The 2016 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

I'm guessing that Aston is a GT8 or something similar?
Had a black C-reg Daimler Sovereign V12 following me on the M621 today - was expecting some blokes with sawn off shotguns to get out and rob me.

White c63 getting on the M62 towards Manchester at a Ainley top yesterday around 3pm. Gave it the beans just as I gave mine the beans- sounded nice. Grey Ferrari 456GT on st Anne's lane in Leeds about 40 mins later- lovely to see a pukka V12 being used in this weather!

White Escort RS Turbo with matching plate on the Selbyring 130ish today.

New black C63s estate down by the calls this morning, damn did it look nice!

Seen a few in Harrogate over the past couple of weeks:

- See a red Jag XK-RS regularly.
- White Dodge Challenger with blue stripes.
- Gunmetal McLaren 650s.
- Blue '65 Plate' GTR
- White 991 GT3 RS
- Blue BMW 850 (Still love these!)

Unfortunately, we are at the point of the year where all the nice stuff has gone away and it's just row upon row of Range Rovers (can't complain, I've done the same).

I might park on St Paul's Street when I'm waiting for people more often. In the past couple of days I've had all these giving it beans and sounding very nice as they've gone past:

- Olly in the M4 tonight
- White F-Type Jag twice.
- Yellow Merc AMG GTS yesterday.
- Black Porsche 928 today.

Of the nice cars I see around town the majority are parked up on St Paul's Street. I usually walk it twice a day if going to my office mind.

There is a nice black Aston Vanquish I have seen a few times recently. First time coming onto Wellington Street off the A58 opposite the old Yorkshire Post site and then parked up a few doors along from Calls Landing the other Saturday. Lovely looking thing.

Ha. I was near by in the gym from 5:00 to 8:20 so wasn't me. Not seen another one on the road around here.

A couple of properly rare cars over the weekend:
- Light blue 1984 Aston V8 Vantage (A1ASV) by Roundhay Park on Sunday. Old couple in it dressed in their Sunday best.
- Grey Ferrari 456GT (D1NO T) in Headingley on Friday night.

- Also saw a red mark 2 Astra GTE in a driveway in Wakefield this morning; looked in very good nick too!

Spotted this Blyton Park lover at Wooley Edge services in the early afternoon today:

[Viperzs]

I saw the green Huracan 'Hell Yeah' and a Ferrari 328 in Helmsley on Saturday, had a quick chat then I ran away

Silver Cayman GTS on Lord Mayors Walk in York on Saturday.

Lovely noise that makes, normally don't hear it from the outside.

RR Sport SVR on the way into Leeds this morning. So far up my backside I was genuinely contemplating opening the throttle up and barbecuing your front bumper. My only hope is that you heard the profanity as you drove past and that your next bowel movements are incredibly painful. Other than that have a good Christmas.

[v15ben]

Brilliant post about the SVR.
- Blue/purple coloured Nova kit car on the ring road by JCT Ferrari this morning. Bloody weird looking things, like a 70s sci-fi car!

[richatnort]

Finally! I have spotted a red Civic Type R by leeds dock today. I have to admit they look rather mean and a bit Ahhh I'm in your face but I kind of liked it.
