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.

Other than car shows, saw the car in the paint shop that JCT have on Sticker Lane, Bradford, where it was being kept over winter.

Never seen one before, looked lovely.


Saw and heard the same black Charger punch it at the lights on Kirkstall Road this afternoon. Seems to be around the area frequently.

'Twas me! Went to the gym for a couple of hours needed a "peroni power shake" wow I've been spotted I'm not a virgin anymore

Did you replace the RS3 with the A45 AMG?

[giblet]

ubbs said:

Yes pal, needed two front tyres and some wiper blades plus I fancied a change after 2.5 years, second longest car I've ever owned, have you still got the Mitsubishi?

How does the A45 compare? I've seen one being driven at daft speeds on Kirkstall Rd before, both the sound and the pace were impressive.

Yup still got the Mitsubishi, keep toying with changing it but it costs me 16p per mile on LPG so I'll be sticking with it for now.

Both cars seem to attract a certain element both have good points and bad points, handling much better in the 45, no comedy under steer that you got in the rs, it's better on fuel and the tax is £100 less, I prefer the Audi gearbox over the dct in the merc
When's the next rolling road day?

I guess the rear wing on the A45 plays a part in the attention! Will try to sort out another rolling road day in a month or two, last one went down well.


Spotted a clean white mini 1275gt parked outside B&C car parts on Kirkstall Road on Thursday. Dannyscene's MX5 on Burley Rd yesterday, blue M6 in Headingley this morning and a red Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale a short while later on Otley Rd in Headingley.

Followed a yellow 512BB in Adel a short while ago, sounded awesome. First one I've seen on the road, cracking view from
the rear. I think it belongs to the chap whose F40 and 288 GTO that I've seen in the area before. Lovely collection.

Also saw that Maserati MC Stradale somewhere, but can't remember exactly where

I've been behind it on the way down Otley Road from the Horsforth roundabout down to central Headingley before. The sound was daft even at low revs and idle. No need for a stereo in that thing.

Won't be parking there much longer as they're moving house to Bramley

Have you seen the guy with the rolls royce and ferrari f430 on his drive in Adel?

Bramley or Brambope? I drive through Bramhope now and then so hopefully I'll still spot his exotica.

Iirc the dad owns the Phantom, one son owns a F430 spider. and another has a 612 Scagletti. They go to the same gym as me.

Black i8 near Beckwithshaw this afternoon and a red Holden HSV with a reg ending in HSV out near Fewston a short while later.

[giblet]

That looks a lot more discreet without the lairy rear wing.

I think I need to get a more visible PH smiley. Still not spotted even though I live around where the latest load of spots have been!

I spotted a silver E55 AMG on Kirkstall Road this evening but didn't see a smiley anywhere. Was it you? Short private reg plate.

Ha!!! No worries, where did you turn off, was hoping to jump past the car in front to have a better nosey but you'd vanished

Also saw a Black Mondeo ST estate in Rawdon today, I'm sure someone on here has one but can't remember who...

Rosso 458 Italia joining the M62 at Brighouse this afternoon, was behind me at the roundabout before he nailed it up the slip road past me. Reg began with YH11, I'm sure I've seen it about before, possibly at Malton?

I've just spotted a Honda FRV with a PH smiley turning off the ring road by Moor allerton Sainsbury's, towards David Lloyd.

That'll be Mr Tapeworm

Spotted a white 15 plate Wraith on Kirkstall road yesterday morning, looked like the owner had ticked the indicator delete option.

I can dream of something as sporty as an FRV, over here it's all about the automatic CRV for PH thrills

I stand corrected!


Spotted a new Impreza WRX STI in black with a black DV2 Integra behind it on Kirkstall Road yesterday.

Blue AC Cobra rep (possibly a continuation?) on the Ring Road in Horsforth this evening. Reg plate was 60BRA

Polaris white F Type V6S coupe near the Armley gyratory yesterday evening and a British racing green V6S coupe on St Pauls Street this lunchtime

The white one is probably the one that lives in the same car park to my apartment just up the road.

City Island by any chance?

[giblet]

I was parked down there last night as I was round at my workmates. I remember seeing all manner of exotica a few years back when my mate lived there including a nice Quattroporte.

[giblet]

Well that explains where he went! I think I saw your Evora in there last night.

Verde ithaca aventador roadster on Leeds Road in Bradford this evening.

I thought the date was October 21st 2015?
