A good attempt at a Corsa VXR rep at the Kirkstall Morrisons petrol station tonight but the piddly sxi brakes were an easy giveaway. Don't know why someone would go to all that effort though.

Aren't they just those stty limited edition ones?

The Looks of a VXR but a poxy engine?

I've seen those but this one had the correct VXR bumpers and spoiler, even had the central exhaust.

Very odd

I've never understood the desire to make a slow car look like its faster sibling, it must only ever cause embarrassment when everything else on the road flies past you

Grey S2000 Gt on the M621 into Leeds this morning

[giblet]

Orange SL of some form, possibly an attempt at the black series in Horsforth last night. A group of lads in a Mondeo ST220, swift A class of some form (possibly 45 AMG) and a white A3 behaving like gimps on Kirkstall Road also last night, I may have goaded the A3 driver into a traffic light GP twice as a result, not smart on my part I'll admit.

Oh and a matte baby blue 500 Abarth also on Kirkstall Road, might be the one with a fruity exhaust, stock colour is pearl white iirc.

I hope it wasn't as I was in work then and the only key for it is in my jacket. Not been home yet!

Can't have been. It's been parked up on his driveway all day- I know as I live next door!
There can't be another absolute dog of an mx-5 running round?!

A very very shiny blue Fiesta ST in Asda Morley car park this evening.

Malton's Rimspeed Turbo out and about on Thursday, lovely to see such a thing moving.

Saw a yellow(could have been orange) Ultima on the A1237 near Haxby at about 1 today, my passenger said "look a McLaren F1".

[Potatoes]

Black Ferrari in Birstal, I think the plate ended in Joe. Very clean looking car!

[Potatoes]

Sorry, did not mean to include the angry face in the last post!

[v8yes]

Right, looking at all sheddy MX5s thinking 'is that Giblet?'. So, was it you at Sainsburys petrol station Rawdon at around 4.00?

Sadly not, I was in my kitchen wet vaccing the seats for said shed at that time. It's not been driven for nearly two weeks. Surely there can't be any other MK1's out there that are as bad as mine?

With no point of reference of the sheddyness (or is that sheddiness?) no one truly knows so we're stabbing in the dark a little
