Saw what was probably the same VX200 near Brighouse. Exchanged a wave with the driver of a red 308 or 328 (I think) on Meltham Rd this afternoon.

A red 156 GTA Estate in the Shell petrol station on Hull Road yesterday afternoon, been a long time since I’ve seen one, still looks amazing.

Very dirty 62 plate 458 parked the bottom of kirkgate

Had a lovely YMB M3 parked next to me in the Costco Leeds car park this afternoon. Competition wheels looked nice but a pain in the arse to keep clean no doubt.

On Carlinghow Lane in Batley today, a pale green Nissan Prairie 1985 (ish) and a dark brown Reliant Kitten.
Amazing as both are used daily.

Were you the Alfa? That looked great. 'Twas me in the M3.

My first ever spotted!

Forgot I saw a 4C on Clifton Bridge early on Saturday morning, about 7:30

Yup, dropped in for a reasonably priced lunch. I think I've seen your car around before, the reg rings a bell.

That brings back memories.
I remember seeing a brown Reliant Kitten most days when my dad worked on Carlinghow Lane in the early 2000s - must be the same one!

A couple of older ones from me:
- Yellow Rover P6 3500 V8 in Menston last Sunday.
- Red R129 Merc 300SL by the White Rose, on a K plate IIRC.
- Dark Orange '98 Mini Cooper Sport at Tingley Roundabout today, looked pristine and even had the original Rover dealer sticker in the back window.

It appears that the garage across from my office had a XJ220 in there this morning, 2 digit numberplate on it. Lord knows what it was doing in Beeston!

306 Rallye in black past me on the M621 this afternoon. Maybe Mrs Chevron? (*** LOP)

[DMN]

Just remembered one from last Saturday; A GT40 bodyshell on a trailer on the A1079. I assume it was a replica.

Funny as you mention it, i saw a GT40 (which i assumed to be a replica) driving through Middleton on the Wolds (A614) towards the A1079 on Sunday. Looked an absolute peach. Wonder if it was the same one?

Yes - that was probably Mrs Chev on her way to the gym. People keep on giving her loads of thumbs-up at the moment. I wish values would follow general public appreciation!

It’s quite funny that I’m never spotted in my Exige or 911 and she’s spotted every other week in the Rallye! The 306 is such a great looking car still though - really stands out in modern traffic.

YMB M4 near Leeds Uni this lunchtime. Hat tip to the owner if you are on here, that was closer than I thought it would be
