White Celebration in St Andrews
Walked past it today in the parking between Argyle Street and Doubledykes road. Have seen it a few times before but was on foot today so had a cheeky look in. Its No. 451!.
Lula's parked just down the road from you!

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
That's mine!
Purchased her about 18 months ago, really nice. Probably the best out of the 4 I've owned.
What does Lula look like Captain?

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
Wow, didnt think you were a member, welcome to the forum!
Saw you yesterday morning again as I was walking down Market Street
Lula is that dark red/burgundy colour that most GT's ended up being, and she's missing a spoiler . You'll be lucky to spot her now as she's kept in a garage up the morrisons end of town and only brought out at weekends

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
Thanks for the welcome.
I've been a member for a while but could never seem to log in. But all sorted now.
I think I have seen Lula a couple of times before and I think I parked beside her at the back of Kinburn park one day.
I also own a J reg Blue 1.7LE that has been off the road for a couple of years, she needs a good few quid and a lot of TLC to get back on the road and I cannot afford to and I don't have the heart to scrap her.

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
It provides a ready supply of parts though?
I do agree however, you shouldnt scrap a 480, is it a two tone? they can look lovely

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
This 480 has driven past me when I've been on my bike twice within the last week. Still very much alive then!

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
Yes, still alive and going strong.
Just past the 98k miles, still runs and drives like new (well I think so as I've never driven a new one)
I had to scrap my two tone as a few slates came of the roof and totally killed the back window and roof!
Will be doing some TLC on the body this summer as last winter forced some serious rust to show..

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
Spotted you driving past me this evening at ~8pm! I was the (probably) gormless idiot looking chap coming out of his house on Freddie Tait Street as you drove past, I didnt quite know what to do to say hi!
Did the two tone go to a local scrappy? wondering if I want any bits!

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
Sorry but I didn't see you!
The two tone went to a scrappy in Dundee, but not sure which as I got a friend to arrange it as he put it on his trailer as she wouldn't budge and all the wheels were locked up.
Maybe see you the next time I pass you.
I am considering changing the gearbox to a manual on my celebration so she maybe of the road for a bit as I am also going to have a new paint job too as I have now damaged the front wing as well as the back one now
A bit of TLC happening this summer to bring it back to looking new and cool again.

Sounds grand, I'll have to look closely to work out which white celeb I've seen-have spotted you in the distance on Tom Morris in the last week

Re: White Celebration in St Andrews
The new one is ending in MAP and it doesn't promote my business on the back window yet!
The old one is parked up just off tom morris in a residential car park across from the football park.
Will be tweaking it ready to sell
~I'm often there with both at the same time and get some looks from people. As the look identical give or take a few rusty bits!
