Shandon Par Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 No joke, there's a battered old white Fiat Uno on French plates I sometimes see parked up in Gorgie. Duke of Edinburgh obviously storing it in a low-key spot in case it needs called into action again. Will try and get a pic if I spot it some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 In one of the worst parts of Motherwell there is a fancy German reg Mercedes parked quite often. Bizarrely it occasionally has the left rear wheel missing but not always. Strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Was in the retail park car park behind me the other day and a Trans Am pulled up not unlike the one below. Bit odd for just off the Kingsway IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Saw an old broken down Mercedes like this at Mount Sinai a few years back. The German guys who drove it there were trying to sell it to the Archbishop at the Monastery. At the time there were just really rough tracks and I think he made a fair bit of profit buying fucked cars from tourists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Some sort of sports car with UAE plates and a Russian plated on in Reykjavík. I've seen Faroese plates in Shetland - not that odd considering the ferries - but an old Icelandic car in Fife! Looked like an auld, foosty 2000s Corolla or something! Scotland - mostly German, Dutch, with some French, Italian, the odd Bulgarian or Romanian and Polish plates. I did see a Yugo once in Dundee near the Tesco Riverside about 4-5 years ago. Not a car guy, but gave a wee wave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) When I was in Iceland last summer I got on the bus from Fjordur to Keflavik, the bus driver happened to be from just outside Hartlepool! I was sat up the front and he was very chatty. He said he did see the odd British number plate in Iceland from time to time, which I thought was a bit strange.

Had a quick look and it looks like it would cost a minimum of £2000 plus the cost of driving to Denmark to take a car on the ferry. Suppose it might be worth while if there's a group of you with a lot of kit in a van or 4x4, think hiring in Iceland is pricey.

peasy23 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 One of the these is seen about our village now and again. Left over from the USA/Vietnam war. I see loads of old classic 50's USA cars when driving down to Hua Hin every few months. Seen one of these last time (taking over me at a fair few knots) I was watching James May's people's cars yesterday, and they reckon that the first car seen by almost a third of the world's population was a US Army jeep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Back in the 90's whilst on holiday in Cyprus I drove off the A1 north to Nicosia to check my map and three old Grants of Fife tipper trucks flew past covering the jeep in stoor, cost me £10Cyp to get the fucking thing valeted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of people who took their car (complete with Invernesian number plate!) with them to drive round the Faroe Islands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
