Did you replace the RS3 with the A45 AMG?

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?

Nice i8 plated 86 AG has just embarrassed me from the lights on the loop road by Queens Hotel.

Anyone here?

Yellow Aventador 50th Anniversary Edition driving down Denby Dale heading onto Thornes Road on Friday evening about 5 Ish, moments after seeing a Grey SL63 AMG R231.

Grey Nissan GT-R and Volcano Red McLaren driving by Calder Park this morning.

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.

A purple Murchi Heading towards Rawdon from Horsforth on the A65 at about 2:15pm today.

A light Blue TVR Wedge near Greengates Sainsbury's at around 1:30pm.

Saw the Murci too near the crematorium

Ubbs, think I saw you at Sainsbury's petrol station the other day in Rawdon in the A45...

Also, today an orange Datsun 240z in Horsforth was a great thing to see

[roystinho]

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.

Probably me coming home from the gym, not been out today so no spots from me.

Could've been between Horsforth and Rodley roundabouts thinking about it

I was in a little red Clio Trophy, I'll keep an eye out for you. Did it have a private plate on I seem to remember(?)

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?

[carlove]

Saw a yellow V8 Vantage in Leeds yesterday, not quite sure where though, was lost, close to Roundhay Park.

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.

I see that around quite a bit. I wondered if it was Mr Powell's old one (can't remember his username on here now...)?

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

Not me, mine was a Black N400

Yellow Aston had private plate, sure it ended with "POT" or "PUT".
