There are a few round Dundee all of a sudden - a red NA I've seen a couple of times, there was a murple one parked at Novartis beside the Kingsway on Wednesday and a broomer in Broughty Ferry last week.

Might have been me. One of the admin girls I work with lives in Cumbernauld (up Abronhill way) dropped her off the other day.

Ha ha - you're not wrong! However it is doing 500 motorway miles a week at the moment, so does tend to get a bit mucky.

Spotted a Sprint Blue coop around Glasgow’s Merchant City last night. First I’ve seen in the wild! (Not counting GrahamL’s)

I see my own car every day. That counts, I’m sure.

Could be worse. Last year I had a Mazda MX-6. I’ve STILL never seen another one of those anywhere.

I *did* see another Coupé two or three weekends ago! Dark green, pulled over by the Police somewhere out around the back roads of Edinburgh/Livingston. Uh-oh …

Dark green... Hmm- I used to know where that Scotty lived once upon a time...

Saw the 20v again today- I think someone who works at National Tyres has bought it: I'm going to ask if it's still there on Saturday- try and get em to join the cause...

Simon this looks like the coupe that was for sale in Dundee i viewed about a month ago... I spotted that odball tyre size fitted to the rear.

Sadly not a great example and thankfully I found something a little better.

You're right Brian it had 15's on the front (different makes) and 16's on the rear. Spoke to the new owner yesterday who's the MOT tester there, he bought it on Sunday for not very much.
Hasn't had a documented belt change since 2005 shocked

What did you get in the end?

Ha! that's nothing- mine had NEVER had a documented belt change- in it's life!

that was a tentative trip back up the M6 I can tell you...

hey- Rosso; are you saying it had different wheels front to back? Or that somebody had managed to fit wrong radius tyres to the same wheel types..?

It drove okay but as you say there was no evidence of a belt change and signs of rust around the pinin badges. I think the rear had a much higher profile tyre.

After a few runs up and down the country i picked up this in Bristol

Just as scary, even though it had done less than half the mileage!
