I saw about 3 million MX5s heading into Hutton le Hole last weekend. I've never seen so many cars out on a drive before!
It was an mx5nutz run out, I was meant to be there but I've snapped my rear springs

Accidental stance?

I've seen 2x Tesla's today at the Village Hotel opposite my work today... See a white one every so often, but seen a black one and a grey one today! Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me and they're just Jag XF's.

It's a 2 day test drive event for Tesla. I've got a drive booked in tomorrow morning.

South Leeds Village?

I think it's the only "super charger" site in the area so they are attracted to it. I've seen the white one a couple of times (or several white ones).

Yup the "Urban Village",

Just a shame I can't afford a Tesla! That would be ideal having a charge point opposite my work.

Wow what a car, if I was in teh market for a saloon sports car the P85D with Ludicrous mode option would be my 1st choice. It handles amazingly well, like a Lotus almost in the corners. Brutal acceleration.

Not as exotic a some spottings on here, but I keep seeing a lovely blue VX220 around the Malton area. Always brightens my day amongst a sea of drossy hatchbacks and farmers' beaten-up old 4x4s biggrin

New Audi RS6 on the M62 about 7.30pm heading toward Hull, went past me like I was stood still and I wasn't exactly loitering.

Got up early for a blast today, not done that in ages. Glad I did as the weather in the Dales was perfect!



There were loads of others out too, although I spotted most when I was coming back the lazy sods - anyone off here?

Austin Healey, Caterham and what looked (and sounded) like a very nice 60's Ferrari coupe out in the Dales, then loads of nice Brit classics obviously on a tour coming out of Bradford, then weirdly enough an Elise S2 in the distance, then what looked like an Elise S3 Cup in the distance and then a wave from a passing S2 Exige - all within minutes of my house!
