Followed a very nice orange Datsun 240Z up by Odsal Top this afternoon.

THat would have been me. Sadly it's a 280z and not a 40 but I love it all the same! First post but I'll pop up a thread on the car soon with some pictures.

Car looked very nice and sounded good too. I used to work on the turnstiles at Odsal back in the day, so saw plenty of nice cars up that stretch! Look forward to your thread and photos.

Loads out this morning while out in my Elise -

- aero screened Caterham style car coming into York from Helmsley
- McLaren 650S, Gallardo, F-Type, 911's and more in convoy on Blakey Moor
- Loads of Fords in convoy of the A64
- Noble M12 on A64, prompted a comedy double-take from me!

Assume there was some sort of Ford meet this weekend as the M1 was full of Foci with crap stickers and wind deflectors.

Saw an epic spot this morning. South Bound M1 between Junc 32 - 31, Land Rover 110 lwb, towing a trailer with a white 675LT on it! Perfect two car garage.

Thanks, I'll get some better pictures up in a couple of days. She does need a few bits doing but she is a head turner.

Are you local to Odsal?

[Poisson96]

I may have seen a certain yellow van again, proving it probably is local to Sheffield

Yeah I live just nearby

Drove past a lovely sounding TVR t350 pulling into Trinity walk in wakefield about lunch time. Been a long time since I last spotted a TVR, you always forget how small the t350's are.

Keep an eye out for my Clio Trophy, I live near the fire station.

Yeah man I will do - I'd love to pick up a Clio 172 as a track car for a bit of fun. Is it bad I don't know where the firestation is?? I'm just off the odsaltop roundabout...

Yes as it's at the bottom of the roundabout on Huddersfield Rd haha.

Ahh ok - that near the little Tesco metro?

Loads of stuff out yesterday but the highlight by a huge margin was an orange Lamborghini Countach LP400 in period 70s orange. It was on the A64 near the Buckles Inn. Still looked completely bonkers, even though it's 45 years old.

I've spotted a 850 with the full BTCC livery in Headingley a few times recently. I'm planning on doing something similar when I finally head down to Le Mans next year.

Looks very nice to me. Can't remember the last time I saw a Z before yours!

Cheers dude! I saw one when I was a kid at a car show and fell in love with them - never saw one again till 2015 and that made me decide I had to have one. Since then I've seen a few - but only cos I've been shopping for them. Not seen one in the wild since I got mine though.

A nice run out, well about 6 hours to Derbyshire and back actually.

Not quite, it's literally at the bottom of the slip road as you come off the roundabout.
