Saw a fair few TVRs sat outside the George and Dragon in Whitley just after 1pm yesterday. Its possible that that was en route to/from that.

It was a local meeting for Doncaster(ish) area Cerberas initially but then 3 interlopers appeared, 2 Tamoras and a Caterham superlight (I think). I went on to the Ripon show but the attractions of the pub kept the others behind for some reason.

Black 458 and a black 991 turbo S (jersey plates) in Harrogate on Sunday. The turbos S is like a freaking missile. Fast, very fast.

Just managed to get a good look at the Ghibli before it left. Long time since I've seen one and it was in very clean condition.
At the other end of the scale, sad to say the worst car at the show was an early DB7 silver/grey on a private plate up for sale. 115,000 miles, big rust bubble nearside front wing, poor interior (although some may say nice patina), asking £15k. I love DB7s but not this one.

There were some wonderful machines in Ripon yesterday; this Aston certainly wasn't one of them....

2 that really caught my eye

Alvis Burns Special - only one in existence

Ac Ace belonging to Russ Swift

[benjj]

Just saw a pearlescent white Alfa 4C coming out of Harrogate on the A59, looked and sounded superb.

Very wide. Very low. Just what we like.

E60 and F10 M5's near Lakeside in Doncaster just after 5pm. Also two F12 M6's. All within minutes of each other.

[ellroy]

Ferrari Daytona near Garforth mid morning.

Not seen one on the road before.

Stunning.

Did anyone see the chav'ed up SLR - I'm guessing it was a Brabus - around the moors today. The reg plate was 7 something SLR. It was parked in Helmsley and it looked an absolute shocker - truly awful looking thing. I was reminded of the Koenig's offerings of the 80s although they were at least of their time.

Hi there,

Was it this one by any chance ?

That was it. A really odd choice of wheels and colour scheme, neither of which enhanced the original design IMO. Each to their own I suppose.

Seeing that it reminds me there was an AMG SLS parked outside kashmiri aroma in Ilkley last night. Grey with a red roof.

[Adamcrs]

Ariel Atom near Crystal Peaks 6:30pm yesterday.

[fenby9]

Black Ferrari F12 being unloaded from a JCT600 Brooklands covered trailer outside my office in Guiseley last night at around 17:15. Sounded nice! Nice combination of black on black wheels with yellow brake calipers, and the Ferrari shields.

Saw a BMW M4 somewhere in Harrogate, viewed from a train. It looked stunning. I did however see an X4 on Bootham yesterday, that didn't look very nice at all.

My short trip to Harrogate had me see an old model Vanquish, a DB7 and a Cygnet. I also saw a Maserati Granturismo and probably things that I've forgotten.

[bobbins]

Proper petrolhead Nirvana Harrogate - always something decent/unnusual knocking about there.

Fiat Coupe 20VT LE with related plate at J42 of the A1 earlier, about 1215ish. Think it was Vinci Grey and had afterburner rear lights. First one I've seen in ages.

Lots of good stuff knocking around on Sunday but the only thing I can remember is a silver Capri on the rbt at junction 34 of the M62 about 2pm.

That car is quite local to me, Doncaster, see it about a bit and am pretty sure I know who the owner is, must say I don't find it that offensive but as you say each to their own and the man who drives it paid for it.

Loads in Bradford today

Black on Black Performante driving around was a bit of a shock
Three Nissan GT-R's
Ferrari 458 Italia parked down a side street across from an RS4 B8
BMW M6 E63 Coupe in Silver in a fairly big NCP carpark
White CLS63AMG (new shape)
Audi S8 D4, Silver Porsche 991 Turbo S, Bentley Mulsanne and a few others

Meanwhile near Leeds, one of _Leg_'s mates in a Supercharged Audi S4 absolutely gunning past on the A61/A639 onto the motorway, sounded incredibely loud from the bus as it flew by.

His name is Graham, is an earl, of sorts.

[johnny-b]

Just as I thought

[pcowen]

Audi R8 BLACK every morning on A63 going to Selby, but now see a SILVER one?

[GTRJacko]

Black Audi RS6 C7 Avant on the A1237 near Clifton Moor.
