Orange Mclaren MP4 this morning on the M62. You hogged the outside lane for several miles, before finally moving to the middle lane - presumably because your phone had just rang as it was firmly fixed to your ear as I went by.

No bluetooth in these things? Bit shoddy.

As I mentioned earlier on I think it's a car club car so I bet they won't bother even pairing up the Bluetooth each time it's used.

I keep spotting a dark blue E60 M5 on Stanningley Rd in Armley, sounds quite nice.

Bluetooth is available with the satnav as of 1st october (all cars having a retrofit) But still no excuse !!! Think the car is ecurie25 one

I know Mclaren are good..? But I'm sure they have not invented a self pairing Bluetooth when you enter the car.? So as I said I bet they can't be bothered to pair it up each time they hire it.........

Spotted this tasty E34 M5 in the Ikea carpark in Birstall -

I am pretty sure this car was parked outside one of those car pitches on bradford road just near Birstall Smithies this morning.

my local (Craven Arms in Appletreewick)

Before the smoking ban, this used to be the "clean air pub" IIRC (think there are two in Aptwick so it's probably the other one), would it be the same landlord as it was back then?

Yes you have them the wrong way round, Dave

The New Inn was the No Smoking pub and the Craven Arms is one of my favorite all time pubs
great for good beer (brewed in a micro brewery round the back)and also lovely home cooked food
(unless it has changed since I was last there!!!)

Two rarities in the last week. A dark green W8 passat saloon on the A1M northbound last night, perhaps the ultimate Q car if it weren't for the 4 exhausts. And just slightly less subtle was a white Q7 V12 TDI with ABT badge last Thursday night A1M northbound too, i don't think ive ever seen disc brakes as big as it has, they looked as large in diameter as most tyres!

Just bumped (not literally) into a nice chap in a '07 plate Lapis? Blue 335i coupe at Tesco Doncaster (my local 99 octane) who'd spotted my PH & VMax200 stickers in the Pork as he pulled up to the pumps.

Big Tesco near Balby? Or Little Tesco in Edenthorpe?

Blue wedge TVR 350i in Wakey/Denby Dale yesterday morning. I keep spotting the same black FF in the West Park area as well.

On a side note, does Bradford have the most amount of Audi S3's compared to any other city in the country? I swear every other motor I see when driving in Bradford is a S3, usually being driven in a tttish fashion

Yup, the big one.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the Porker, if you see a Clio Trophy, give me a flash.

PS I'm not the miserable one driving the one with the reg JA53 ABS.
