Spotted on Billy Connolly's Word Tour of Scotland last night on Dave - Flash Silver GTX by the looks of it, following Billy's maroon Range Rover round the streets of Edinburgh. Didn't catch the reg unfortunately!

Is there any merit in suggesting we don't bother spotting mk3's? They're so popular now that it's not very interesting if someone sees one. Plus I expect 99% of the drivers wouldn't be on here, unlike mk1 and mk2 owners, so it'd almost be a miracle to get a "that was me"! What do yous reckon? Just a thought to keep the thread worth reading. By the way, that's not a criticism of anyone who has posted mk3's!

Um, not sure that would be very popular with the owners of mk2s that also have a mk3!

I mentioned this a while ago. But the general consensus seemed to be that despite it being almost entirely pointless posting them up here :read: , people wanted to do it. So there we go.

Exchanged flashes with a Mk2 about 30 minutes ago on the B3000 outside Guildford. Think it was a Helios Blue GTX, didn't catch the plates.

Made my day cos that's the first time I've seen another 'rocco whilst driving :vcool: Gave a rather overenthusiastic thumbs up.
