When we were on the car hunt a couple of years back (when we ended up with the Spyder) 993 Turbo's were around £50k

Best colour too - many are Arena Red which is nice.
Some of the other 993 models are plain nuts - RS £200-300k

Re: NLC: Unusual Spots
A few days in London and I find things that are unusual up here are less so in the big smoke. Spotted a G wagon to then spot another one about 15 mins later. A new Chevrolet Camaro - a lot of road presence. Then a McLaren MP4-12c with the number plate OHxx YES. When I walked round the front it had a large bash under the off side headlight with bits of carbon fibre hanging off and other bits missing. Can image it was more like OHxx SH... for the owner when that happened!

Re: NLC: Unusual Spots
Spotted a complete monstrosity of a vehicle on the way home from work:
Chrysler Plymouth Cruiser Convertible

A vehicle in which the Scottish word "boak" was probably invented for.

Watched The Classic Car Show last night on Ch5 (Quenton Willson and Jodie Kidd) and they did a feature on (pre-964) 911s....even visited Magnus Walker. I obviously did the PH classifieds thing afterwards, and got a real shock at some of the pricesdouglasgdmw wrote:That is nicerossybee wrote:Sunday, at Claypots junction east of Dundee (en route to visiting me maw), a 993 Turbo in Zenith blue....rare and expensive these days, looked ace all compact and squat at the rear......and just looked - they fetch £80k+![]()

Assuming it's the same one (which seems likely!) I saw it sitting outside a house on the Forfar Rd. just before the Shell station a few months back...rossybee wrote:Tesla Model S - the large saloon thing - spotted in Dundee's Hilltown of all places yesterday afternoon![]()

It was black / dark coloured, and I remember my reaction being one of confusion rather than being impressed. Sort of a why bother thought

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'
