Sorry Craig.

That is awesome Greg. This or a new hot hatch? Tough decision

A new hot hatch or a V8 M3? No comparison. Get a V8, do it!

Ring piece in a blue RS7 with the reg BAD 30Y driving around like a utter moron in Hyde Park this afternoon.

[giblet]

Gallardo, 458, Panamera and a few other bits and bobs in Harehills on Friday night. Parked up at the Tesco but obviously not out together

[giblet]

Grigo (possibly Nimbus?) Huracan on Kirkstall Road this morning.

65 plate Defender 110 Heritage near West Park this afternoon. Looked rather nice, I'm betting the 90 looks even better.

Black MK6 Golf R with black wheels that I see around Morley quite a bit creating road rage outside Morley Victoria primary school this morning because someone he tried to crash into on a roundabout dared to give him a honk on their horn.

What looked like a windows down profanity-fest while blocking the road and educating young ears with words they might not know yet.

shock horror...Golf R driven by a pillock

MK6 for once though!

Insurance job was my first thought.

The ITV building seems to have a hot AMG outside every few days. So far I've seen a few C63s, an A45, AMG GT, an E63 (which was loaded onto a lorry) and today a G Wagen.


Also saw the aftermath of an odd crash from our office windows a few days ago -





There have been a few at that spot recently, need to move one of our security cameras to face outside at some point.

We caught it on our cameras, that's the third accident there in a couple of months. Speed cameras sure to follow

What caused it?

really doubtful one....

M1 Northbound j38-39 this morning a Mk1 rover 414si looked in decent nick!

cant be many of those left

The wedge? Not a common sight. Saw a rather clean Rover 200 coupe (possibly turbo) this morning on Kirkstall Road.

Another orange Evora (not the RC lotus one) passed me twice in Meanwood yesterday.

Also a new rolls Royce coupe and a silver Ferrari 612 parked outside a run down shop on meanwood road yesterday pm. Opposite little london part...

Was it definitely a coupe and not a Phantom? The owners of the furniture shop on Meanwood Road own a Phantom and a 612 amongst other motors.

There is a house in Bramhope that always has some lovely cars in the driveway - sometimes loads of them! Regularly a Rolls and a F430 I think. A PHer perhaps?

It's the family who own the cars that Shnozz saw. The fleet contains a Phantom, F430, Ferrari 612, BMW 650 convertible and a Carrera S amongst others. Don't think any of the lads are on PH though. The dad usually turns up to the gym in his Phantom, I'm betting its a cracking car to pootle home in after a workout.

White 458 Spider with black roof in the traffic on Kirkstall Road a short while ago

[giblet]

Spotted the same AMV8V parked up at the Starbucks near White Rose. Shnozz's car in the flat car park (not really a spot I know, my manager parks a few spots down from you).

Cockwomble in a Mazda 3 in town tonight.

65 plate Evora S in British Racing Green heading past Bradford Royal Infirmary this afternoon.

My mates dad has owned his 850 from new, I believe he still uses it as a daily driver.

Who has a purple Mitsubishi on here? Is it a GR4 or something and were you on Queenswood drive either this morning or yesterday afternoon?

That would be me with the VR4 which is looking particularly sheddy at the moment on winter wheels and a few missing centre caps. I commute down Queenswood Drive on a daily basis. What were you in?

[giblet]

A lovely 4C on Kirkstall Road this morning in what looked like Rosso Competizione. Black E63 AMG parked up at ITV at the moment.

[giblet]

A blue Rolls Royce Corniche near the Lawnswood roundabout this afternoon. Sadly the driver didn't have the roof down unlike the majority of convertibles out and about today. Sunshine in the middle of December, madness!

First new Civic Type R today in Armley, where the carpet shop is. Didn't look as ott as I expected

Had a long look at the PH fleet one at yesterdays Sunday service. It looks a lot less over the top in the flesh, it was parked up next to a Golf R and made it seem rather bland and boring.
