That Cayman reminds me, the Lidl car park in Oulton rarely fails to come up with something interesting. This was last week. I guess the owner's called Elton. Interesting weather for it, definitely needs the 4WD! According to the DVLA, it is only currently doing 1800 miles a year (after doing 54,000 in the first three) so I guess it is usually a weekend car.

I was only in Leeds a few days this week but saw some decent spots especially considering the weather. Orange Evora on wellington st but not the usual one I see around - the was W** SRS.

A turquoise/Aqua R8 joining the a58 from Yorkshire post old site slip road. And a white brand new Rolls coupe in the same place being driven by a young chap.

Talking of which, anyone know where the new rolls Royce dealership is built?

The RR showroom will be on Geldard Rd. Perfect timing as we’ll hopefully be back in the Premiership by then!

Are they finishing it in 2025? hehe
In all seriousness I reckon Leeds have an outside chance of promotion, but they're too inconsistent IMO.

I've changed the plate so you might not spot me these days, spotted a red Triumph 2000 in Bingley last week looked mint but the driver looked cold!

JCT haven't had RR for years, only Bentley.

I can only live in hope that it’s much sooner than that!

Red Lexus LC500 outside the ITV building this afternoon. Lovely looking thing.

Sidenote - I see that the Kahn showroom is no more, it’s been replaced by AMT specialist cars who have a black McLaren 650S for sale amongst other things.

yes I noticed the new AMT showroom tonight too.
I was surprised to see Khan gone as I thought there was a never-ending market for tacky Range Rovers these days. hehe

Yeah AMT have been there a few weeks now. They are going great guns as a business in general and seems they have moved more from leasing/finance to straight sales. The fact they have taken a more visible premises from the site on Armley road suggests that they want more of the sales side.

White RR Wraith in Park Square this morning, not seen it before.
There is normally a white Bentley Bentayga in the same spot.

I am guessing that might have been the same one I spotted last week. Chap driving it looked the same bloke as the Bentayga (which I love takes a parking ticket every day as cheaper than paying the day rate!!).

Late entry for 2017 winner!

I've only ever seen one on the road and that was in Kensington. I did see Kahn's Veyron on the road between Ilkley and Otley before...

Rowan Atkinson's F1 perhaps given the colour?
A ridiculous spot given the time of year. smile
