12. The harliquins valver! LOL
13. Colins 4x4 Cossie van (soon)
14. Gary M from up saline way still has his black GSI I think

J plate one? looks a bit rough just now? if so its a guy i know, stays in Kirkcaldy.

Didn't know there were that many around Dunfermline area though!!

Think mine may be one of only a few in glenrothes, only other ones i've seen are a dark blue 3door mk2 driven by an old woman, car sits in Leslie quite a bit. Seen a red one sitting in Woodside a couple of times too, only had a quick glance at it on passing.

Last time i saw the blue one she was driving it with a black bag taped over the front drivers quarter window!
