Hi Tom, not that one mate. Don't recall it being on a personalised plate (or certainly not a short one). Can't remember in honesty, I was wred.

Spotted that scud rep in town this afternoon, near call lane shortly after 7. Looks worse in the flesh. Proportions are all wrong.

I keep seeing a noisy R8 around Harrogate. When I hear it I expect to see a lairy TVR or some American muscle car, it has that rumble.

Yesterday, a few old Jags on the A162 near South Milford and a belting primer-coloured late Rover 3500 SD1 on the A1 going north near the A64 junction.

Today, an X-reg Chim in Pontefract, a G-reg Sapphire Cossie on the A64 and an L-reg Escort Cossie going through Barkston Ash.

A red F430 flying up and down past the White Rose Centre in Leeds with a red original Mini in tow each time I saw (and heard) it. A California and a F430 Spider in the city centre around 2:30pm.

When I was down in Yorkshire I saw that probably 5 times, always being towed by the Disco

I did think he'd have his work cut out to stay with you

Beautiful car you have there though and great to hear one being driven properly, a rare treat.
