This lovely Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG on the A19 at lunchtime,
It sounded fantastic as it left everybody at the traffic lights.
Was the plate CL 4? I think an old friends dad has just got one.
Also what apeared to be a 1973 porsche 911 body on the back of a trailer in stokesley this afternoon, looked beautiful!
Sorry mcavoy, the first 3 digits of the index were definitely '111' however for the life of me can, i remember what the 3 letters were.

It was at the silver link Audi garage on Thursday it looked awesome. Spotted a new Yamaha R1 (blue & silver) south of Stanhope this morning.
They look much better in the flesh than in print.

TVR Cerbera spotted on the A174 Marske by-pass. Sounded lovely as you went past us.

Also nice sounding Maserati at Teesside park, brave man trying to park there.

If it was a dark blue / black cerb that might have been me. Sun was out and just got the urge for a blast. I never get sick of the sound.

Red Lotus in Bedlington tonight then 5 minutes later an Orange Lambo heading towards Bedlington on the Horton road.
The lotus may have been me if it was an Exige. The Orange Lambo is a local decorator I believe.

Rubbish picture but this was on Linthorpe Road today. Only Spider I've seen in Middlesbrough.



No idea why the picture has gone sideways.

Think it was at Cars in the Park at Newby Hall on Sunday last - its quite tall

There were also 2 california and some 360/430 replicas there - flattery is nice, but the most important bit is wrong for me - the engine!

Classic 911 from the 70s going up the A68 before it pulled up in Toft Hill.

I got the thumbs up from a yellow van with a spanner on the top (Gas Services, I think).

What is that based on? A ford probe/ cougar? As least the MR2 355 replicas are based on a car that was alright as a drivers car to start with. Also had the engine in the right place.
