The 2014 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[Jimmy No Hands]

Saw what looked like a matte-ish grey black GTR in Apperley Bridge today, he absolutely thrawped it from the lights and it sounded fantastic, definitely not a standard exhaust. Made me smile!

I know what an MGA is, but never seen a hard top, or one stripped for racing like this. I'll post up a crap phone pic

Lovely thing. Every one I've rallied or raced against has the hard top on. I much prefer the coupe look.

MGAs are the only MG sports car I prefer in the coupe, wonderful looking things.

A few this afternoon.

Firstly a blue E-Type driving through Sherburn village and turning onto the A64. Then again on the A64, an orange TVR Chimera heading east just prior to Jinnahs restraunt and the first bit of DC after York. Finally a blue Ferrari California being driven down the A166 towards Stamford Bridge.

Did a final dry run of the route I'm doing tomorrow for the paying bride.... and had a very lovely, light blue (I think) TVR Chimaera, rumble past me near Huddersfield, up the hill from the coal mining museum and right at the roundabout??

That sound

Interesting mix today. BMW X6 wrapped in a Laguna Seca type blue on Kirkstall Rd this morning. Blue F10 M5 on Wellington St A short while after, plate ended in ASH.

White Phantom Drophead near the Asda Pudsey roundabout, and a silver 996 GT3 nearby too. Then a red Cobra rep on the Ring Rd in Horsforth.

[roystinho]

A Rolls Royce Wraith in Bradford crossing Thornton Rd this morning, and a SL Black series near the tesco down canal rd not long after. Menacing looking car

[CRA1G]

A Red Ferrari 430 Spider with hood down Reg " 430 JET " on the A58 Leeds road.

[GTRJacko]

Jaguar XJ L Supersport near York Railway Station, Maser 4200GT and Grey 300C Estate SRT-8 at Marygate car park, and a chap dressed as Batman on an R6 on Bootham.

Chevronb37 in his Exige being very restrained with an Aston V12 alongside him this morning - too many experiences driving your dad's car to make you think you wouldn't stand a chance?

Was that the grey DBS? He was driving like a bit of a chump. The old VHPD was still warming up so I was keeping strictly to my 3k rpm limit - can't afford a detonation at the moment!

Oh, he'd have nailed me if I'd attempted a race

Silver 996 GT3 with GT03 reg plate in Batley this afternoon.

Probably the same one I saw in Pudsey at lunchtime. Was travelling at a rate of knots too. The 996 has aged rather well.

[richatnort]

Spoofed a 63 plate grey rs4 and a carerra s with reg 911 cs on Wellington Street about 20 mins ago!

[julianm]

2 Ferraris A168 Boroughbridge.
Morgan Aero Boroughbridge, but pearl orange with the hood up.

[v15ben]

Black Monaro VXR in Chapel Allerton.
Black 14 reg Maserati Ghibli in Leeds.

[CRA1G]

Followed a Red Panther Lima "A" Reg down Wetherby road this morning,just looked so small....!

[Jordan Clarkson]

What looked to be an Aerial Atom with a huge rear spoiler driving through Castleford heading towards Wakey via the bypass. Glyn430?

[carlove]

Classic police car in John Lewis car park in York, also an old Austin 7 I think on the A1237 near Monks Cross, and a 14 reg Nissan GTR around the same place.

[R26Chris]

Dark grey/black Aventador on the A59 near Knaresborough. First I've seen in the flesh. It was MASSIVE!

[Paul O]

Light blue 360 coupe on westbound m62 this afternoon, and a red 430 spider a little earlier on the same stretch too.

Oh also a white bentley conti cab with red roof.

All very nice!

[roystinho]

A lovely silver 996 GT3 parked outside my house when I got home this afternoon. A friend came round and thought I'd gone and done something stupid/amazing and got one (I'd love one). Had a GT03 *** plate on.

If you're on here knock on next time and take me out for a spin
