The car was positioned in the outside lane, causing an awkward obstruction to the heavy flow of traffic.

By 4pm, help had arrived to remove the vehicle - and likely its flustered owner.

"That's the Porsche at the bottom of Lothian Road getting on its way again with help from the recovery vehicle," Edinburgh Travel News reported.
