The 458 rings a bell

Wasn't red was it? If so it's been parked just down from hippos pizza the times I've seen it

Off topic: great pizza from hippos. Always torn between hippos and pizza house Moortown.

Orange S2 Exige coming out of a premier inn in Huddersfield this morning, near the M62 junction for Brighouse.

Another Lotus spot this morning too. I brown/gold (really odd colour never seen anything like it before) Lotus Evora coming past Calls Landing this morning.

Not really a 'spot' but there's an enzo and 599 GTO in the Ferrari garage at the minute (or was last weekend)

They were still there this morning.
- Black Ferrari FF down by JCT Porsche earlier in the week.
- Grey DB9 GT on Armley Gyratory; new model apparently, never heard of it.
- White Maserati Gran Turismo S on Churwell Hill; sounded very nice.

that enzo at jct is so much prettier than magazine pictures would ever suggest,

I saw the DB9 GT passing 53 degrees north last week. Must admit I had to google it.

Not generally a big fan of the DB9 but that one looked good (and sounded epic when he gunned it).

The Enzo has always looked much nicer in the flesh. Still not a patch on the MC12, that's a work of art.

I definitely agree. I tend to almost ignore new Astons now as there are so many in Leeds, but that GT did stand out and sounded very nice. Followed a black Vanquish through the tunnels by Elland Road the other day and it sounded very quiet in comparison.

[lee_fr200]

they had one of them in earlier on in the year or maybe last year, leeds needs a mclaren dealer, if i ever wanted to see anything exotic dad used to take me to barr & barr

Don't say that - thinking of joining the masses!

someone i know repairs them and a 2yr old one was full of rust on the inner arches he said he's done 18 astons over the last 5 yrs and they've all been the same! look nice though

They are definitely nice cars and I'd happily have one.

It might be because of JCT being in Leeds, but this week for example I've seen a new Vanquish, the DB9 GT, a white DB9, and a couple of V8 Vantages in and around the city centre. Just get a bit blasé about Astons, new Porsches, GTRs, BMW M and Merc AMG etc when you see them daily, same as seeing Ferraris in London I guess.

The 2 cars I've seen that genuinely caught my attention this week?
- Black Rover SD1 2600 up by Weetwood School.
- Gold BMW 320 Baur Convertible outside a shop on Cardigan Road.

It's definitely the older more interesting stuff that catches my eye these days or the rarer fancier supercars.

Nice Maserati GranTurismo in a lovely shade of red this morning from Horsforth roundabout to Rodley roundabout. I only got a quick glimpse but it looked like the MC Stradale version.

[lee_fr200]

i saw what looked like a very old ferrari, didn't really catch the reg but it looked something like 258AD

might have been a replica but it looked nice

I think it belongs to Lawrence Tomlinson LTN Group which owns Ginetta Cars..

Saturday afternoon at Redbrick Mill we parked in front of a grey 5.0 Mustang (RHD) - very nice too.
Then driving out saw a brand new Corvette in gunmetal. Absolutely gorgeous car similar to this (click on the photo then again after it opens in Thumbsnap for a clearer picture )
