Was driving up Carden Place in Aberdeen just half an hour ago and had a blue Porsche of some description behind me. No idea what it was but spoke to a chap at work and quickly found out it was this very car (not my photo obviously):



Awesome thing, could hear it even from behind me.

I was walking along Queens Rd when it passed me. Looked amazing coming towards me from a distance - really low and wide. Fantastic to see one on the road

Yeah I had no idea what it was, clocked the Porsche badge and the 996 style headlights but I'm not that clued up on Pork (-20 PH points) so had to ask a colleague. I just wish I'd been behind it for a better look and listen!

Followed a white Gallardo Spyder and an Alfa 4c up the road from Tarbet towards Crianlarich on Saturday.

Was all going well until the Gallardo pulled a slightly dodgy overtake causing the vehicle coming the other way to have to almost come to a halt, who just happened to be the traffic police.

Last saw the Gallardo being pulled over in a flurry of blue lights at The Drovers - hope they were nice to you.

I was in the Zenos, well spotted - most people don't have a clue what it is.
That was the only police car I saw all weekend too. We drove up to Aviemore for a Scottish Elises get together that night then back down on Sunday. The drive up was great even with the rain.
So what did the Bib's say to you mate? teacher

We did turnberry & Inverness & Edinburgh
I think it worked in his favour he is late 50's not a boy racer smile but still got points, and he said they were very polite , I couldn't believe it when the silver Audi with blue roof rack was a copper !! I am sure he will have had bragging rights back at the nick !
It could have been anyone of us !
How do you like the zenos, what was you mates lotus I could only see it in my mirrors then with all the excitement didn't get a good look ! I have a v6 exige also
You didn't have any go pro footage of it did you

That was a 2-11 behind me.

Love the Zenos, when it's not too cold or wet, the lack of roof and windscreen can be a challenge. It drives great both on the road and track, seems far better suited to the road than the 2-11 is.

I don't use the go-pro on the road so no footage I'm afraid.

Also a very wide red Porsche yesterday afternoon. Sorry, I'm not very good with Porsche type numbers.

I didn't see "him" either but got an excellent view of the back of the Porsche as it passed me on his way to Knockhill!

Sitting in Edinburgh. Stunning.

Also seen an orange Gallardo on Glasgow Rd on sunday, looked incredible. Unusual wheels looked maybe off a Huracan
