Had a red California fly past me on the M621 on Monday afternoon, probably doing 100+ and it sounded great!

Also saw a pristine green Datsun 120Y in Outwood lat night.

Moved back to Yorkshire at the end of July mate.
Living just outside Leeds city centre.

On topic, just saw a '97 Maserati Ghibli parked down by Granary Wharf.
I was impressed that it had 126k miles at the last MOT according to the VehicleSmart app!

On Bootham in York this morning there was a beautiful white VXR - 2011 plate - that got multiple thumbs up from me, especially as the driver was kind enough to respond to my request for an increase in volume smile
Good work that man, it sounded splendid!
(I was on the push bike in the Newcastle Brown Ale top, so my request may have seemed unusual at first smile )
Cheers,
Tom

A 1978 (S) bright red Ford Consul eastbound on the M62 near Hartshead moor in an almighty traffic jam this morning. Looked cool.

Car looked and sounded good. I noticed the ducktail on the back - always been a fan on MX5s.

Thanks smile its just back from the bodyshop after having some surgery on one of the sills. So im in holiday mode at the moment with it. I used to like the ducktail but now I have gone off it, I put it on
in a rush, so theres a lot of tiger seal on it thats visible and looks tatty. I should have had the bodyshop clean it up now that I think about it.

Where did you see me out of interest?

It was me Tom. I had only just opened the exhaust valves a few meters beforehand. Always happy to give it a few revs when people ask, glad the sound is pleasurable. Just sorry I didn't put it on the dashcam.

I also see that Tesla have now opened a 'shop' in the Victoria quarter
On a Tesla note, I definitely saw more when I lived in MK than up here although there are charging stations everywhere down there.

I did see one of the new P90D models in Morley the other day. Apparently they do 0-60 in 2.8 seconds in 'insane' mode! Pretty ugly, but no doubt a very good car.

Had a cabbie in a 90d a couple of weeks ago.

It's fair to say that they are brisk.
