I did some phenomenal lawn mowing on Harewood's behalf yesterday - their car park is fairly unforgiving for low vehicles. I noticed the Gallardo but not much else. What did I miss?

That you did!

Like I said: in the car park; not a right lot! Compared to normal levels, that is! I didn't venture far into the car park on the edge of the hill, though. I was distressed by an Alfa 147 in quite unloved condition near the paddock. (scratch on the bonnet left so long that the undercoat had coome off and it had gone rusty, missing door handle... ). Not the kind of thing you expect amongst all the nice metal!

On track action was great - the Ferrari club put on a good show and the nationals were very close. Loved the GT40 replica. It was beautiful, that and the Audi Quattro, with the mahoosive wings front and rear. Both stood out for being so unusual.

Few of my shots here: http://www.motorcardiaries.co.uk/2012/harewood-hil... Lovely day out.

On the school run between Skipton & Ilkley this morning...

Rover P4 (I think), twin tone (grey/light blue possibly but I was a bit half asleep at the time ) It was 4 up and looked absolutely terrific.

Then on the way back a nice little silver Boxter (xx GOF) followed by a light blue MX5 (ORG xx), both top down and both looking like they were up for a little fun. A nice thing to see on a weekday morning.

Just stepped out for a coffee in Skipton and saw a completely pristine blue E39 M5. God how I miss mine.

Nice one waitey, dad , and mum to some degree, could hear you leaving in the morning when you where based across the pond. Dad can spot a TVR but does not recognise models. Are you a TVRCC member as well. Hope to see a few in the area next time we are around. Harrogate based but as mentioned visit often.

Orange Overfinch with 'Ale' number plate. Seen this the last two days in Brighouse. It sounds fantastic

[snotrag]

Honda Integra-R heading through Garforth this evening, great car, great noise, marred a bit by dubious mods, a lot of oil smoke and an inability to know how to go round a roundabout in the correct lane :hammer:

I only found out that Overfinch are based in Birstall fairly recently, surprised I don't see more of them around but it always seems to be Kahn stuff.

I remember reading a post on here about them being a famous 'Leeds' company. The guy driving this one had a massive grin today listening to the exhaust

Funnily enough, the end of the road where I grew up! I'm not sure they chose the best spot with Fieldhead Estate right behind them though. I remember seeing a Murcielago turning into there one day and nearly collapsing in shock considering the location!

i spotted a black Tuscan 3 (very shiny) on the Adel/ringroad traffic lights at around 2:15 this afternoon... anyone here?

[giblet]

Spotted a blue Gallardo with a plate ending in SPY as I was joining the M1 at Wakefield/Denby Dale

[DanielJames]

a blue GT3 just flew past me and my mate in an Alfa 156 on the M621

Sounded amazing and had a private plate, A20 J**

[balders118]

I got flashed and waved at by a chap in a purple puma on the Esso roundabout, Horsforth earlier today... Any of you lot?
