Mineral grey F80 M3 pulling out of the M & S retail park in Guiseley on Friday afternoon, the sound is unmistakable, not very nice but unmistakable.

Blue noble m12 I think with lemans decals in dodworth about 12:00 toady

New GT3 (991.2) in Calverley earlier today. Looked lovely although not sure about the silver/platinum alloys as think the darker option would have made it look better.

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?

Given the one I saw was just a shell, it would have been very impressive to get it road worthy that quickly.

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

That was me, first time i've seen a 4C in the wild.

It was also closer than i thought ha ha although i'm still running in so didn't open up fully.

Your car sounded ace!

I was being a red Mclaren (one of the new ones) yesterday heading into Otley. I really do like them! If I had the money and was in the market for a supercar my money would go to Mclaren over ferrari/porsche/lambo every time. Maybe it's a patriotic thing!

Cheers. It’s a tad asbo at higher revs but always amuses me.

In my defence the P Zeros aren’t great in the damp weather and I set off lightly

I used to have one, never heard it called Bugatti blue though.
Funnily enough I was a minty looking '05 Racing Blue 182 parked in Shadwell last night.
Also, a pristine white F-reg Escort XR3i down at M621 Jct 1 roundabout.

Yeah i didn't know the proper name for it but its the same shade that the old Bugatti's were usually painted in so thought it may help identify

Did it have a small brown mark on the rear bumper near the exhaust? If so I saw that in Beeston last week. Old timer behind the wheel, looked very clean!

It was probably the same one, definitely a 'vintage' driver at the wheel!

I've seen a few new models today:
- Grey and black Bentley GT Supersport (SNW 1) on Gelderd Road.
- Black Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo - basically the estate version - in Holbeck.
- Maroon Alfa Stelvio - the 4x4 version - in the city centre; properly ugly thing!

RR Wraith on or near park place in Leeds today and another spot of the automotive beauty that is the Subaru Tribeca in Eldwick, as well as a yellow Robin Reliant braving the bumpy road down from the Chevin Pub into Otley last night around 6pm.

Plus a nice black F80 M3 on Lady lane in Bingley today.

The Wraith will be Jason from Fullers on corner of Park Square I expect. JF number plate?

No it seem to spell "Craig" from what I saw dark blue or black with a sliver contrasting bonnet and roof IIRC.

[Shnozz]

Ah, not one I’ve seen before in that neck of the woods then.

Another new one to me yesterday was a turquoise Evora on the a58 just by the end of Wellington street on the flyover about 6pm.

Very interesting....... I'd love to know what the plate actually was......? i have " CRA 1G " on my White 640d M Sport Coupe and I'm Leeds based..... I know there are " CRA 1C " & " GRA 1G " knocking around,a photo would be great if you see it again....! Then i can show my wife my new car....
