The 2017 Yorkshire Spotted Thread
Discussion
Spotted all sorts of nice and questionable metal out today on the way to and the way back from Harrogate. DB11 in Harrogate, looks nicer in the flesh. Caterham/Westfield with a full cage making progress around Harrogate. Loads of stanced stuff near Harewood and a very clean Evo 9 near there too.

The Ripon event, maybe? A cluster of TVRs on the A659 sounded lovely.

'Sports cars in the park' Newby Hall today.
That explains most of the spots then. I'm guessing the stanced stuff was at Fuelled Society. Somehow I managed to miss out on both events and ended up at the BBC Good Food Show in Harrogate. Spotted a similar spec Evo to mine in Kirkstall yesterday. That explains why I've had a few mates say they spotted me about in places where I wasn't.

That's me alright! Thanks for the spot, good to see an actual 'on the road' picture
Still have fond memories of following behind you on an early morning drive out a few years back. The presence your Viper has is mental. v15ben said:
I think I might have seen Giblet in the Evo (or one of the doppelgangers) a few times around Wortley/Armley and saw Olly in the M4 by the Town Hall earlier this week.
Doppelganger I think. Ended up alongside him on Regent Street tonight. OddJ6MYU said:
486BHP seen in Collingham this afternoon, about half 2 ish, I get the hype about F40s now
Believe the hype. There is something special about spotting an F40 in the flesh, even more so if it's on the move. Seen a handful in Leeds over the years and they always make me feel like a little kid. There was a chap who lived a few miles away from me who owned one along with a few other toys. Not seen him around for a while sadly.

I've only seen one on the road, it was about 15 years ago around hipperholme/balif bridge but i still remember it!
I had a red (with gold wheels) large scale model as a child and i've loved them since then
Seen quite a lot at shows and a handful on the road. Was lucky enough to have a passenger ride in one a few years back before the charity supercar day that a fellow PH'er organised was shut down. The owner was a top bloke and the car was bonkers. I had a red (with gold wheels) large scale model as a child and i've loved them since then
Had a white RS6 thunder past me near West Park a short while ago, now I want a V8 again.
It was the 60th Anniversary day at Silverstone for me when I overdosed on them. 70th this year, wonder if they will have a similar event on.
I seem to spot an RS6 or two regularly, you are right about them being common given the price tag. I wonder if there was a cheap lease deal going round. I was lowering the tone on St Pauls street at lunchtime today in my sheddy Rover 216. Sadly there wasn't any exotica parked up.
