Silver Clio V6 on the Ring Rd near Horsforth Shell this afternoon, same one that a few folks have spotted before (reg ends in YEP)

That must get used a lot!
It was spotted on Cliosport.net today as well!

• YEP, have seen that car driving through Leeds midway through March last year, amazing in the flesh

I've seen it around a few times now, I do love the Clio V6. There is something just amazing about how wide and lairy it looks

Can't believe how many times he's been 'spotted'. It's his 2nd car too. I drove mine daily and never got seen...

I think it lives in Bramhope as seen it here quit a lot

He doesn't. I won't say exactly where he lives obviously, it's round the other side of Leeds past pudsey

Ah, I recall seeing a silver V6 parked up in someone's driveway in the Bramhope area a while back.

Spotted the same F10 M5 from a few weeks ago (black, reg starts fittingly with F10) this afternoon on Otley Rd. The driver felt the need to be a few cm off my rear bumper all the way from where the Village hotel is down to the junction with Shaw Road and St Annes Lane, and then all the way down Grove Lane to the Meanwood Road junction. Nice car but very very tttish driving.

Saw the F10 plate F10 M5 yesterday in Addingham.

Looked like it was being driven by a drunk. Really terrible driving, very slow then very fast, no indicating, braking on apexes of corners. Horrible.

Funnily enough last time I saw him he was nipping into Majestic in Meanwood

[and had parked in the disabled bay right outside the store]

Thank you, I always wave thank you too. I sent you a message about your other question

I thought I saw him getting into a Fiesta the other day as I was parking up. I was shocked!


A couple of nice spots from Bradford today. First one being a lovely looking black Vanquish Volante on trade plates near the Aagrah Midpoint. Second one was a matt blue ISF on Leeds Road. Spotted it before, the wrap shouldn't work but somehow it looks right.

VictoriaYorks said:

Was it purple?

I think so, pretty certain I've seen it parked there before.

[giblet]

I tend to park it behind the office now that Full Circle seem to have shut up shop. Didn't like leaving it there due to the drunken clientèle from there on the weekend who seem to enjoy smashing bottles and chucking cans everywhere. That and the time I was blocked in by someone, turned out to be the drummer for the band that were playing. Getting him to stop playing and move the car was a tad embarrassing!

VictoriaYorks said:

I once had to get the drummer from Embrace (remember them?) to move his car as he was blocking me in.

Good band, seen them live a few times. I'd have asked for an autograph for my troubles.


Estoril blue Z3M breadvan parked outside Mother Hubbards in Batley this lunchtime, and a silver SLK55 AMG round the corner.

S600 OMP (Sagaris?) Burbelling through West Vale just now 12:05pm. Sounded delicious!!

Ph'er I believe, remember going on a tunnel run where he was also present. T350c?

Edit - used to be on a Tamora back then (April 2010)

Hello

Yes, the Tam went last year. I loved it for 8 years and it was intended to be a keeper. However, the perfect T350c came up for sale, in the exact spec I would have ordered from the factory.

The 'burble' is definitely still 100% present

Very nice, glad the burble is still present


White R8 spyder getting off the M621 at Elland Road this afternoon and a yellow VX220 in Dewsbury again this afternoon.

A spot from last week that I forgot to post. A rather low silver MX5 with a cage. Anyone on here?

[giblet]

That's another one I forgot about. Red F Type parked outside Flying Pizza on Tuesday evening.

Maroon coloured XKR-S in the Light car park this evening, and a silver R8 which was parked stupidly close to a piller. Can't have been more than 2cm away from a pillar on the passengers side!

You normally witness that kind of driving on Leeds road in Bradford

I've seen some utterly cockish driving on Leeds Road in Bradford over the years.

[giblet]

I didn't quite catch that. Where is it always parked up?

[giblet]

Spotted that Stagea making progress down Kirkstall Road a few times. Nice Jap hearse

[giblet]

Spotted the white C63 AMG Black series again that Roystinho has also seen. It was on Kirkstall road this time, styling is just so aggressive and awesome.

I've seen him loads in Horsforth too

Spotted him earlier today on the Ring Rd near the Lawnswood roundabout, seen him a few times before around the area.

Black 911 with the reg gt03eco on the a1m near Dishforth.

My mrs tried to get a pic of the car and reg, everytime I got near it he cogged it down and buggered off, it sounded amazing! If you're on here I wasn't trying to race you I just wanted a picture haha. Nice car!!

This is the guy I believe

[giblet]

Small world, just saw (and heard) him (GT03) give it some welly down Otley Road whilst having my lunch in Ecco Pizzeria. Great food as always!

Do you live in the Headingley area? Only been to Ecco once but the pizza was good.

I live in the no mans land between Headingley and West Park. I first went to Ecco a week or so after they opened but have been going regularly ever since. I became a bit of a pizza snob after a short holiday in Florence and used to get a train down to London a couple of years back for authentic pizza.

Black Bentley Arnage on Kirkstall Rd this afternoon and then a silver Clio V6 with the reg ending with CR on the Ring Rd near Lawnswood Roundabout

Spotted Mike Brewer and Edd China, driving through York city centre in a 3200GT, behind a camera car (Disco 4). Probably filming an ep of Wheeler Dealers. I was in a lot of shock when i reviewed the pictures i took :O

Look at the state of that paintwork. Shocking!

Red Ferrari California on Kirkstall Road this evening, plate began with F1. Also spotted a black V6 F Type and a grey E46 M3 in the traffic on the same stretch of Kirkstall Road
