The yellow F40 is a supercardriver member. Has to be him as there is only 1 yellow F40 to my knowledge. (used to belong to Rod Stewart)

Black Ferrari 360 with nice wheels parked up in an area of Wakefield I don't know too well, looked amazing (sure someone else on here spotted it in Wakefield a while ago), reg 29AG. Ford Raptor driving by Trinity Walk, BMW M3 E93 outside a BMW Bodyshop, nice Cobra replica outside a garage somewhere near Thornes Lane. Blue Evo 10 also not far from the 360.

I'm going to hazard a guess at something to do with EVO then, no way I'd randomly see those two cars heading towards Shorpe.

Also saw a white California this morning on Queensway near the College, I know that's local though.

Some kind of amphibious car in traffic approaching the Armley Gyratory this morning at about 8:45, no idea what it was beyond this as I was too far away but it looked like a boat with wheels and was a completely open top thing that looked to be fairly old.

[Viperzs]

A lovely P1 followed by a white 911 at about 6:30 on the A168 heading into Northallerton. Then on the A19 Southbound I followed what I think was a Ferrari 550. Reg ended with UPC

Might be the same one I saw drive through Wakefield a few week ago, couldn't tell if the Spider or Coupe but looked a bit like the Spider.

Mars Red C63 AMG driving from Wakefield town centre, Red 61 reg Evo X with Rota wheels parked near town, and a Blue BMW X5M down a little side street in the town.

was it this one from york? If so, it's a 1960's Amphicar. It was at CITP in May at Newby Hall, and it's in mint condition

That looks like the one! I tried some Googlefoo when I got home to see if I could find anything similar but failed, your post means I can sleep soundly again now
