The Twisted and DBS are Yarm cars.

Where / what about thus silver A4 plod car ????

To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to it. Silver A4 estate, looked like a pretty ordinary TDI model. V subtle Police mods, when it first passed us, it had no lights or siren going and I would never have realised it was the Police!

Saw it around Swan House on A19 North. We pulled off to go to Roots Farm Shop which was already shut and when we rejoined the A19 they were pulled over in a layby, somewhere near the Picton turn off. At this point, the A4 had one of those matrix things in the back window saying 'POLICE FOLLOW ME'.

This morning Shell petrol station just off Wardley, White 911 GT3 RS with plate something CSL.
Looked like a mechanic was filling it up.

Black Porsche Panemera following me through towards Rickleton next to the electric van place. First Panemera that I've seen that I actually like.

Then, later on, a grey Audi R8 heading down the A195 towards the Washington Highway.

White 5 series M Sport BMW leaving Stannington today around 11.45am.

I thought he was going to have a play!

I have seen a few times around Yarm this weekend a 991 convertible in White with Red roof and a Duck Tail.

Some kind of Speed special?

Spotted this a couple of times in yarm last week.

I know its not an exotic car but I had two back in the day and have a massive soft spot for them - silver / blue Peugeot 205 GTi gleaming in the sun between Seaton Sluice and Blyth this morning. Brought back memories of happy days!

Probably not the same one, but I saw two yellow 'boy racer' type 'West Coast' edition Saxos in Newcastle the other night. They weren't together, but they did meet at some traffic lights at one point. The drivers look surprised to see another one! I haven't seen one in years! Not since I was much younger and test drove one. Loved the colour and the yellow trim detail inside, wasn't so wild about the 1.4 engine!

I've seen it about a few times in Redcar. It makes a lovely sound.

I will never understand why people build these, what exactly is the point... besides the issue that they never look right theres the final kick in the balls that your driving a ford cougar of all things or Peugeot 406 coupe. Then the deluded individuals put them on the classifieds for the best part of £30k.

Honda NSX blind lane,Birtley.10.30 this morning.Nice motor

[williskwl]

blue Integra type r with a PH smiley on the quayside most evenings, I see it a lot but its the first time I have seen the smiley!

Followed a red Porsche 928 cabrio (L plate) on the A66/A19 north this morning, first spot for me. On the A19 we both caught up to a white Cayman and a Bentley GT...Nice start to the day!

A black Maserati Gran Turismo '11 ARM' travelling past Gateshead Stadium,then a black BMW M5 (E60 shape) 'K500 ---' and a M3 (E90 shape) 'N1 XON' both in Hebburn this afternoon.

[p3skydave]

Oops...forgot about the pale blue Porsche 968 Sport near Gateshead Stadium as well.

Spotted this Uno Turbo in the Metrocentre Yellow car park about an hour ago. So intriguing I stopped to get some photos even though it was chucking it down with rain.






Lots of nice mods on it, lightweight wheels, FMIC, wide arches, obligatory cannon exhaust etc. Inside, interior stripped right out bar the original dash, half cage, bucket seats, harnesses mounted to the cage etc. Looked every part the homebrew rally car. I imagine it's probably fairly nippy, probably weighs very little and by the look of it's I'd guess it's had a bit done to the engine too. Exceedingly cool in my books, I was more excited about seeing this than I would have been seeing the latest Ferrari.
