New year, new thread.

Grey C63 AMG parked up just off Leeds Rd in Bradford last night. Not spotted Turboman's C63 yet. Saw the usual plethora of S3's and RS3's in Bradford too.

If you see a 3 Series, it might be me, or it might not be, who knows? There's quite a lot of them around.
Think I got one spot last year in my old, more noticeable car.

My plan of seeing an F40, F50 or Enzo last year failed, maybe this year.

Are you looking for in the wild spots or do car shows count? I've managed to spot a few F40's in the wild in Leeds, and somehow managed to spot an F50 in the wild in London. Spent a fair bit of time drooling over Enzo's at a few different Ferrari days at Silverstone.

I'm talking in the wild. I've seen an F40 and Enzo at Beaulieu a few years ago, stunning cars.
I've seen that a few people have spotted an F40 in Leeds but I rarely go there and don't want to go round aimlessly on the off chance that I'd see one.
I did see a Zonda in York before I joined here, which is my best spot in Yorkshire ever, I wouldn't mind seeing another.

It's a case of luck. The F50 spot in central London was pretty immense. Would be nice to see an Enzo in the wild. Leeds seems to have a large amount of nice metal hidden away. Spotted a 288 GTO on the Ring Road near Moortown a few years back and was shocked.Yet to spot a Zonda in the wild, would be an awesome spot though! Spent some time drooling over one at H R Owen a few months back and they are insane.

I keep spotting a blue R36 estate in the West Park/Adel area. I agree, they are pretty rare.

Unfortunately not, my car ownership status is still in a bit of a decline. I was just being silly smile

I saw this in Costco in Leeds tonight though... A real minter.

Saw a nice new white Focus RS parked just off Halifax old road in Huddersfield. You must live there because I always see you :-).

This afternoon, parked opposite each other in Cleckheaton, a black 13 plate M5 and across the road a black GTR.
In Heckmondwike town centre a red Lotus 7 look-a-like with young chap driving looking like James May as was wearing googles and braving the weather.
Then a silver 1978 Midget in same area.

Now sit back and wait for JordanClarkson to out do me hehe

Well I haven't spotted much lately but did see a Blue Continental GT and 300ZX driving by Calder Park in Wakefield this afternoon, and a brand new Porsche 991 GT3 :O
