The C63 could well have been my friend and I. Followed a space grey M3 coupe down the A1(M) earlier, and saw a limited edition (blue) M3 convertible in York in the morning!

When this subject first started, it used to be for PHers that had been spotted or, "interesting" or unusual cars, preferably with a pic. I don't often look on this thread as seeing a "nice 911" or "cool Audi RS" doesn't really constitute interesting.

However, stumbling across this beast in the shadows on our way back from the New Year's Eve ball to our hotel I thought: Ah ha, I know that car! So in the spirit of PH spotteds wink

Al, isn't that the Mustang thats often seen around Leeds? (used to be parked outside Wildcats a lot before it was closed). Think it might have been the owner of Wildcats in fact and seem to recall the owner bought it with the PH sticker on it rather than a PHer himself. Certainly gets spotted regularly and never seen a reply on here considering its one of the most spotteds in Leeds!

Didn't realise they closed it, must be very recently (interfering City Council, no doubt).
Spotted the said car numerous times myself.
Parking enforcement officers were fond of it too. wink

I hope if you spot me in the 6 you'll say hello. I got few spots in the Exige despite the luminosity.

Saw.a Tesla Model S on the A19 near Skelton and then again at Clifton Moor, looked fantastic, shame the driver was one of those lemmings that blocked the roundabout at the end of Clifton Moor Gate.

Not a true 'spotted', but when you go past the Porsche garage in Leeds check out the dark blue Carerra GT in the showroom

Often see that around. There's another one too in the area and they only made a few in orange

That Mustang seems to be parked there nearly all the time, and I have seen it driving around Leeds a few times

That counts as it is a fellow PHer spot smile

(even if it is an Audi) wink

Must say, it was good fun to be out for a spirited run with your old Exige on Boxing Day.

You don't live in Cookridge do you? I've seen a lime green Exige driving up and down the street a good few times now. Can't see the number plate though.

Edit: Only just realised you were the guy who said you'd sold it in the other thread.
