Just seen possibly the same Dino, broken down on the ring road near Horsforth. Poor little thing.

Ah.. Sounds like it need's comforting and looking after.....! Needs taking home to be loved and caressed.....!

That's a real shame.
It sounded really nice when I saw it just down the road!

Saw some lovely cars yesterday around 7/8pm heading from Sheffield to Bakewell, a red 997 C4s seemed to be giving it some and sounded gooooood!

I'm in the process of an interior redesign/rebuild at the minute and dropped some parts off to an upholsterer based in Yorkshire and was surprised to see a lovely XJ220 that he was working on and a mint e-type parked alongside.

Grey V8 F Type S with the roof down giving it some welly off the lights on Kirkstall Rd by the Shell this afternoon. Rather vocal black Mk5 R32 in town.

360CS on the M1 last Friday followed it all the way through the road works until I get off at jct 33.

Reg: R10T X

Sounded spectacular.

Big crash on the M621 this morning, what appeared to be a shiny blue MX5 (could have been a Z4) in a bit of a mess was involved. Hopefully not a fellow PHer.

Spotted the aftermath as I was heading the other way. Looked like a MX5 to me. 3-4 other vehicles involved. Looked messy but not too bad.

New shape SL63AMG heading down Denby Dale Road with the top down. Grey with Grey wheels looked tasty.

Silver Audi R8 next to York Minster. Was hoping to see some Tesla Model S's out and about due to a Test Drive event here in York, but didn't see any.

Was that just before 7pm? I saw an R8 on the approach to the Minster,on my way to ... drive the Tesla Model S parked outside the Dean Court Hotel, opposite the Minster

To be fair, the Tesla was silver and not that striking to look at. Bloody impressive to drive though!

There was only the one car and one Tesla rep, a much smaller "event" than I was expecting TBH.

Thats me. Second time I have ever parked there and clipped the alloy again. Bummer but glad to be spotted :-)

White F Type Coupe at the Northern general yesterday, looked absolutely stunning in the sunshine. Didn't hear it though sadly, but my god it's gorgeous.

Saw a Delta Integrale (don't think it was an evo) on the Bramall lane roundabout yesterday too, again looking very nice in the sun!

Also a C63 AMG Coupe driving like a bit of a tit around the hospital grounds.

Yep, saw the R8 at around 11:30am. I thought it would have been a smallish event. It would have been nice to see one. Was the Tesla an import from Europe or UK Registered?

[moribund]

It was a US-spec car, LHD, German reg. Apparently UK cars are due in a month or so and will be much nicer inside.
