They do say that in order to truly appreciate the light, one must also experience the darkness

I had a white 216 as my first car!
Never had a 4c though, but there is time!
I also had a 216 as my first car and a few others since. This one has just under 30k on the clock. Sadly one side is a tad dented. I remember your 216, coupe bumpers and 16" hairpins right?Never had a 4c though, but there is time!

That Rover is a beast 
Like the 4C a lot though, wouldn't mind having a look round it at a meet soon.
I should be at the B&Q meet for a bit tomorrow if you fancy a look around?Like the 4C a lot though, wouldn't mind having a look round it at a meet soon.

Be interested to hear your views on the 4C Giblet. Was offered a cracking lease deal on one recently and was tempted either alongside or even instead of my daily.
I've not driven anything like it before. It's pretty raw and every drive feels like an event. It attracts a lot of attention, all good so far. Still annoying as I'm not exactly someone who likes the attention! Only had it for 2 weeks, managed 500 miles in it so far. What deal were you offered?andburg said:
Haha yeah that was me!
Have we met at some point?!?!
Not sure but I do remember you from my Rovertech days. I think you either sold or bought an induction kit from my brother at some point too. Have we met at some point?!?!
All sorts of stuff out in the nice weather today. Stand outs include a 458 Italia in Kirkstall, a DB9 hooning in West Park and a blue Fiat coupe turbo that I had a play with near Pool Bank this evening.
Oh and Paul's lovely Viper at the B&Q meet

I was parked a few bays in front of you two.
Were you in the Clio? I think I spotted you turning upRogue86 said:
I was parked at the back of that Viper too (must be out of shot by millimetres!) - didn't realise so many PHers frequented it. Lovely 4C, great colour choice too. There's a white one locally but it just doesnt look as striking.
I watched you park up but wasn't sure if it was you so decided against coming over in a creepy forum nerd kind of way. Lovely car, don't see many about in such good condition.Saw and heard a 458 Speciale thundering around near Sheffield university yesterday evening.
A lot of nice metal out this weekend including a lot of classic stuff out near Beckwithshaw, Fewston etc today. I'm guessing a show was going on somewhere around there?
Red B7 RS4 and a red 458 spider in Batley yesterday afternoon. Black Alfa Quadrofoglio in Kirkstall this evening, menacing looking thing.

Close! YMB M3 you were heading along Queenswood drive heading to Spen lane.
I'm sure the plate is fine and suits the design of the car.
Ah. Saw both a M3 and a M4 in YMB yesterday. I love the rear on both, aggressive looking cars. Really nice colour as well.I'm sure the plate is fine and suits the design of the car.

- Red Alfa 4C Spider on South Parade, Giblet?
Yup! Had to nip into town. Glad I managed to find street parking, not looking forward to my first multi-storey car park trip in it. Lovely GT4 Lusso in the Victoria Gate car park tonight

Try the John Lewis car park - often spaces in the outdoor section and minimal ramps.
Good shout, used it before once but was on the first few levels. Did a full lap of it today, so much nicer than Trinity. There are however some kids on skateboards and scooters hanging about here! Ady222 said:
Seen a F40 around A1 and near pontefract recently woundered if it was anyone local??
There is a chap in Leeds who owns one amongst a few other toys. Not seen it out for a while but saw his yellow 512 BBi last summer.TheBALDpuma said:
I flashed a red 4c today on the slight chance it was Giblet...?
Sadly not, I was driving a anonymous grey AudiA1 yesterday. There is a 4C coupe that has been spotted by a few people near Chapel Allerton recently. Shnozz said:
Nice black Mclaren parked on St Pauls Street this lunch. no idea on model numbers these days.
Short private plate? Looked like a MP4-12C to me, spotted it on Wellington Street heading towards Kirkstall Road at around 13:15 Shnozz said:
Probably the same car. L1 *** the plate.
The headlights looked like the 540/570 but the rear end more like the older MP4. As I say, I am crap with Macca models.
Yup same plate. I only caught the back of it. Seems aftermarket kits exist to update the front end to the later models so it might have had that fitted?The headlights looked like the 540/570 but the rear end more like the older MP4. As I say, I am crap with Macca models.
Vocal Quattroporte 4.7 in town on the way home this evening and then a louder GranTurismo 4.7 near Leeds Uni a short while later. Such a lovely sounding V8

I was surprised to see this lot parked up by Roundhay Road yesterday afternoon.
All part of a certain "Lord" of car rental's fleet apparently.
The Phantom drophead on the left looks like it's owned by the chaps being the Abu Bakr supermarket. Makes sense given it's parked outside a branch. All part of a certain "Lord" of car rental's fleet apparently.
Spotted a white Exige V6 R this morning in Headingley, looked menacing especially with the giant rear wing.
