Sunday afternoon at junction 38 northbound M1, a blue TT that had just been in an accident - no police, ambulance etc but matrix signs on. Parked just in front of it was a matt black Vantage and the drivers were talking to each other so hopefully no one hurt.

That was me in the vantage. Driving back up from the Sunday service at gaydon and lady in front in a TT aquaplaned and stuffed it into the central res. Me and my passenger pulled over to help her and check she was ok. She ended up sitting in a nice warm aston whilst my mate stood outside in the rain waiting for the police. She was ok but very shaken up as you would expect.





Ladies will do almost anything to ride in an Aston....

Followed a nice Corrado through Guiseley on Sunday morning. I know there are a few owners on here?
Got excited it might have been me, then remembered I didn't even get up until the afternoon!

Red one? I know there's one in Menston. But I don't think he's on any of the forums.

My girlfriend normally spots him and exchanges a wave when she borrows mine to go to work.

Can't remember if I am honest and the weather was dreadful but seem to recall it was a dark colour - certainly not bright red. Might have been navy and might have been on white wheels?

In other spots, a matte blue wrapped brand new 911 Turbo on Bahrain plates giving it beans around Leeds centre.

Saw a Ferrari yesterday (in the dark with only DRLs om)

Plate was 5Y - reg check say a F12 Berlinetta AB S-A, is that anything special over a normal F12? Looked pretty aggresive.

I think it's a regular F12, see it often round Horsforth area

A red RS6 Avant (current shape) in Morley at around 8:30am this morning - up near the top of Churwell Hill. I'd forgotten how subtly aggressive they look in the flesh.

John Holland Cars. That's my Lotus. Bought it along with a red Mk2 Jag a few weeks ago and they're storing them until my 2nd garage block is finished.

Spotted and I haven't even taken delivery yet. A first?
