I've spotted a green Supra in Kirkstall a few times recently, saw it parked in a disabled bay at the Morrisons this morning.

Went to my workplace on Kirkstall Rd last night at 18:00ish and the water wasn't too bad. Shell further down was flooded and the cops had blocked the road off outside our office. Before I left they had moved the roadblock further back before the Ford dealership.

Went back at 23:30 and there was a full flowing river there! Went down again this morning and it had receded a bit but still not passable. Looks like it's been raining again this evening though. I feel bad for the owner of the recording studio in the basement of the building.

Red 360 in Roundhay this afternoon, aftermarket exhaust sounded nice.

The poor 'Shell' guys Merc. It always looked in great nic'.

As for the studio, the guy was due to open it in Feb
His Merc did look like a clean example, it's a shame! That looks like a different studio behind the offices where I work. Went down last night and the road has been cleared of water but there is plenty of mud and debris around there.

Do you know how high it reached on our building?


That's how high it was at around 23:45 on Saturday. It may have crept up a tad higher to the top of the green cable/virgin media box later on in the night. The submerged arches have wood on the face of them so water will have found its way in through there and down into the studio.

Red Ferrari California with a black roof near Pool Bank this evening.

Not really a proper spotted but had a look at the Aventador SV at Motorhub this afternoon as I was in the area and wanted to have a quick look around an E90 M3 saloon. Keighly is the last place I'd expect a half a million pound motor to be parked up!

Ex hire or damage repaired gallardos and F430s are one thing, a new Aventador SV is a differenr kettle of fish. Well in my eyes anyway. I know all about their rep, once made the mistake of viewing a car at the old site when they traded as KTC. The stock at the new location is a tad eclectic with the usual jap metal and supercars but then things like a TR6, a SL Pagoda, a Sagaris (cat D mind) and a Delta Integrale thrown in.

Indeed, but those guys are loaded don't fool yourself just because they have a bad rep doesn't mean they don't have money was my point to your surprise.



I figured they had a bit of cash. Just wonder who would be stupid enough to buy a car like that from a trader like those guys. Aside from a chemist or a footballer of course. The likes of Tom Hartley, fake Sheikh Amari et al flipping a 750 SV is one thing, but these guys?
