I was followed by a Maroon (possibly wrong colour description) McLaren 12C travelling between Dunnington & Wheldrake a few weeks ago one evening.

Followed a white 11 plate M3 through Ravensthorpe/Mirfield last night. With a light blue Chimera further up the road that turned off just before Mirfield

Hello! Yup, came to the office in it today and came that way to avoid going on the motorway.

As with most businesses we have parking issues. If we all drove an original 595 we could park three times as many cars in the same spaces.

Got a new Denon Bluetooth Portable speaker yesterday so I can have music in any of the classics without messing about fitting stereos too. Works a treat.
Saw one on Saturday morning, can't for the life in me remember where I was though... laugh

Church Fenton, Selby, Drax area? Took my lad to school for a camping trip in the Abarth. Or possibly Escrick? Went to the cafe there for brunch with Mrs Leg after dropping him off.

Possibly not yourself then, it was somewhere between otley and ouseburn (narrows it down a bit).

Had a chuckle as we were following a newish one, in white, and the old one came the other way towards us, looked tiny in comparison!

Spotted a purple Z4M coupe this morning heading out of Morley to the Dewsbury roundabout just past the capitol park in Morley. Looked lovely.

"Ice blue" 650S leaving the hotel/gym in Dodworth yesterday, it looked absolutely fantastic.

That was me! Did you go into the standfield arms a little earlier? I was a few cars behind an a45 as I came down the hill from rawdon on my way to the shop. I saw the wedge on the way back home though.

My first spot in the ST despite the huge smiley!got speed loads in the puma.

Those A45s sound rude don't they! There's one at one of my gyms (chapel a squash club - not you is it!?) Which sounds mental.

Nah mate not me, the 45 sounds very naughty especially with the performance exhaust option, the rs3 I had previously sounds tame in comparison! Did you see the new Audi rs6 in porche cup blue? That has to worth a spotsmile

I think I missed that. Only other car of note was a very very loud suburu with a dump valve. Came out of Sainsbury's about 5 mins before me.

Yes pal, needed two front tyres and some wiper blades plus I fancied a change after 2.5 years, second longest car I've ever owned, have you still got the Mitsubishi?
