AMG E63 Estate coming out of Pinderfields onto Aberford Road yesterday. I Googled it - HOW much power?!!

And at the other end of the scale, a red, rather smart looking F-reg Escort XR3i in Dewsbury hospital car park.

This morning on pool bank I saw a white GTR followed by a blue RX8 (these are really starting to catch my eye) a dark blue BMW 8 Series and a silver MX5 MK1 with the roof down

I was in my Red MX5 MK1 with my roof down (of course the roof was down it wasn't raining)

I saw you in your mitzibishi then! I was wondering if it was you but a) I can't remember what you look like! Having only met you once or twice years ago and b) I thought you'd sold the mitzibishi and c) I thought it was an estate you had (no idea why)

Have you got a smiley? I didn't see it.

Yup it was a while ago when I last met you. My saloon is a little battle scarred due to some errors of judgement in the work car park over the past few weeks! Nope no smiley either. Will get one after I've had the various dings and scrapes repaired.

Black 458 Italia on Kirkstall Rd this lunchtime and a black F430 parked outside Lahores on Burley Rd a few mins later.

It's nuts how many people bomb down Kirkstall Road, I don't think many people realise its a 30 limit.

BMW M4 in Austin Yellow in Bingley at about 16:10. This is the first time I've actually seen an M4 on the road. I'm not sure if it was the colour that did it, but it looked far more distinctive and exciting than the average BMW. The only other time I've seen an M4 was at BMW Welt in May last year. This was also an Austin Yellow one. Stunning colour which looks far better in the flesh than in photos.

I've seen some silly speeds from my office on Kirkstall Rd, mainly from the dubbers leaving the garage near Kwik Fit.

It was more the crazy overtake he pulled to get onto kirkstall road from the roundabout coming off the A58. I like to drive quickly but it was a bold move...

Silver SLS was parked by me outside Napa on Street Lane tonight.

I don't drive Kirkstall road very often at all but I thought it only dropped to 30 when the speed cameras started?

Are there any signs indicating this? I must admit before the recent death on there I always thought it was 40mph and subsequent visits haven't revealed any signs but I presume it's one of those roads where the street lights are close enough together to indicate it's 30mph without signs?

Or maybe I missed the signs, in which case that's even worse I guess smile

I don't think there are any signs and if there are I've never noticed them

30 signs at the lights near TGI's, they don't repeat them down Kirkstall Road until you get to the speed cameras.



Sneaky, especially as you get scamera cars parked up near the fire station

I reckon half the time I drive down that exit road there is a double decker bus in the inside lane covering that sign and I end up breezing past unaware of its existence. I live opposite and drive that road many times a week and yet can honestly say I have never noticed it.
