Not sure what version as it was dark and I'd had a fair few. I gave it a big round of applause as it past - mark of respect! It had a fairly big exhaust and was quite loud but not silly loud. Looked clean and well looked after and was heading towards Tollcross not particularly quickly though. Yours?

That would have been me. I was heading up to Bruntsfield waiting for me mate who had got stuck at the lights at the west end, hence the slow speed. Thanks for the vote of confidence though! PS the car was a 300

The car I saw was not a 300! It was dark and I was drunk but I can still tell the difference between a UK 300 and an imported WRX Sti!!!

Shame, I'd have waved to you too! Seen a few UK300s around the Edinburgh area and I think I briefly chatted to an owner once in a garage at the foot of Hillend. In fact, now I think about it I think we were both grumbling cause they didn't have any SUL left

Is that the one across the road from the Ship Inn - a good one that, fill up there sometimes when I'm on site in Musselburgh.

It's on the bend on the ledft, think it is the ship on the right, but as I don't drink there I'm not 100% sure !

Nope, black - reg ends ASF. Commute from Edinburgh to Haddington daily and as part of my job I am out and about in East Lothain quite a lot. Wave at scooby drivers but they don't seem to get it cause I still drive the VTS - doh!

What colour's your Saxo mate?

I'm often out Haddington way, I'll keep an eye out and a waving hand at the ready...

Black MKII and unmodified. It the only VTS I've seen in the Haddington area so shouldn't be too hard to spot.
