Bit of a Porsche week so far:
- Followed a white 991 GT3 (911KT) through Beeston yesterday.
- Silver 993 Carrera by Babes in the Wood pub on Monday.
- Grey Porsche 968 (looked mint!) parked on Park Square this morning.

- Also I've seen a big police convoy heading past White Rose towards the M62 for the last 2 afternoons; a Range Rover or Discovery with 3 police bikes ahead, 2 cars in front, 4 cars surrounding it and another 3 bikes following on. Anyone know who it might be?

Saw a very similar convoy with police out riders a black E class and a black Discovery in Harrogate the other day

Ginetta G40 near Leeds Costco this evening. Nice to see one on the road.

May well be the owner or MD's car...

Quite a few nice cars out to play yesterday. Myself and N17VES in his GT4 were in a little convoy hunting down a car wash and had a nice red 458 alongside us on Kirkstall Road at one point. Also a nice Maserati GranSport in the petrol station opposite JCT600 Aston. Sounded gorgeous.

Is the R35GTR the one with a really small front number plate / and a very small font? If so I think he lives out Ilkley way as I see it on the A65.

Weekend for convoys?

A couple of Mustangs and a Firebird heading west on the M62 between the M18 and Selby exits about 1145 on Saturday.

And a couple of groups of tinsel-ed up MX5s heading through Howden bound for the 62 about half one yesterday.

Thanks for the spot! and I thought I was being inconspicuous. I was actually in KwikFit as I needed a tyre for the wifes car urgently. I could have saved £20, but needed it on Sunday and it had to match other 3 Pirelli's already on

A black mean looking Shelby Mustang with red stripe at the mad mile roundabout, Ossett at 12 today. What a noise......

No chance of being inconspicuous in that thing I'm afraid.
