Red 458 at Monks Cross, _Leg_ perhaps? Also some form of TVR coming off the A64 toward Monks Cross, sounded lovely and the driver liked the loud pedal.

Also a TVR Chimaera (?) between Castle Howard and Malton behind me at some temp lights.

A Blue Morgan aero 8 coupe in Morrisons car park in Wetherby and then on the A58 heading towards Leeds followed a Silver BMW Z3 M Coupe which I thought was a rare spot.. Only to see a yellow won pass in the opposite direction which flashed it lights at it..

White Evo X, red Chimera, white Celica on Kirkstall Rd yesterday afternoon.

Lovely white M635 csi on Otley Rd this afternoon with a blue 850 a few cars behind. Grey Aventador on Scothall Rd with a R8 spyder this evening. Blue Range Rover SVR outside Flying Pizza and an V8 Vantage nearby and a black Elise. Also spotted what looked like a 911 targa of a fine vintage in Roundhay and a 911 (possibly a 993?) nearby.

Not I, I was out in my Daytona Yellow 1972 Escort BDA RS1600 at Temple Newsham for the show. Gives me the tingles overtime I drive it.

I saw a white T350 yesterday. Possibly on the ring road between the AM/Maserati/Ferrari Garage and the Porsche garage, maybe around midday? My memory is bloody shocking. I get points for remembering the car though, right?

This was Saturday, sorry. Reg looked similar to yours, that's what made me think.

Ah, so you were parked more or less behind the 6R4 then? Tried to convince other half how good a 6R4 would be at traffic lights but sadly no luck.

If you like 6R4s then next week (23rd) is the Burley-in-Wharfedale car show. For the last 3 years an immaculate 6R4 has been on display there.

Your Escort was very, very nice and caught my eye among the other Fords. One of my customers in Wrenthorpe had his BDA engine stolen from his garage a few years ago. Worth a fortune now I believe?

Where was the show? I saw a few things on my travels and thought there must be something on.

Something, I don't even know what it exactly was, had me perplexed yesterday. In Horsforth there was an aquatic car of some sort, one ice ever seen before. Was only quite small, not like the one that turns up to Cars in the Park sometimes. Anyone else seen it about?

OT - Craig, do you sell parts at your gaff, or is it strictly car sales/servicing?
