I don't think I have ever spotted a 760 before, can't be that many people out there with both the balls and the wallet to buy one new!

Maserati Granturismos are getting common. Spotted a blue one with the plate V12YAS parked outside Leeds Grand Theatre a few hours ago.

I'd rather see your Noble! and get some nice snaps of it.
If you're around the Scunny/Donny area much I'm sure you'll bump into it at some point! Had its first decent run of the year yesterday out to Hull and then up to north yorks

You wouldn't think that someone who owned a new BMW 760Li would shop at Morrisons would you? This was parked next to the car park door in Rothwell. I guess the owner is called Chun (or Chung etc), Anyway the driver was lovely chap who saw me taking a photo, I commented that you don't see many LWB / 760s and we exchanged pleasantries. For all it's hugeness it really didn't appear much bigger than the supremely lardy MINI Travellers that usually park in that spot (which everyone thinks is a parking place, but isn't).



Also spotted driving through Rothwell, a black Bentley, registration 5JWT, driven by a mature lady, which was a surprise as they usually seem to be driven by men. Not as nice as the last Bentleys that I saw down there mind you, but then they were 70 years older.
My finance director buys a new 760Li every 3/4 years, beautiful cars to both drive and passenger in

Time for a mini run out down the back roads near Scunny/Donny?

Think it might be!


A white 458 in The Light car park in Leeds last night, and a GTR booting it through the tunnel near the train station about 4.30pm.

Navy blue Huracan in Harrogate earlier.

Oh, then a black P1 mugged me at warp speed 11 over to Greenhow Hill. Looked like a spaceship.

Yet to see one in person, having seen a few 918s and a few La Ferraris I think the P1 could be the nicest looking car out of the three.

I really really like them, saw a pearl white one recently which looked stunning aside from the headlights.

Spotted a red Mattig widebody Astra in Shipley this lunchtime. I think it's the same one that used to be parked up on Leeds Rd in Bradford opposite the Akbars. Odd looking thing!
