Was that you this morning on Sainsburys roundabout about 8.20 heading towards Thorne Road?

Probably, that's about the right time. Haven't seen you around for a while.

Hooli said:

Saw you again a day or two later going t'other way.

Those roadworks where they are pointless adding a roundabout are lovely aren't they?

Wonderful, will be glad when the chicane roundabout is finished. At least now the schools have broken up Thorne Road is an option.

As i looked across the road, I saw 2 minis. One on the drive and one in the garage.


This is my car that you may have seen.

Yes, I'm actually next door but the white Mini is mine. The car looks lovely, doesn't sound so bad either.

There were a couple of older models at Don Valley cruise a couple of weeks ago.

I've got a green&yellow Elise now, my private plate isn't on either.

I did a speed awareness course a few months ago, Can't even remember where I did it never mind anything from the course, still it's better than points I suppose

I had the same opinion of my first one, then with 3 points in between decided to pay attention on the second. If listened to correctly they are a good way of learning where the camera vans are likely to be placed.

Lovely old orange Citroen GSA under Leeds Dark Arches this morning.

Its Hedben Bridge vintage weekend, so there has been a few nice cars coming past my house including a stunning white E type & race livered Austin Healy 3000

Came through Hebden Bridge on Saturday and it was absolutely pissing down Hopefully they got a better day for it on the Sunday

If you're in West Yorkshire, you can find out where the mobile vans park up:

http://www.safetycameraswestyorkshire.co.uk/locati...

Choose the area you want, then look at the locations. If you want to know where they will be, just click on Future Patrols (hopefully it is up to date...)

Same with South Yorkshire etc:

Nice links! This was more "how to look at street junk and see where the van will likely be in unfamiliar roads" though.

In that case, I've seen you a couple of times.

Also see a yellow one quite often around Trafford Way.

Today in Bawtry:

TVR Cerbera '51' registration in blue. Just awesome.

A spot at last!

Not been out in her for over a month so decided to clear the cobwebs down the A1
and back through Retford on the way home.

[Shnozz]

Oyster white Alfa 4C on the loop road by the Queens hotel about an hour ago. Looked fantastic in the sun.

[jock mcsporran]

Tesla S on the ring road near weetwood.

Pleased you took it out, I live in Retford but went for a gander around Bawtry for a few hours. I got a nice look at the Cerbera; stunning in my opinion - I was trying to convince my other half too, for a potential future purchase..

[bobbins]

Stunning A-reg almond green Cooper with a white roof coming off the Armley Giratory and heading towards the Inner Ring Road about five to 10 on Monday morning.

[Shnozz]

Forgot about the hot chick in a presumably wrapped matte blue R8 Spyder on the M1 heading Northbound around Sheffield on Saturday evening about 8pm.

[giblet]

Pair of R8s and a E92 M3 parked outside Flying Pizza last night. Maserati Gran Cabrio in Roundhay and then a B8 RS4 on the Ring Rd near Lawnswood.

[N7GTX]

Last night a DB9 parked outside Barracuda chip shop in Ossett then this morning anther DB9 driving near the same chippy. Different cars but possibly the same colour.

[Feirny]

There's currently a lovely red C63 AMG Coupe parked behind me at Vue/FiveGuys on Kirkstall Road.

[roystinho]

Raced Ubbs in his A45 from Cramag to Menston roundabout. If I wasn't chatting I'd have had him (I was on the bike)

Car looked great and sounded even better. Think you noticed I was looking, but probably didn't realise I was a PHer

[Otter Smacker]

Red Ferrari 458 heading down Hull Road towards York city centre 18:45 this evening.
