On route back from a "Thomas & Friends" steam railway outing to Boness and I spotted 20 cooper S models, (2 transporters, 10 each) travelling up the A80, probably headed for Aberdeen for the UK press Launch next week.

All colours represented but mainly DS and EB, Boy am I glad I went for DS/White roof......One on the front was this and in the flesh(ok metal) it's a stunner. I just have to wait but this "teaser" has made the wait seem even longer.

anyone else see them? It was about 13:30 hrs

Sorry, didn't have the digicam with me, only my old leica but I was driving and the kids would not have appreciated a handbrake turn and fast pursuit!!

Yesterday after work I headed down to Portsmouth to stop with my sister for the weekend. At about 8.00 pm I was heading south on the A34 (Oxford-Newbury bypass) and on the opposite carriage way spotted two transporters full of Cooper S's heading north!!! Nearly hit the $£*&%$£$% central reservation trying to get a good peek!! All I really saw was electric blue as these really stood out.
Maybe these were the same transporters spotted in scotland today?? Or maybe not!!

I must say the EB ones were hard to miss

It's great living IN Aberdeen.

Hey DocT I heard you were driving a Cooper to it's terminal understeer limit .

It was yours!!

check out the wedge profile tyres you now have

Think it might be something to do with uneven weight distribution (ie to much amidships...and thats just me!!!)

My brother, who also now owns a Cooper, was driving on the South Deeside Road last night in Aberdeen (you'll know it if you live there) and was flashed by an EB Cooper S....
