Oh, and a rather cool but strange Datsun 280Z with a massive photo of a Sheikh in the rear window parked on Albion Street last night on Kuwaiti number plates. Seems quite a few Middle Eastern cars around at the mo - M5 parks around the corner most days and an AMG G-Wagon also seen both on ME plates.

I've noticed a few Middle Eastern cars recently.
Saw a black M5 on the Inner Ring Road last night and a matte grey C63 by the train station, but not seen the 280Z yet.
Keep seeing a bloke commuting in a red B-reg Nova around Tingley/Morley area, not seen a base spec one like it in years!

Weird you post that now Ben. I’m sat in Thor’s tipi having a pint and the black M5 has literally just passed me! Seems to be dumping it overnight a lot by the Nero around the corner from Albion Street so guessing he is a ME student and living in the Q residences on the headrow.

I would imagine so, I've seen it in town a few times myself.
I see the C63 most mornings too, usually parked by the train station.
Saw a lovely black 65 plate Exige heading up Pool Bank on Saturday morning.
Also a familiar plate from this thread - 2 TBC - on a new model 911 GT3 outside JCT - stunning car!

Spotted a car being tested looked like the new rolls Royce 4x4 in South Elmsall today, no idea why it was around here but it was a shock to see, in the camo wrap/pain that they have, couldn’t make out much of the lines but the car didn’t look too bad

Anyone else seen this today or know where it’s heading.

Saw a white Lexus LC500 parked behind the Met Hotel in Leeds yesterday, looked pretty nice.
Also seen a new model grey GT3, black AM Vanquish, orange R8 V10 and at least 4 different G63 AMG Mercs around Leeds in the last week or so, not bad for late November!

The nova guy is a mate who works in morley he has 2 and the b reg is his winter hack would you believe it’s known as the grandad.
He’s a massive nova fan his other has the 2.0 redtop in it and is his baby so parks it up for the winter.

Good stuff, nice to see one being used regularly.
There's also an early 80s Polo on the same route each day too.
Saw a yellow Lexus LC500 by the Drysalters Pub near Elland Road this afternoon, very nice!

Could be the same one I saw a few days ago? An LFA's little brother.

Saw it today when I was walking through the bottom end of Leeds centre. Last saw one at last year's FOS. Thought it looked nice then, looked very nice in bright yellow.
