One of those godawful Kahn Design Wrangler abominations pulled up alongside me on Kirkstall Rd last night. Looked like a sack of crap in red but at least the V8 sounded nice.

yup!!
What time are you setting off? Keep an eye out for a purple Galant VR4 and a black EP3. Will probably spot you on the M1 at some point!

Anyone seen the Pug that's wedged into the hedge at the mini roundabout on the way out from Bramhope to Golden Acre? Some wisearse has put a brilliant home made " Bramhope welcomes safe drivers" sign next to it biggrin

The ST could have been an unmarked Police car chasing the XFR for a reason, there is one knocking around that area. Also seen it on the M1 near sheffield.
Appeared to be a group of chavs in the ST, they kept on weaving through the traffic after the XFR decided to behave himself.


Red 458 spider parked up outside Gustos in Adel on Sunday evening.

Unmarked ST is YP63OOU...
Cheers. will keep an eye out for it next time I am in the area.

Saw that ruined CL that's been posted before by someone else. The one with the picnic table rear wing and the rear diffuser. Badged as a CLR, was parked up outside Slips Deli on Cardigan Rd a few days ago.

Cheers. I'll avoid having a play against any ST's next time I'm in the area!

A few from Tuesday afternoon. Mondeo estate with LM24 stickers on the M62 near Saddleworth as I was heading over to the wrong side of the Pennines. Black MK5 R32 that had been pulled by an unmarked BMW on my way back to the right side of the Pennines a few hours later. Orange Elise with the roof down on Cooper Bridge Rd in Mirfield.

Rather concerned to note that Kahn have a red DB5 sat in their Leeds showroom.
Yup, replaced the F12 a few weeks ago. Thankfully its not been fitted with any gash aftermarket wheels.

A day of interesting spots. E92 M3 in lime green near the VW dealer on Leeds Rd in Huddersfield this morning, also spotted a red E24 6 series parked up nearby and what seemed to be some godawful bodykitted LS400 with flip paint.

Black R8 V10 spider and an orange MNR Vortx on the M62 early this evening heading towards Huddersfield. Bmw 2002 on the M62 just past junction 14 heading back to Yorkshire. Red 458 spider in Mirfield and finally a silver Monaro making a lovely burble in Oakwood.

Oh and a special mention to the fkwit who must have been over the limit in Brighouse this evening in his blue Peugeot 307. Started proceedings by cutting up the car I was a passenger in at the roundabout and was then swerving around in the wrong lane before pulling up on the footpath near the Junction 25 Cafe and passing out after switching the engine off. Tried my best to get through to the non emergency number to report him but no one answered. Was on hold for 10 mins the first time round before the line went dead and 12 mins the second time round. Useless folk at WYP!

If I was 90% sure the driver was drunk, I'd have 999'd I think.
Yes, if he'd woken up again and set off driving that would constitute a threat to life
I was apprehensive about calling 999 after the st they gave me when I rang them just after my car had been stolen a few years back. He seemed pretty out of it, didn't look like he would be waking up any time soon but I'm hardly a great judge of that. I spent ~8 mins on hold again an hour later. Tried calling again today just to discuss the incident but again on hold for several minutes with no answer. I'll go for 999 if a similar situation ever arises.

New Impreza in mica blue on Kirkstall Rd last night. First one I've seen on the road as the others were on display at KT Green. Rather nice but also rather Evo X'ish.

Saw the white C63 black series coupe in Adel again. The perfect car for a stormtrooper!

"it's in the post"... does that still fly?
14 days grace for displaying if you tax it online BEFORE the current tax disc expires. I dropped my car off for some work on the 31st of August. Woke up the next day and realised I had forgotten to tax it so gave the dvla a call. Was told there is no grace period if you miss the expiry date. Had to get a tax disc from the post office and post it down.

All that will be redundant from next month when they get rid of the physical disc.

Followed a red mx5 in Hyde Park last night. Looked like an import, was lowered on aftermarket wheels and had a loud exhaust too. Anyone on here?

Opened the window in my office just as a white 458 Italia with black roof tore past (Kirkstall Rd). Possibly the same one that I've seen around a few times including at Malton a few years back. Glorious sound!

Some form of well aged Pork on display at the dealership in Leeds, possibly a 993. Looks great in mint green.

Silver Porsche Boxster Spyder parked outside the Hilton in Leeds this afternoon.
