I guess it had to happen eventually! I was sat at the lights just before the really tight road with the speed bumps that joins burley road.

Tell me about it, I'm sick of finding out parts for my celica are so cheap in japan but take so damn long to arrive!

Surprised I haven't seen you closer to home given how close I think we live
St Anns Lane is always fun, especially when people coming the other way hog the majority of the road. I spotted you parked up on the usual spot in Burley Road on Friday evening.

That's not true, I see you all the time smile
I'd forgotten about that, first time I've been spotted in the while and not parked in the wrong spot at work then wink

The F1 plated Veyron is in Kahn's place in Leeds at the minute if anyone wants a gander.
Drove past the showroom quite a few times this weekend and the Veyron seems to be getting a good amount of people in drooling at it. Can't say I'm a fan of it or his other stock on display in there.

Yes that's me - did the change from the 996 GT3 just after Christmas but been getting some stuff sorted and the weathers not been great so it's been tucked up in bed until now

Nice GP by the way - I usually look at that on my the way past yours every time
The GP has gone now for a Clio trophy.

Loved the 996. It's on my wish list for the future. Think a 997 will never fall into my price bracket...
I'll have to keep an eye out for you both. Never spotted your GP but we always ended up posting the same spots last year, what colour is the Clio?

Black phantom in Headingley on Friday afternoon. Black California in Headingley on Saturday evening, also caught the back end of a 458 making a lot of noise in Leeds city centre near Trinity on Saturday night. Black Huracan parked up in Leeds city centre on Sunday afternoon. Red Cobra rep in Mirfield on Sunday afternoon and then a blue XKR making swift progress on Kirkstall road again on Sunday afternoon. The nice weather seems to be bringing out some nice metal and some cockish drivers in regular cars.

Also giblet's purple peril in the works car park - very purple day.
I'm going for a dirty purple look, not washed the rustbucket in months.


Blue CL600 on Kirkstall Rd this evening with a small smiley on the back. If that really is a 600 and not a misbadged lower engined model then I doff my cap to your fine choice of engine good sir!

14 plate M6 Gran Coupe in Sakhir Orange filling up at the Asda station next to Asda House a short while ago. Possibly a PH'er?

Matte black Ghibli and a lovely sounding white 991 GT3 both in Leeds city centre this evening. The GT3 is pretty tasty!

A chap who lives near me has recently replaced his ISF for a new RC-F. Nice looking cars, something different.

There's also currently a Maserati MC12 sat in the Ferrari dealership window along the ring road too, in the standard white/blue combo, looked awesome.
I'm gonna have to drive down this evening to have a look. I've been wanting to see one in person for a long time! Cheers

Not had a chance to go see the MC12 yet. I'm hoping it will be around for a few days.

Black 2015 Dodge Charger on St Annes Lane in Leeds a short while ago with Hemi badges on the side. Sounded awesome even at low speeds.

It was still there last night, parked front and centre alongside a 458 speciale
Saw it this morning on my way to worksmile
Ditto. Gets better each morning


Absolutely stunning. Glad I finally got to see one in person, impressive in a way that the Enzo and LaFerrari will never be. Didn't hang around long as the security guard was stirring. I guess a scruffy asian bloke in a clapped out Mitsubishi is bound to ring alarm bells.

Damn it! i was going to do this today as i've got half a day off work and was planning on making the car park look rubbish in my civic.
I went in the evening as I wasn't sure how the sales staff would respond to one of the great unwashed rocking up and asking to stare at the car. Saying that I've done the same at HR Owen in London before and the sales folk were happy for me to have a walk around the showroom.

RSteve said:
Damn, stunning car, wish I got a few pics when I originally spotted it last weekend, if it's still there this weekend I'll be paying it a visit.
It's quite possibly the nicest car I've ever seen. Could stand and stare at it for hours.

Ghastly blue A4 tdi in turqouise with two large rear exhausts and blacked out rear lights in Leeds city centre in the afternoon and a regular mini masquerading as a cooper s doing laps behind the train station as well (piddly brakes were the instant giveaway).

Arancio Borealis Huracan spanking it off the lights at Pool Bank junction a short while ago. Cracking sound!

White E90/92 335 of some description and a V8 F Type having a play off the light on the ring road in West Park a short while ago. The F Type hit the throttle at neutral whilst waiting for the lights to go green. Sounded awesome and shifted like st off a shovel.

SRT10 Dodge charger (I think it was) in Leeds this morning. Also saw the Black F12 yesterday

Then a 12C/650S V4*** in Rawdon, just saw the rear so not 100%. Think it's a 12C though
Black Dodge? If so it's probably the SRT8. Seen it around a few times now, looks mean and sounds awesome. Would love to hear the Hellcat in comparison.

Only ever seen one E63 estate on the roads before and a handful of saloons. A lot rarer and more discreet than the C63.

Caught a glimpse of a black 458 possibly a specialie at the Pudsey roundabout yesterday.

Green Aston Martin DB2/4 (I think) near Pool Bank this afternoon. Followed a 63 plate C63 saloon from Pool Bank up through the stupidly narrow Creskeld Lane and past Golden Acre later in the afternoon. I need to own a C63 at some point just for that exhaust note.

Probably Jack Tordoff's (JCT 600) at a guess?
Looks like it, a google search for the reg brings back a pic of it at a show with a JCT 600 sticker on the rear window.
