We had a Delorean years ago and it was the biggest pile of slow crap i have ever driven.

Still, many kudos points awarded for going down that route

Indeed, despite their foibles and lack of speed they are on my list of in the future (no pun intended) cars.

They are an old Renault V6 coupled to an equally as old slushmatic gearbox iirc?

A certain yellow Boxster stickered up for Le Mans just went past my office. That was us last year, not at all jealous

That was quite likely me. Hello, just got back from the race today.

You missed a good one.

I saw an aggressive looking 991 turbo S in horsforth earlier, and a pearly white alfa 4/8c (I didn't get a good look) the other side of Weetwood roundabout.

Both looked awesome

Yellow Caterfield type car in Morrisons at Rothwell this evening.

[Viperzs]

Orange S2 Exige and a red VXR8 yesterday on York ring road between Clifton Moor and Wiggington Road roundabout.

Unfortunately neither of them being driven in anger!

I hope you didn't hear the noise from my brakes as I drove past. Saying that they might have been drowned out by the blowing exhaust.

Quite a few yesterday on the A1 with in a few mins of each other near Pontefract.

Red Ferrari F12
White 997 Turbo Convertable

Then a small convoy 2x Mclaren's, Gallardo Spyder, RS6 (i think), 991 911 and a Ferrari 550/575 all with Le mans 24 stickers all over them (im guessing Le mans as i saw a big 24 on the side)

[Jimmy No Hands]

Saw a white TVR wedge with a reg ending TVR the other day, up in Birstall.

Orange Ford GT parked up outside the Ferrari garage in Leeds about 10 minutes ago. First one ivr ever seen and it looked stunning!

Black 997 Turbo YES 55 in Sainburys Doncaster this evening.

[Cleon Fonte]

Saw a young bloke in a gold Morris Marina in Sheffield earlier, replete with Status Quo on full blast.

Also a Rover P6.

That would be the Avro Mirage 720 variant then, one of only ten made. A bit more info here: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/alfa-romeo/gt/...

Possibly this one?

A nice C7 RS6 stupidly stole one of our parking spots at work today. Menacing looking thing.

Yeh that's the one. I can't believe that video was taken about 10 minutes from my parents house in Sheffield. Some serious cars on that video!

Black Renault 5 GT Turbo driving towards Armley Gyratory.

Beauty.

Regarding the orange GT, passed the Ferrari dealers last night and can confirm it's the Avro Mirage 720 edition, currently sat gleaming in the front window.
Will have to re-visit I think, looked bloody lovely.

Will have to have a look again tonight when I go home. I wonder how much it's going to go on sale for. Plus I wonder what the owner traded it in for?

[giblet]

Is the MC12 still in the showroom? Never got round to going back whilst the dealership was open to have a proper look at it.
