kurt Geiger. It was about 15mm from the ground... Several nice old minis/imps/2cvs.... Fun was had by all  *n |

I'm from Nottingham too! ;D Dunno why but there are LOADS of Reliant Scimitars around these parts! Lots of classics of all kinds really!  |

I saw all three Scimitars within an hour of each other...twas slightly surreal.
There was also a chÂav-with-cash (read: benifit fraud) haring around the city centre in a new Impreza fully kitted out with works-rally-style stickers and logos...
...and a misfire...and a space saver on the rear left corner...and a standard interior...and panel damage all down the left side...

i had the same when i went to see my sister in glasgow- lots of retro there! no red imps tho... What, do you mean my Imp? Ah, but I don't actually live in Glasgow itself, Greenock's a little down the Clyde coast on the south shore of the river (my Imp's brown anyway, and my racer hasn't been on the road since the 70s and has now been scrapped. ) You obviously haven't been near Dougie Scott's haulage yard near the Barras then? (saying that, he's since moved yard to Renfrew but until lately he was in Glasgow itself), he has at least 20 Hillman Imps and loads of other retro stuff! |

;D ;D ;D ;D The funniest thing about when English people find themself in Greenock is the surprising number of you who for some reason prounounce it like "Grennock", maybe because Greenwich is prouounced that way. Greenock actually is said the way it looks!  |

Yeah there's a massive amount of Scoobies around. I must see three or four every day. I reckon they must've put the dole up.
I can't stand them! I respect the amount of power they get from them but I really dislike 'em.
