Orange TVR going into Escrick yesterday some time after 4 yesterday.

Then I saw a black SLS by the Barbican in York in desperate need of a clean.

Um, it lives locally as it drives past me most evenings as I walk home from east Garforth train station. Sounds great even at low speeds.

I see it on Aberford Road about 6 most evenings when we take the dog for his last walk.. Lovely.

Spotted strangehighways in his newly acquired black GTV on the A64 last week. I was in the white Giulietta, if you were wondering who was beeping.

[Scooby P1]

Spotted about 2 dozen Focus RS's in convoy and in their 3 colours...bright green, blue and white. Plus a red one.

Very unusual sight going through a tiny village near Bedale, N Yorks!

So many of them in a row in the pis*ing rain! Great to see.

A red Morgan, top down, by Menwith Hill on the A59 about half 12 today.

Red 52 plate Mustang on the M62 at Ferrybridge then southbound on the A1 as far as Redhouse, where I came off. Looked really nice.

Guilty! It was the Focusrsoc.com annual run over the buttertubs to Tanhill.

46 in total.

That's the one! I would've given a wave, but was travelling incognito in the Mrs' C4 grand pic.

There is currently an Alpine Roadster S parked up in my gym carpark in Chapen Allerton. Never heard of these before so a bit of research tell me it's got the 3.4l straight six from the previous generation (to the z4) M3 engine with around 300bhp. Interesting car.

Sorry? Should we have rocked up to a layby or petrol station with 40+ cars and hope there was space? The RS forum have used this carpark for atleast 3 years as the start point for heading up to Buttertubs, and always worked when I've gone...

[DannyScene]

Ummm I think marshalla's post was heavily tongue in cheek, thats how I read it anyway.
There's something in there about halfords being the natural home of the rs but I can't be arsed looking haha

[Logbert]
