Lots of lovely machinery in Helmsley square today. The Flying Scotsman Classic Reliability Rally is on its way from London to Edinburgh passing through here. Brave chap parked his competition Aston DB5 between two badly parked cars in the main car park.

Don't think so - they're badged as Abarths with "Tributo Ferrari" text on the badges, but no donkey.
Sounds like a limited edition that Fiat did for Ferrari dealerships for their cars. They weren't available to buy new, only when dealers flogged then 2nd hand
I can see that being a possibility. Still doesn't excuse the use of the race team badge on the wings of a car that isn't even a Ferrari! smile

I feel as strongly as Al does about this, its just not on. I'd be furious if I ever saw some in a Peugeot or Renault with a Citroen badge on. smile

Also, it is the Ilkley Jubilee tomorrow folks. You may catch sight of 83 rally prepped classics blasting around between Gisburn, Skipton, Ripon and Harrogate.

A handful from a run up to Newcastle yesterday...

Spyker Laviolette on the M62 near Goole heading west just after 10am, couple of the Flying Scotsman Rally cars, including an immaculate looking Talbot AV105.

Saw a few more of them on the way back south to the north of Ripon on the A1, making their way north in the squally weather, including 2 hardy souls in a 1935 Ford Cabriolet,

Spotted a Diesel Mini in Northallerton sporting a couple of PH smileys yesterday.

...then I believe I saw the couple with the black TVR Tuscan and Chocolate Labrador in pets at home shortly afterwards!

Wow a Spyker, a rare sight! I too saw a couple of Flying Scotsman vintages up on Sutton Bank yesterday.

Saw a couple of vintage cars on some hilly unclassified roads above Pocklington yesterday, with some course markers. Must've been the same thing.

Lovely early light blue 911 or was it a 912? Just about to drop into our very own mini eau rouge heading towards Dick Hudsons.

thumbup Aye, that would be me then, my first spotted! I'm so glad that there is now a Pets at Home in Northallerton, it saves me having to drive to Darlington. We do have a black TVR, but it's a Tamora the OH has wink

I never put 2 and 2 together than the mini would be yours redface Apologies for getting the model wrong wink TVRs aren't my speciality tongue out

You walked past me and my girfriend as she was admiring the bunnies, I said "I'm sure that's the cool dog from the TVR off the internet..." she just shook her head confused

I was worried she would be scaring the bunnies, but they didn't seem too bothered.

I just told Roo she was the "Cool dog from the TVR off the internet" and she didn't see as chuffed as she should be.

He saw me having a nose, so pulled over and I went past him and had another look, then he went buzzing off into the distance.

Saw a grey [991] 911 parked next to Kwik Fit on Blossom street this morning, looked pretty cool.

Also, an Addison Lee Ford Galaxy parked at the car park in York next to the railway bridge in the centre at about 5pm yesterday, don't often see them in York, must have been an expensive journey!
