A huge train of performance Fords (Focus RS and ST's, plus some of the newer Fiesta ST's) around the Hole of Horcum as I was heading back from Whitby in my Type R around 11am yesterday.

Also a few classic MG's in dribs and drabs, a small group of Westfields and a large group of pink cars all headed east.

Saw a Metro 6R4 on a trailer outside a house in Leeds the other day, don't know if the car is kept there so don't really want to say exactly where

Was it you I spotted in the red MX5 coming up Micklefield Road the other day? White Smiley on the LH side of your boot?

I saw him last week, the towing car has changed recently but I've been spotting him every so often in the same area over the past few years. The 6R4 is a cracking looking car

Just up the hill from Spar? (There are enough spars in Leeds that I don't think that is giving anything away)

Ahh I'll try be more observant next time, was my exhaust loud? Just trying to work out if it was before or after having my new exhaust fitted

I think the guy with the 6R4 is probably the one that takes it to Burley in Wharfedale show. He's a really nice bloke, and the car is (obviously) awesome.

Back in spotted, a really nice TVR Chim in the station car park today, then saw it drive out at around 3.00. Think the guy works there

Absolute fanny in a red, v reg, Nissan micra. Risky overtakes on the ring road, weaving through traffic, taking the left turn only lane at Weetwood roundabout then cutting up a car to go straight across (intentional rather than a mistaken lane).

But he probably wasn't speeding so he'll probably never get pulled.

Nope, up the road from a Co-op

Silver V10 RS6 saloon making progress down Kirkstall Rd this afternoon, lovely noise as it went past.

Those kebabs need to arrive before they go cold.

Well I've just been out and you're right, that shop is a co-op, I've been calling it spar for years!
