Not mine this time - oh ye of little faith! (Im at work anyway :P)

The Silver VTS in edinburgh which has been spotted twice on sax-p

First Time (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37797) - Rozvtr

Second Time (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48138) - Me

Anyway i just caught a thread on the edinburgh cruise forums which had this to say:

"Wrote the saxo off last nite on Colinton Road - Through a puddle and aqau planed - slammed the brakes on which put me in a spin, hit the metal barrier at the side of the road which spun me round in2 a wall? At least thats wat i think happened. Happened so quick ... Derek and Sio hav got pics so ill get them up sumtime let uz all have a peek. Would love 2 find the only person that stopped for me (taxi driver, bout 6 ft baldy lookin fella - any1 know him? ha) rest of the feckers can do 1 for driving past. Keep uz posted on the insurance side of things"

Gutted that the only other mk2 VTS iv seen in edinburgh is no more. The driver, Dean, is ok though, think there was enough spins to slow him down so he wasnt too badly injured.

I'll update with pics when he does!
