They really get around that lot, there loads of out and about in the Cumbrian flood water too. I believe there was a big club event going on.
They were in Skipton too on sat morning. I saw about 20 Bs, couple of Cs, a few As and some TDs and TCs.

You've got to hand it to the MG boys - they don't let a bit of rain put them off smile

Saw a green Focus RS a couple times last week on the way to Harrogate. Kept meeting between BP roundabout and the grammar school at about 7:10am.

It sounded amazing while it overtook. Even gave me a little 'pop' while going past. (I was in the white 306 if you're reading this)
That might well be Mark from C&M motors. It's on the Poppelton industrial estate.

A white Phantom Drophead in Halifax last night and what I'm guessing was a replica, a silver 356 Speedster in Scarborough on Fri evening.

Saw something on Museum Street at about 5 but was distracted, was silver convertible and I think it may have been a Ferrari.

Yes the 356 is a rep. I used to live around the corner from it.

The clio on a trailer is a guy called James who races in Tin Tops event. Top guy. Lives in Ilkley and probably off testing as there was something wrong with it not so long ago. That's if it was grey with orange bits on

It was him, just found out that his new carbon fiber bonnet complete with vents causes water to drip on the coil packs, battery and ECU!

ETA: But according to him that wasn't the problem it was a load of black smoke that came out of the vents that was the worry. Fortunately for him it was a load of diesel smoke from the van infront being sucked in by that rad fans!
