Twice in a day!! Ye most likely me...with the colour of the car and the huge carbon wing it's not exactly under the radar I suppose :-)

Was actually half sleeping as only on first coffee so didn't notice....
laugh You did glance round. A big grin and a wave could have been interpreted in all the wrong ways!

Ah think I remember now, had been thinking right in Muirhead but guessing now it was on dual carriageway going towards the Dolly Parton roundabout, dark fiesta maybe?

Black Ibiza FR - same plate as username. Followed you out of the village and overtook you just before the Dolly Parton RAB. (Now I feel like a stalker...)

Now, I wasn't smoking anything or drinking but I'm 99% sure I saw a black Alfa RZ (Spider version of SZ) in Aberdeen (Gt Northern Rd) on Monday afternoon. Is this a known car?

I'm fairly sure they're all LHD, is he in Aberdeen (or NE Scotland)? Just odd as its such an unusual car I've always had a soft-spot for. I've only ever seen the SZ at MPH Shows before, never on the road.

wavey That'd be me, on the way home. I've tried to use it as often as I can this summer, but it's maybe only been out once or twice a week - I reckoned Monday might be the last dry day till March...

Hi Jamie, just saw the other thread with reports of you driving around as well. Nice car and glad to see one being used and not a museum piece.

Red Atom on Perth rd Dundee yesterday evening - anyone here?

Wearing a helmet - I'd have had goggles on for such a nice night smile
I would think it was most likely Northnoble
And again yesterday lunchtime - same place, I had just come out of Goodfellow & Stevens with some tasties - no helmet this time - much better, could see the grin on your face biggrin

You certainly turned plenty heads wink

Guilty.....decided to fuel up in case I made the last Crail day on Sunday.......unfortunately the hangover after an extended birthday party won though!

Weather for no helmet almost over.....less than 10 degrees and the grin is still there but the ears start to fall off!ears

This winters project is bigger /wider wheels to increase the mechanical grip........didn't realise when I bought it that it had 15" wheels all round where as almost all 3 300's have 16" rears!!

Black Mini Cooper S parked at St Margarets Care Home in Edinburgh near Cameron Toll?

Lovely wee car and unexpected age of driver, not being rude, honest!
