Yellow Emira in Pool in Wharfedale today, around 1pm.

[Feirny]

On a Lotus theme it appears.

Green S2 Exige X8TUS on the M62 around 12 and a grey Emira a minute behind it and a new bright blue Corvette coming off the 62 at Tingley.

No I don’t think so. We were on our way home from The Lakes. The next NYLOC meeting is March 31st.

I saw one of the new electric SUVs in Gargrave on Saturday morning.
I thought it was a Urus at first.

Not seen one for ages and always thought they were terribly bland but I imagine it was a pleasing sight in our world of SUVs with aggressive aero!

I seem to remember the twin turbo one being rarer than an F40, that's a good spot!

On the M1 heading south this morning (somewhere between Wakefield and Sheffield) a Lexus GSF with a GSF private plate passed me. I'd never heard of the GSF, but I think it's my new favourite car. A Lexus barge with a 5.0 V8.

An unexpected spot on Wiggington Road heading past the hospital earlier this afternoon, an Aston Martin Vanquish Zegato, a very rare car I believe.

[loughran]

Not sure I'd be taking my Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato out on a day like today.

Was it a shooting brake ?

Certainly not the weather I expected to see such a car in, but nice to see one being used.

It was a coupe, it was coming the other way, and I thought it looked different somehow, but only realised what it was when I looked in the mirror.

[ellroy]

Bright yellow Ford GT on the A64 going east towards Malton on Saturday morning. That was unexpected.

Sierra Cosworth and a Lotus Elan near Beverley yesterday

[thetapeworm]

Leeds earlier today.

Quite a clean design, a world away from today’s fake scoops, vents, exhaust and over done creases. It was metallic green with gold wheels like the “Nescafé” Laguna BTCC livery.

Saw a red Accord Type R by the Costa drive thru in Castleford today. Again quite subtle looking (bar the massive boot spoiler!)

And not so subtle, lovely white Celica GT4 on the A1 south near Fairburn mid morning.

Saw something I've never seen in real life before, and I had to do some Googling to remind myself of it's name, I saw a NSU Ro80! it was on a car transporter leaving the Citroen, VW and Mercedes garage junction in Clifton Moor with what looked like some part exchanges destined for the auctions(Citroen/Peugeot's part exchanges as a guess), or could be completely unrelated to the dealers.

If you don't know what one looks like


An Aston Martin Zagato and a NSU Ro80 in the same week, whatever could be next?

Blue Alpine A110 Beckwithshaw Wednesday night
