There's a 16 plate one with HU16YRA or similar that seems to get everywhere. My mate sent me a photo of it on the M6 in the Lakes a couple of months back and I've seen photos of it from events all over the north.

- Saw N17 VES in the GT4 by the Lexus garage yesterday afternoon.

That'll be the one - HU16YRA. As I say, was gingerly pussy footing about in the Lakes worried about being too heavy with the right foot when that chap nailed it past me - impressive testicle size.

See that N17 VES is still keeping miles off the GT4 and keeping healthy walking to work then. Ahem.

Van (possibly an Iveco) travelling on the M1 near Wakefield this morning with a big PH smiley on the rear door.

Anyones?

My Transit?? If so MY FIRST SPOT

[Otter Smacker]

That's the one .

Can't belive I branded your van wrong. Thought it was an Iveco Daily at first, due to the height .

Dark blue S2 Elise with white stripes on Bradford ring road this morning.

Haha! Was actually on the way to Leeds Porsche centre only to be told no in person for next gen GT3.

White R8 spanking it on the B road towards Easington this afternoon.

Silver Z3m coupe making a lovely noise by leeds dock just now.

Anyone know it?

Nothing exotic, but a very tidy MX5 heading from Leathley to Beckwithshaw this morning in a queue of slow-moving traffic. Dark silver with a black mohair hood and fab orange/bronze wheels. Looked very nice

Black Dodge Charger on a trailer this morning heading off Horsforth roundabout towards Rodley roundabout, it looked HUGE and very cool!

yeah, shes a bit bigger & higher than your average transit, quite ironic considering most peoples default description of any van is "a transit van"

What were you driving?

White R8 Cabrio in Retford (yes, I know this isn't technically Yorkshire) being driven by a 50 something lady with her seat so far forward her chin was practically resting on top of the steering wheel.

[Lhasa]

Tidy 991 Turbo S this morning on the A1079.

Vxr8 badged as Holden, plate AU51 UFO, about 5:15pm today turning up the hill from bailiff bridge lights heading up towards Hartshead. I was behind and the sound it makes is SPECTACULAR

Just remembered this Aston Martin Rapide V12 from a couple of days ago too, heading East out of York. Great colour

Probably the first one I've seen on a public road.

I was a little fixated on that smiley and just saw a tall van .

The car I was in was just an old Volvo V70 (nothing special apart from the driver edition).

another R8, orange in dodworth at bannatynes

Spotted a 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB passing by the Playhouse in Leeds at approx 4pm this afternoon.

That's two 488's spotted in less than a week, do I win a prize?!

[ClassicMercs]

17 plate red Alfa 4C heading into Scarborough just before 5pm - sounded and looked great.

ah, I love the volvo's had 3 myself! The Smiley is left over from LeMans last year, as are the stripes and the LeMans sticker on the door, hides the rust quite well & holds the back end of the van to the front!!

I'll keep an eye out for a V70 waving at me on a morning then
