Made a trip to Aeromotive earlier and spotted HA51MET's Ovlov outside and a lovely looking red Audi Quattro parked round the back

I still haven't made it to Aeromotive, well I have but it was closed - I really must go back.

I'm so used to doing initial queries by email and then visiting.

I've always found that a quick phone call is better with most garages. The ones I have emailed have rarely replied.

Trust me to spell your username wrong!

Looked good, was a ring sticker on the back along with the PH smiley and a Batley Brag sticker?

Nice TVR Sagaris today in Rawdon. Black with an old style pressed black plate, think it was --07 TVR, nice noise!

He's been to the Malton meet before, gorgeous car

Yup, I was convoying with him for all of a few seconds on the Ring Rd near Lawnswood before he disappeared. Looks great and sounds menacing. Cracking car

A few interesting spots once I got into Leeds on the way back from MK this evening. First was a black 13 plate M6 Gran coupe round the back of Costco on the A61. This is the forth one I've seen locally and they just look so much nicer than the M5. Spotted a black R8 at the side of Costco a short while later. Then there was a silver Maserati Granturismo heading down Wellington Street and Kirkstall Road and then a blue R8 spyder on Kirkstall Road both in the rush hour traffic.

Interesting spot yesterday afternoon in Adel. Saw a pair of race prepped MK2 Ford Escorts, both being trailered by a pair of vans. Looked pretty awesome.

Silver S65 AMG on Great Horton Road in Bradford this evening. V12 sounded lovely. Saw a tit in a grey RS4 with aftermarket exhausts tearing it down Burley Road yesterday afternoon, sounded nice but some silly driving in a built up area.

Grey 997 Carrera 4S with the aero kit on the Ring Road near Lawnswood this afternoon. Looked great

Black Fiat X1/9 parked up near my workplace on Kirkstall Road this afternoon, and a 13 plater black F10 M5 on Spen Lane this afternoon.

That's a bit ignorant. I'm a college student.

Kudos for the valuable life lesson. Is there any need to be such an arse? Nice garage btw

[giblet]

Stop being an arse Diverter. If you value your privacy so much then become a sodding hermit. Nothing wrong with taking a picture of a car if its in a public place.

Back on topic. Spotted another white DC5 Integra on Saturday afternoon in West Park. There seem to be a few about in Leeds

I see a few different ones in that area. One driven by a guy with a big exhaust on it, another by a woman in her 40s (maybe a bit older, I don't want/mean to offend)

I've see the big exhaust ones a few times. Also regularly spot an older gent in a silver Accord Type R. Looks to be in rather good condition and completely standard too.

If you spot a imbecile in a mauve Mitsubishi Galant VR4 in the area then it's most likely me. Should have a PH smiley on the back in a few weeks.

I'll keep my eye out. Similarly if you see someone who looks like a teenager in a MINI GP that would be me

I'll keep my eyes peeled. Only ever seen one Mini GP in Leeds.

Red California with the roof down heading past the Armley Gyratory this morning. Shiny new silver Flying Spur with the JCT 1 plate (owner of JCT 600 iirc?) in Batley this afternoon and then the Dodge Challenger that V15ben spotted in the same place. Oh and a burnt orange M135i in Batley too. And then a Rapide in one of the office car parks on Geldard Rd, same spot where the white 1M is normally parked.

One I forgot from today. Red VX220 heading from Kirkstall Road to Cardigan Road this morning

[giblet]

Oi Diverter, stop being a dick.

Keep spotting a mexico blue 928 here and there. L reg, looks rather clean and the colour works really well with the shape.

[giblet]

A bunch of dub scene folks attempting to tear it away down Kirkstall Road a short while ago. They made a lot of noise but didn't seem to be making a great deal of progress

I'm guessing there was some meet up at the VW indie round the corner from my office.

[giblet]

Purple Cerbera looking and sounding glorious today in West Park. Private reg ending in RPE

[giblet]

F10 M5 in Bradford this afternoon that appeared to have been wrapped in some kind of matt bronze vinyl. Looked rather odd

[giblet]

I would have loved to have seen that, sounds hilarious.

13 plate grey Porsche Cayman with the boot left slightly ajar on South Parade in Leeds city centre this afternoon, and a silver V8 Vantage roadster parked round the corner.

[giblet]

I used to see one quite regularly around Leeds a couple of years back now. Clean looking white Supra with some Supra decals on the side and a young chap behind the wheel.
