Spotted on Riverside Drive, Dundee at 08.30 today - I take it you got the brakes freed as there was no smoke! Do you work at Ninewells Hospital?

Hi Mike! I did feel a bit self conscious in traffic this morning..

Yes - I'm a child psychiatrist so I work between Carseview, Ninewells and Dudhope. Yourself?

I got the caliper pistons quite a bit free-er by manually pushing them out and in, but there was still a bit of heat in the wheels today..getting better though.

Couple more of my mates pics before I get back to doing something constructive:

That's described as a driver!!!

Your camera must be very forgiving, because it looks pretty good to me.

Why did you feel self conscious, the admiring looks?

It's usually a friendly reaction and after a while you'll begin to enjoy it, especially when you get the thumbs up from passers by. If you were in a nice 997 you might get another hand gesture.

Hi Johnny - I work at the Medical School, in a cancer research lab. It was good to see the car on my commute to work, lifted my spirits seeing something nice amongst all the usual stuff you see on the roads.

Cool, my car has been striped and lowered and I've not had it a week 8)
Bootsy and cubist, you make a beautiful couple, by the way.

The camera is my mate's Yamaha, sorry, Sony R1, so there is every chance it is actually lying, its that good. Should be up at some point during the weekend so you can see her close up, warts n all..

..no not THOSE type of warts.
