Sightings during a few days in Perthshire last week:
1] The Trabi bought as a 40th birthday present for the current owner of the Edradour distillery: photos at http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-6862-46898-Pics__specially_made_for_IMCDB_fellows.html#p46898 .
2] A JDM-spec RHD automatic Nissan estate with UK plates. Looked like Nissan trying to make a Subaru Legacy - nothing like this ever sold normally in UK. ingo might recognise the location in Dunkeld.
3] A GTM Mini-based kit-car on a trailer in a private garden seen from the road in Tummel Bridge. Impossible to photo, but it is this one http://www.gtmdrivers.com/forum/alex-s-gulf-coupe-t82.html with a Q plate and delicious Gulf livery. Same mid-engined format and late 60s origin as the Unipower, but not as pretty. I guess this is one of the later reproductions - http://www.ijohnson.demon.co.uk/gtmoc/gtmhist.htm .

Things seen in Orkney:
2010 Orkney Vintage Club rally - locally-owned Tickford Capri (non-original cherished plate)
locally-owned Renault 21 Quadra Turbo and M5
2009 photos of a locally-owned Ferrari two seater. Not sure which model, but it looks familiar ...

What's the car in your avatar. BTW?
Bizzarrini 1900GT Europa, from a 2003 Palermo to Glasgow rally finishing at the old Glasgow Museum of Transport.
About 10 cars altogether. The Bizz was absolutely droolable, but only about as high as a small dog. Various Fiats and Alfas as well.
I happened upon some shortened Typ 2's at the grocery store today (but was too late to get any free cheese 
)

Spotted this fox-themed Fiat Panda Cross today:
Maybe not particularly interesting to most but you don't see these so often any more and I like them:
It seems the picture was too big. Let's try it again.

Something for dsl:
From today:
Ugly as hell, but I even like it - for sure unusual - Nissan Sentra B11:
(old times of the individual import - still black reg. plates)
Less unusual, SAAB 900 Turbo for maniacs:
And a bit older pic from autumn (I even forgot, I have it in phone) - MB W111 and vintage Jelcz 043 - small exhibition at the metro station during the Day of the public transport...
... however I was in hurry and could take pictures of a few newer buses only
The most interestng was perhaps the Solaris Vacanza based "Vampirobus":
EDIT: Imageshack lost the pics - dead links have been removed.
