Grey mk1 Tuscan on the a1 southbound near causey park this morning...made a nice change from the tractors and lorries!
That was more than likely me heading back south after Easter leave at home. Just bought the car from Hexham Horesless Carriages last week. Only sorry I didn't have more time on the epic North East roads before having to head back to the South West and roads chocker with Sunday drivers, everyday!

Certainly looked like car Fergus - nice - but then we all love a TVR eh!

I'm not really in the habit of doing "spotted" posts, but yesterday and today have resulted in me being in the right place at the right time to witness the aural delights as amplified by natural terrain.

First the Corvette in a covered car park yesterday and today a beautiful metallic blue, V12 Vantage on the Gateshead side of the Tyne Bridge at about 15:40.

Saw a Z4MR yesterday am on it's way into Northallerton. Seen before, always gives me a pang of regret!!

Followed shortly by a Noble 3R heading towards Northallerton on the a684. Haven't seen one in the wild before. Loved it.

Mk1 Escort RS2000 heading down Marton Rd and off onto Low Lane this am.
Looked immaculate - white with blue detailing. Restored I assume?

Spent most of this morning questioning wether I should take my camera out or not, and I didn't. Wish I did.

Was also a white RR Ghost on linthorpe road outside KFC at around half 6 this afternoon.
Lots of RS audi's, Bright orange F10 M5, White Caterham also.
Good day really!

1.45pm today on A19 North (Middlesbrough) was a cracking MKII Escort 1300 Sport in Pale Blue, turned off for Acklam... and then an Orange Focus ST and a Dakar Yellow e92 M3 (DCT) shot by having a play... Inevitably the Focus gave up and pulled in early for the A174 but I must say the howl from the V8 M3 while pressing on was sublime... wink

Thought I'd join in biggrin Caterham, Cadmium yellow-type colour with black decals (as far as I can tell, saw it through the hedge) rumbling off up into the Durham Dales through Crook yesterday. A GTR parks on a regular basis in the house opposite us which is used a base for a business, which I have no problems with, quiet business and I get to hear the rumble of the GTR on a regular basis biggrin (and occasionally it being floored going out of Howden as I pass it on the way home).

The worst though has to be a god awful washed out pale yellow/pale lime green mix and matte black Bentley Continental convertible that I see on a semi regular basis parked up outside Halfords/Barclays bank in Bishop Auckland (with the latest sighting yesterday).

Beautiful black Corvette in Norton High St earlier today. And there was either a nice 306 rallye going into Greatham yesterday, or I gave the owner of a bog standard old white Peugeot a flash and a thumbs up...

Renault Twizy weaving its way through the Newcastle rush hour traffic this morning.

I hope it doesn't rain as the doors don't fit the holes they are supposed to fill !
