Nice white Cayman S on the road round Leeds city centre last week, sounded lovely, we were in the noisy corolla if you're on here

Also 2 BMW i8s this morning near seacroft tesco, bloody awesome looking things

Rather nice 458 spider in the Shell garage in Garforth tonight. Had a nice chat across the forecourt.

Ayup! She had just been in for her first service. JCT tell me that I had the most miles on a 458 that they had had in for a first service at 6500! Result.

A black Maserati granturismo (maybe), reg "100 ***" on Whitehall road at about 6pm. Cheers for letting me out (royal mail van) and I enjoyed you easing off and booting it while behind me.

Now then! That's going some, but I have to say that I'd do the same if I happened to be lucky enough to own one.

Must be warm...

Last night M1 southbound Blue TVR Chimaera peeled off the M1 at J38 about 4:30

Sounded great as it pulled out and drive past me after the 50mph limit!

Red Jaguar XKR yesterday evening coming off the M621 to join the M1 northbound near Leeds.
Was a few cars back so pulled out into the wrong lane and absolutely gunned it past everyone and joined back into our lane just in time, a cheeky maneuver but I wasn't complaining with that exhaust note full pelt past my open window.

Well that's been an interesting afternoon.

Going into Rothwell from Ouzlewell Green, a 1929 Ford of some type (plate SRC 296) passed us going the other way.

Then, on the way out towards Woodlesford, the biggest spot of the year for me, GF8511. 1930 Bentley 6.6 litre LeMans team car.

And on the way back home, a 1932 Riley 1500.

Having a look around, it seems the 2015 Flying Scotsman endurance rally starts from Oulton Hall on Friday, so keep your eyes out for assorted interesting machinery in the area! Good God, look at the entry list!

14 plate RS4 Avant passed me on the M18 at about 7.20 this morning. I don't tend to see many about which aren't saloons

There's two that come off J4 of the M18 most mornings! Have you moved schools/house?

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

They were all on our ferry last night from Rotterdam to Hull as we were on our way back from Spa. Some fantastic cars.

Finally spotted the Huracan in Wakefield, looks absolutely stunning in the flesh, especially in Orange. Gemballa GT550 BiTurbo Cayenne parked at Xscape in Castleford, very different! Also at Xscape an E46 M3 Cabrio and E55 AMG W211.

Think I saw that one driving from Rothwell towards Aberford Road on Wednesday at about 3:20, didn't quite catch the reg but sure it started with G1
