Almost, was blue with four wheels and someone sat in the drivers seat.

Just remembered, saw an Audi S7 on Lord Mayor's Walk a few days ago (possibly Wednesday morning).

Also, _Leg_ is you Boxter silver? I've seem a new silver (might be grey actually) Boxter in York a few times.

That be me then wavey . It arrives a few days before Christmas, what a present, even though I bought it my self. I have exchanged a few emails with Ubbs brother already. He and Robsco seem to have followed similar routes going from the car to a Tuscan, I have no intention of follow suit, sorry its a keeper.
He really rates the v8 cerbs didn't like the Tuscan said it was too "twitchy" being an engineer his cars are allways looked after, I can always remember him taking me out in fnw when he first bought it pretty scary lets say!

Agate grey mate. Not been to York in it yet. Leeds though. No spots in that or the m3 or other cars. :-(

Can't be that one then, Did see a grey one in Leeds about a month ago, looking at Google Maps it was in an area called Moortown.
Surprised you haven't been spotted, your garage is quite unique.

I'm getting quite a complex about it. :-(

Drove out of Leeds*, roof off, PSE on at 5 yesterday after an afternoon blowing money in Leeds centre and.......not one spot.

I bet I got plenty of 'Porsche ahole with his roof down in winter' none PHer comments in the traffic though. ;-)

  • the tunnel from Leeds centre up onto the a64 with the roof down and PSE on was so good I nearly went back for another run.

If you have the heaters on then why not, I would but I've got no convertible. I heard a new boxter and it sounded fantastic, don't know if PSE was on or not, it must have sounded brilliant in a tunnel.

Am I right in saying PSE are those exhausts that have some sort of flap that comes down in the exhaust and make it sound sportier?.

I know where you mean, I go through that tunnel a lot, I like it because it makes my lights come on. biggrin

That's what my sport button does, it also turns my car into a rocket and scares me.
Mine doesn't light up though. frown

Nice matt black Maserati Granturismo in Rothwell earlier.

Also saw the turquoise R8 V8 that lives not far from me last Friday. Hadn't seen it in months so figured he'd sold it.

My opinion of the Tuscan is broadly similar. FNW is a scarier car from the passenger seat, the Tuscan is scarier in the driver's!
