I keep spotting folk but no one seems to notice my car. Not sure if that's good or bad!

Every time I think I've seen you it ends up not being you

You need a less common car wink

I've only spotted a handful of 8G Galants on the road over the several years that I have owned them. None of them have been the same colour as mine or same engine!

Definitely not me!

Red 04 plate Fabia VRS with a smiley on the front bumper on Kirkstall Rd a short while ago. Possibly the same chap that was chanting Tony Tony Yeboah a while back when the Sky Sports billboard was up?

Traffic has been ste on Kirkstall Rd for the past week or two. Tonight the rugby folk added to it but it's definitely gone up from pre summer holiday break levels.

I've been visiting the LGI on evenings recently, and I have to say the traffic has been horrendous. 6pm I can understand, but on Weds and Thurs evening it was nose to tail at 7pm, and then coming out at just past 8pm it wasn't much better. Heading out west to the gyratory and M621 was a huge mistake too. Cutting across east past the old BBC and then towards the A64 (aiming for the M1) was better but still busy. Tonight was a bit odd though, going into Leeds, traffic was nose to tail up to the dark arches, then as soon as we got to city square, it all seemed to disappear. Maybe the traffic was caused by the westbound backlog.

No really interesting cars alas, just the usual fare of Range Rovers and standard German metal.
