On a similar note, whoops...

A gleaming Ferrari is not a car you’d normally associate with off-roading.

And that’s certainly not what the driver of this super fast sports car worth tens of thousands of pounds could have intended when it ended up crashed in a field off New Hey Road in Outlane.

Ha, comment from the follow up story...

"Perhaps you should be looking a little closer to home. Why is assumed that all motoring journalists are London based? The main man of a rather prominent website called Pistonheads.com lives in Brighouse... perhaps its him, he has a bad habit of crashing cars."

Saw a Gumball 3000 trailer on Shipton Road which judging by the decals had a GTR inside, towed by a Nissan Navara (or similar pick up)

Saw an F40, closely followed by another Ferrari (not sure what, it was hidden behind roadsigns) and a modified GTR on the A59 last night near the A1.

Don't think I've ever seen an F40 on the road before.

Two US Police cars near YTV today. Sadly when I got up to take a pic they started to move off so I only got one pic with a lamppost through the middle of the car which I won't post for fear of mocking!
