The 2017 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[Lhasa]

2006 Dodge Viper spotted on A1079 tonight.

[Lhasa]

More of a 'heard' than 'spotted, but there was a Red Jaguar F-Type giving it the beans this morning on the opposite side of the road on the A1079 section of the bit of dual carriage.

I had the windows shut and music on AND I still heard it!! PHHHAWWRPP!!

Blue Huracan in Leeds centre Saturday.

That followed me up King Street the other day, best looking Huracan I've seen.

Not been on PH for a while, but seen plenty of nice kit around recently:
- Red Ferrari 488 Spider on the M621 heading out of Leeds
- Silver McLaren 540C, doors up, parked in Drighlington
- '64 Austin Mini Cooper S (Monte Carlo Rally replica) in Wortley
- Dark blue 80s Corniche driven by an older chap passing the White Rose
- Mad, loud and heavily modified TVR V8S on Armley Gyratory

- 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.

It does look really nice in that colour. Would always have said a Lambo would have to be in a lairy colour but it looks classy in that blue.

Assumed he wasn't local as he was dithering about in town, caused us to miss the traffic lights on the headrow as he just sat there and then at the last minute decided to swing down the "access only" road linking down to St Paul's Street.

Gratuitous photo

Saw a green Huracan at the BP garage at poppleton, too embarrassed to take a proper photo so here is one through the mirror.


It has a green number plate reading hell yea and stickers saying hell yeah on the car itself.

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.

Doppelganger I think. Ended up alongside him on Regent Street tonight. Odd

I passed the Huracan on the A59. My Mum said she saw an orange one by Knaresborough too.

[DannyScene]

The Blue Viper and the Green Huracan were both at cars in the park last week amongst some very tasty metal

Also spotted 2 cars with smileys

A white Mini Countryman which I also spotted later in the day in Guiseley and a yellow E92 M3

Yeah, a fun mornings drive, I'd only had it a few weeks back then (June 2015) and almost lost the back end a few times

Not the best car for those twisty narrow wet roads Couldn't keep up with the Elise in front and couldn't lose you in the VR4 behind.

One of your pics from that morning

Could be the other half of the "Hell yeah" rally setup, both have matching plates and graphics.

Lots of stuff about yesterday with the SCD meet at Sheffield and the Custom Yank/Northern Retro meet in Leeds. Everything from F430s to Impalas. Main reason to post was to thank the silver Monaro VXR for letting me park up, same I chap I think I see regularly in Wakefield. I was in a black RX7.

Saw a black Mclaren 540c (probably, not sure on Mclarens) with gold wheels on the A1237 near Clifton Moor.

Orange Aventador would be my friend Josh, he'll have been with the owner of the 458.
