I noticed this on Monday. Currently looks lovely, but they haven't hit it with the ugly stick yet.

White R8 V10 and a Matte Blue M5 F10 with Akrapovic Exhausts (Which sounded rather fruity for an M5 F10), both on Clifford Street.

Numerous Ferraris staying at the Black Swan in Helmsley. Several 458s including 2 Speciales, Californias, all red. All upstaged by the dark grey BMW i8 in the car park opposite, especially when it flipped both doors up.

Was there with Autobahn stormers, some great cars there, McClaren leaving with Aston and Bentley was a nice sight.

Hi there,

Looks like they had a run over to the coast as I saw them in Whitby around 12 midday

Saw this parked by Nab Lane tip in Birstall just now.
Nice summer daily driver I think!


I have seen that up there before.
It looks lovely.


I saw a 61 plate black Bentley Continental GT being driven like a complete bellend this morning on the M62 where the link to the M1 goes off (in the 4 lane bit). Firstly came up in lane one at well over a ton, changed across into lane 2 as some bloke in a scirocco was trying to get from lane 2 to lane 1 (not expecting someone to be doing that speed in that lane) then went from lane 2 back to lane 1 and did a last second cut back into lane 2 to avoid rear ending one car whilst causing the car in lane 2 to throw the anchors out to avoid being hit by him.
Very impressive rolleyesto manage to have 3 near misses in under 30 seconds

A day of interesting spots. E92 M3 in lime green near the VW dealer on Leeds Rd in Huddersfield this morning, also spotted a red E24 6 series parked up nearby and what seemed to be some godawful bodykitted LS400 with flip paint.

Black R8 V10 spider and an orange MNR Vortx on the M62 early this evening heading towards Huddersfield. Bmw 2002 on the M62 just past junction 14 heading back to Yorkshire. Red 458 spider in Mirfield and finally a silver Monaro making a lovely burble in Oakwood.

Oh and a special mention to the fkwit who must have been over the limit in Brighouse this evening in his blue Peugeot 307. Started proceedings by cutting up the car I was a passenger in at the roundabout and was then swerving around in the wrong lane before pulling up on the footpath near the Junction 25 Cafe and passing out after switching the engine off. Tried my best to get through to the non emergency number to report him but no one answered. Was on hold for 10 mins the first time round before the line went dead and 12 mins the second time round. Useless folk at WYP!

If I was 90% sure the driver was drunk, I'd have 999'd I think.

Wow, that is a stunning colour - and the quality of the paint looks superb.
