[georgefreeman]

Apologies for hijacking this thread, but I am on a recruitment drive. For anyone in Yorkshire interested in a piston heads drive, get your name down in this thread.

White I8 at Tesco Clifton Moor, driver was brave enough to park near the entrance, looked fantastic.

Caught me by complete surprise, apparently it's the owner of Help Link, and he had just collected the car.

The Internet is a scary place isn't it. I had a look to see who that might be. In 5 minutes I had (possibly incorrectly):

Neil Christopher Barron
Date of birth: September 1969
Address: No <redacted by me> Altofts, Wakefield

There are 2 other local names on the list of current and former directors, but given where this car was seen then this looks the most likely candidate. Or maybe it was one of the other share holders visiting him. £950K though, you could nearly buy all of Normanton for that! Not that you'd want to. Help-Link's financial stats have shot through the roof in the last 2 years.

I wonder what he thinks about the HS2 link running 100 metres away from his house.

Wow! Pretty impressive what you can find through a quick search on the internet. So it seems the owner of that 918 lives local, will have to look out for it. But really not something you'd expect to see in Wakefield, seeing a Huracan or Aventador driving around is a shock in itself and they're less than a third of the price of a 918.

Red

Thanks for the spot

[Evoluzione]

A lovely silver 911 SC with deep dish wheels and gold lettering to the engine lid parked outside the old White Bear pub in Birstall.

Then a weird one - an old Merc covered entirely (apart from the windows) in grass. You know when you only just catch a glimpse of something and think wtf? 30 seconds later I pass a pub with a guy sat outside having a pint with a Buzzard or Red kite sat at the table.
At that point I was wondering whether someone had spiked my drink or if I was about to be woken up....

Followed a nice BMW M3 to work today (think it was the one after the E46) which was a nice dark orange with black roof and possibly black wheels and a tasty sounding exhaust!

[Never you mind]

Black Rolls Royce Wraith parked up at Pannal golf club on Friday afternoon.

Well a minute on google and using the name displayed on the number plate I would imagine its more likely Mel Butler's car...co-founder of Help link.

I didn't know Tom bought your old motor mate. Beautiful car that.

My Exige went to a chap in Otley so stayed local. Almost don't want to spot it and tug on the heart strings..

This in Huddersfield

[Jimmy No Hands]

A very loud green Martini liveried Porsche (recent model) turning right at the Birstall/Batley lights. Sounded bloody great.

I saw that the other day near the dealership on the ring road, forgot to mention it

[GTRJacko]

Saw a Gold Aston Martin Rapide, Blue Continental GT, Silver GLA 45 AMG and a few XKR's in Headingley today, Red Mustang GT driving passed Leeds Bus Station, Black Evora S with Matte Black stripes on York Rd in Seacroft, and a trailer pulling a Black VXR8 on the A64 near Tadcaster.

[AL...Ease]

Bright orange Aventador in Louth today, looked and sounded fantastic going past our office!

Yeah, and I'm sure it's a lot cleaner now than at any time I had it. Almost didn't want to let it go but needs must.
Haven't seen yours up this way. I'll keep my eyes open.
