Saw Sytner Sheffield's i8 demonstrator on Derek Dooley Way this morning, looked incredible among all the dull traffic and sounded surprisingly good when he booted it up the Parkway cool
What colour is it?

I'm tempted.

Two Ferraris in York yesterday. First was a 458 in white(I think) on the A1237 at Poppleton, second a red 360 Spider at KFC in Clifton Moor.

A PH smiley stickered white M3 merged infront of me on the m621 this evening. Reg 'R99 ***'

Sounded awesome. (I was in the RM van if you're reading)

a19 near shipton (York) early 60's ferrari GTO on the back of a flatbed. If it is the genuine article it will be worth mi££ions - £20 million 2 years ago, it also had No.22 decals on the doors.

Not posting on here so much these days - but when I see an H-reg Supra turbo I get my arse in gear! Was in Howden yesterday, dark blue, looked good.

Apart from an old Panhard and an immaculate Mini Countryman, nothing other than scene VWs caught my eye lately.

It was a stunning blue, bit lighter than Estoril and really eye-catching next to all the boring silver/black/grey cars and I include myself in that wink

Thanks.

I'm interested to hear that you thought it sounded good too.

Was it loud/different/distinctive/etc?

Well I'm basing that on the fact it's a hybrid, the 3-cylinder resembled a more muted flat-6 to my ears. It would never beat a normal 6-cylinder petrol engine but if I was considering one the sound (or worries about the lack of it) definitely wouldn't put me off. I would probably place the noise between a standard 4-pot and a 911 in terms of quality.

Spotted what looked to me like a new GT3 RS in Doncaster yesterday evening.
It was black, had the same nose and rear wing, private plate, RHD but i think it had 4 tailpipes. Was being filled up with petrol by a guy in a forces uniform. Sounded like the devil when it pulled off and also sounded like a manual.
No idea what it was exactly but it looked ace!
Wish i'd got a pic

M5 estate, bright orange with racing stripes in hyde park. Not sure if it was real as I'm not sure why you'd do that to a real one, but if it wasn't they put a lot of effort into making it look like one.

Yep...Didn't think that there would be a connection between the disappearance and a pub so near to where i live...

Saw a lovely old E-Type V12 Convertible on the A1237, Skyline R33 parked in Poppleton and a silver R8 in Woodthorpe.

4 tailpipes = not a GT3

Some form of carrera in an Aerokit most likely

Saw a/the light blue BMW i8 on the A59 near Blubberhouses this afternoon.

It looked absolutely superb, I'm very very tempted with one.
