Talking of Stanley, I noticed that the F-Type V6S that parts near Gledhills has been swapped for a white Range Rover Sport Autobiography V8.

Never see much around Halifax...but like buses.....2 F types in Huddersfield this aft, a red one on ring road and then I was sat behind a silver one on Leeds Road. Even better passed a i8 on way to hudds in Copley, looked fab. Finally had a nosey around a greyish coloured RS3 15' plate in Halifax Sainsburys last night. Got to say it looked great, really purposeful. Had quilted type seats that nearly touched the roof liner ....looked comfy lol. Maybe it looked so good due to the dullness of 'normal' A3s? (I can say that as I have a Sportback TDI Quattro as my company car smile )

Sat having my lunch in Helmsley and spotted a lovely orange lamborghini aventador with black accents come through.
It was an SV. It was parked outside the Feversham Arms when I was walking the dog yesterday.

White BMW i8 in market square today.

Something really odd on Rudgate near Tockwith airfield - appeared to be some sort of coupe covered with slabs of black polystyrene or similar - any ideas??

Mercedes have been testing a couple of C-Class coupes on the M1and they were so camouflaged you could hardly tell what it was, one of them sounded like a C63...could it have been one of them?

It was coming towards me but seemed pretty sleek under all the panels - only got a few seconds look. There might well be testing facilities at the old airfield. Not seen a disguised car for years - I remember CAR magazine used to love outing them back in the 80`s!

Number matches the one in that link.

I've heard them at full chat at Silverstone a few times. Awesome sound!

Daily might be pushing it ha!!! But a weekend and track day toy (okay maybe sunny commute in) then there's not much else out there that I fancy/can afford

In all honesty it will probably be next year when I take the plunge. I still want to keep the Trophy as can get the kids in if needed so need a bit more saving up instead of selling it to fund the Lotus

Ahh the sensible choice. I'd love another Trophy to run alongside this.

There's a complete knob in a black 12 plate 3 Series, looks quite basic and is missing the BMW badge on the front.

Seen several times driving at a ridiculous speed on Water Lane and Burdyke Avenue, seen it also jumping the red lights at the Clifton Moor/water Lane traffic lights. But today I was driving on Rawcliffe Drive where cars are parked on both sides, he appears at silly speed and barges through, I realize he's not stopping and have to swerve to avoid him, he then gave me the middle finger, I did say "fking prick" but don't think he would have heard.

Sometimes a woman drives it who just drives normally, but sometimes it's driven by a man who drives as above.

Anyway if you see it avoid it, never seen it outside Clifton.
