Black 911 GT3 in Rawdon yesterday. Think it was a 997... 56 plate??? Heard it a mile off, a friend thought I was crazy (non car person)

If it's a56 reg then yeah most likely a 997, they do sound great!

Haha that'll be me - it's got a tubi muffler bypass on it - sounds like a cup car 3,000 rpm onwards is just bonkers

I've seen that around Branton and Armthorpe recently as well.

First time I've seen it, but it doesn't live in Branton unless he's just got it.

[Mr Overheads]

Grey Aventador followed it from Harrogate back to North Leeds, where it pulled into a driveway just after Leeds Gramamr School.

Sounded fab

Quality. In fact you're still parked on my street (or were this afternoon). Visiting?

It would appear that your street is also my street.......although the car lives elsewhere

He's only had it two minutes!

Heard from friends it's broken down quite a few times so don't know why he's selling

Ah, I've spoken to you before. This is a change of car from a silver 996 then

For a minute I thought it was someone else you knew maybe parking for the airport...

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

With a little understanding
You can find the perfect blend
Neighbours...should be there for one another
That's when good neighbours become good friends
Ooh Neighbours, should be there for one another
That's when good neighbours become good friends."

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 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.

VictoriaYorks said:

That's not true, I see you all the time

I'd forgotten about that, first time I've been spotted in the while and not parked in the wrong spot at work then

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.

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?

[giblet]

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.

[Shnozz]

There was a red 458 heading towards Bramhope Saturday midday ish.

[DannyScene]

Seen a red F430 on a drive in Bramhope a few times, seem to remember it was there last year as well so possibly been hiding it away over winter?

The 996s have gone crazy price wise recently - it's taking a great car out of lots of people's reach which is a massive shame - they were so underrated but truth is that it's a brilliant car - not much in it between the 996 and the 997 - the later model is just more stable and composed

If you ever fancy a ride just knock on the door when it's outside

You'll regret that last statement

Giblet, Clio is red but they only came in that colour

Spotted a Silver Morgan 3 wheeler leaver B&Q/BurgerKing earlier today! Approx 1pm, looks bonkers among the bigger cars nowadays, but fair play to the bloke!

[N7GTX]

Sunday afternoon A1 near A64 going north a Bentley Conti convertible chasing a VW Transporter van going around 100 mph. Made me look a bit slow.
Just before that a nice Tuscan in flip paint, A17 EEE, also heading north.
