The 2014 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[Little Mac]

Carlove.....The Blue Sagaris would have been me on the way to the YBB in Malton early on Sunday morning....closely followed by my son in his 350Z. Just a shame about the fog, I think it put quite a few people off - and there wasn't such an exciting mix of exotica compared to previous meets. Thanks for the spot ....Martin

I was in Yorkshire yesterday for the Malton Big Breakfast so seen plenty of nice cars there, but on the way home on the A64 I spotted a white Mclaren 650s, thought it was a P1 at first, not sure if it was headed to Malton, looked amazing.

I saw this too. Figured it would have been a little late for Malton

2 from around lunchtime today. A white R8 on the Armley Gyratory around 1pm, and a red 911 just off the Gyratory near TGIs just after. Both looked lovely!

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.

Is it a PHer that has just parked a minty mint silver 635csi next to my cars in the secret Skipton parking garage?!

Superb looking car.

I want to know more about the secret parking garage - as a resident for many, many years it hurts when I return as a tourist and have to park in conventional places

It also looks like I'll need to be more observant when I'm visiting my old man in Embsay from now on.

Don't quite know my Porsches but the mint is a 993, the red one is far nicer but not quite sure what that one is

Yesterday in Leeds, Blue Continental GT V8 S on Swinegate, as well as a Stunning Matte Red C 63 Coupe with huge Vossen wheels. Spoke to the owner of that, who said it was remapped, and producing 650hp. Black 458 Spider outside the railway station, some kind of tuned Black Gallardo Spyder, possibly a Hamann (Reg M3SUO) and a Black M4 Coupe at the Marriott Hotel at around 7:30pm.

650bhp haha hes living in a dream world, Ive got one my self and with a map they produce 525bhp max, 550bhp with exhaust, next step is supercharger which starts at around 620bhp which he aint got one of those as only two guys in UK has it one from Newcastle and the other from Birmingham

Not having a go so please don't take it a such but out of interest how do you know there are only 2 C63 AMG supercharged in the UK?

It may be that only 2 people have posted about it on the Internet?

Saw those from the opposite side of the road while driving the other week. Will have to stop by and have a closer look. How long are they in there? I presume they're not for sale?

Spotted the red one today when I drove past again. Also spotted a red 458 with a black roof on the M621 heading into Leeds in the rain this morning.

[snotrag]

The Mint Green 993 is very cool, saw that the other day.

Finally got a decent view of the GT2 today, it's pretty damn gorgeous

I was on a Geography field trip yesterday (I work at Leeds Trinity University in Horsforth) & saw one of these in Hansons quarry just off the A59 near Pateley Bridge - the photo was taken from The Coldstones Cut viewing platform which gives a great view of the quarry, & the surrounding countryside, should anyone be interested.

It's a Komatsu HD605 &, according to the driver, it has a 23 litre straight 6 turbocharged engine with a 7 speed auto g/box, reckoned to produce 740(ish)hp. Economy is not its forte but it can carry 60 tons.



Not trying to take the pee with this post - just thought it may be of interest to some

Black E60 550i on the M18 heading into Doncaster North Services this morning. A rare beast I'm led to believe.
