Well, I think I'm the only one on here from this area, but I'll list the few that I do see every now & then. You never know, someone might be watching...
M41 RKN - 2.3 (I think) saloon in Tourmallard
P4 WLC - 2.3 Ultima saloon, again in Tourmallard.
Both of these I recognise as ex-taxis. There's also another ex-taxi which lives around the corner from me nan. That's an S-plate Ultima in Atlantic Blue. Yet again, I think its a 2.3
I'll update this list as and when I dicover more details.

Went to get me haircut today. Only been going there for the past 4 or 5 cuts, but every time I've seen a really clean Scorpio parked in the road outside.
Finally asked who it belonged to today. Hey presto, its the hair man! Asked him how he liked it (if he liked it) and how he found it.
"OK" was the reply. And that was about it. He really didn't seem interested in this forum or the site or mailing list.
It seems its 'just a car' to him, which is a shame. As I said, its really quite a clean example. Aubergine in colour with dark cloth trim. Plain 'Scorpio' in the badge department so I don't know what engine it has. It's an auto-box though.
Might try again next time

Thats the trouble with hairdressers, They are normally poofs and not that interested in cars unless it is a convertable,

Cor Blimey! Hello mate.
I've been seeing you around for ages but have never got the chance to talk or even slip something under your windscreen wiper.
As I said before, I think you live (or did) around the corner from my nan. But am I right about it being an ex-Arrow car?
And I haven't seen the Atlantic Blue facelift one for a while. Is that still around? Hmm.... I should visit me nan more often!

Hello Paul, yes you are quite right it was an arrow car for a while. I have recently decided to spend some money and make a tatty car nice again, so bit by bit it should end up looking sweet again, hence looking and joining this great site. Yes the blue facelift is still about, its my mate down the road from me, itake it you mean R***SSR?

That's the one.
If you're having bodywork done, I'd be interested to know who you use. The guy who's done my stuff in the past is, well... not in my good books anymore . I need someone new thats good and trustworthy

Yes, i've got quite a bit to do to the body, my wife kindly dented n/s/r wheel arch and there are a couple of other imperfections to be dealt with, but i'm also going for a complete respray and not sure who to use myself. Maybe between us we may be able to come up with someone
I plan to facelift it, and hopefully make it a very nice car once again. It still isnt too bad, but, after seeing the likes of yours and Baz's, i'm a little ashamed
