Flipping Gorgeous old 911 a few minutes ago in Sherburn, Black, loud exhaust, classic 911 sound. Brill!

Sherburn in elmet, halfway between Leeds and Selby. Where Squires cafe is.

Dave it's an RS2, can't see from that angle but developed by Porsche, got Porsche wheels, brakes etc... Pretty special those.


As for spotted - I've just seen a split mint gorgeous Escort Cossie in Garforth.

Some corkers today between Thorpe perrow, ripon and wetherby. A grey F430, A red GTM Libra, and In Snape I had to stop to look at an absolutely stunning Jaguar parked proudly outside of someone's house. I think it was a 3.8ltr XK 150, got a pic if I can work out how to upload from iPhone to the forum. Really really gorgeous.

A very lovely Lotus Excel, bright White, just outside Ledsham.

Sounds like one of the 'Tributo Ferrari' cars? A bona fide endorsed product, 30grand, bit like the AM Cygnet. Barmy.

Rather shiny TVR wedge in blue near the Evening Post building on Wellington Street this afternoon. Possibly Trickie?

Are you now deaf? If so, probably was :-)

Just got Buzzed by a Mazda RX-7 on the M180 earlier, same Red as my mazda. Big thumbs up, looked ace.

Red Honda NSX on the A64, only spotted the top of the roof over the verge but I knew exactly what it was!

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:

Ferrari California pulling out of Aberford yesterday AM

Mk1 Tuscan targa top on M62 at Howden, gave a smile and a wave, sounded good trundling along. Pretty sure I recognise the plate as a member.

Anyone know why there were hundreds of bikes cutting through the bottom end of town on sunday i think it was, loads of trikes too, pretty cool sight

No idea but I passed the Harley dealership at about 10am and there was a massive swarm of big bikes, chrome and leather heading off somewhere, quite a noise!

Posting from my girlfriends car, just followed a Ferrari FF into Shorpe. Must be lost...

Great looking car though, best one they do currently IMO.

[snotrag]

Black Evora S in Garforth today.

Blue Tuscan targa top in Colton Sainburys earlier. Wisely parked as far as absolute possible from the next nearest car!

Just caught a glimpse of a noisy dark blue TVR Wedge going past garforth earlier...

Turbo technics minker sierra.
This was their development car apparently.

That Sierra is brilliant, never heard of that before. Quick Google suggests it was magazine tested at 4.8 seconds to 60 too!

"To put the Minker's right-foot effect into perspective, take the following list of exotica : Audi Quattro 20v, Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, Ferrari Testarossa, Lamborghini Countach 5000QV, Nissan 300ZX, Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3, TVR 390SE. You've beaten them all from zero to 60mph. The Minker's 4.8 secs time is unbeatable. You are the fastest thing on the road. For the standing quarter mile, there are only two cars which will be just ahead : the Porsche (by 0.2 secs) and the Countach (0.3 secs). Fast company indeed."
