The 2016 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[v15ben]

- Light blue Aventador on Ossett bypass this evening.
- White Alfa 4C on the M621 about 30 mins ago.
- Best of all, a white '69 Mini Cooper with roll cage and loud exhaust flying up Whitehall Road; looked a lot of fun!

Fiat 124 spider in Earlsheaton and a Merc 420 SEL at Mirfield Lidl.

A Ginetta G40 on Eastholme Drive this afternoon. Had livery on the side which I'm sure was to do with clockwork, I cant quite remember so it may have been something completely different.

That was me. Clockwork is my sponsor. The company is an Apple service provider based in Leeds.

Awesome convoy going down pool bank yesterday
2 Rolls Royces followed by a convoy of RS audis and M BMWs all with white ribbons and flashing hazard lights
I suspect some or all were hire cars but
made a nice sight/noise

I find those chaved up wedding convoys faintly ridiculous.

Why?
It's a day of great celebration in a couples life, if they and friends/family are into cars and want to hire some nice ones to drive sensibly to help celebrate the day I really don't see an issue

Talking of Ginettas, I'm always amazed how few I see around here. It must be like living in Blackpool in 1987 and seeing 2 TVRs a year!

KITT complete with strobe lighting on Bradford Road, Batley Monday morning.

Never been "spotted" in mine. Bright yellow G40.

I live around the corner from the Factory and hardly ever see them.


I did see a Farboud GTS/ Ginetta F400 once, which I presume was Lawrence himself as I remember the plate being quite a small one.

Black Cayman 8 EA on the M62 this evening.

Try being behind one while they take up both lanes driving at 50mph in a NSL dual carriageway flashing their hazards like some kind of half assed motorcade...

Driving sensibly? I witnessed a white LWB Rolls driving down the middle of the road (hollins hill) with their hazards flashing making a "new" lane for themselves the other week, got a Rolls for the day init...

White 4C in town this lunchtime. Grey V12 Vantage on Dewsbury Rd yesterday morning.

As for wedding cars, my mate had ribbons on his well used Defender for his wedding recently. Now that's way cooler than a Rolls.

That does sound ridiculous but if driven in the way I witnessed I see nothing wrong with it at all

Indeed. Driving without due consideration for other road users.

Followed a nice 599 Fezza back from Pudsey area on the ring road back to Leeds centre (and then down off to the TGI's roundabout) last night about 8pm.

[ellroy]

A black 911 Turbo s driving like a proper cocksocket on the motorway into Hull this morning.

You are one of the reasons people think all Porsche drivers are tts.

[Waitey]

Red Ferrari 488

Reg 3 PB

Is that the Paul Bailey Fella?

On the way into Friday Thorpe overtaking most stuff in the wet. Impressive.

[Zad]

A red Mustang V8/GT convertible with a non-standard (but puzzlingly recent/cheap) plate going through Stanley this afternoon. DVLA says it was registered back in February, so it must have been one of the first UK ones.
