Yes, it's the only white M1 that's taxed and has an MOT in the UK.

There are three others, one orange, one a patterned silver AHG car and BMW UKs red car. There are a couple of others that drive around on trade plates, Munich Legends have a red one, Classic Heroes I believe have a blue one and there is a white one at Don Law Racing (used in the Mr JWW video).

Good to see it being used so much!
Not really seen much of note recently, but I've seen plenty of PHers:
- Gretsch Drummer on King Lane today
- Ash in the 675LT on the Ring Road, also today
- CRA1G's 6 series in Yeadon last week.

I've also been out and about in the Yellow Z3M Coupe and 840 Sport..

Spotted this beast in town. Shame it's left hand drive.

Hope you weren't heading down to the ring road. There had been a smash on the David lloyd junction and was backed up/backing up to sainsbury roundabout.

Orange 15 plate copper s in Costco just now

A red Mustang with a reg plate that read "Bullet" (ish) this morning near Saltaire.

Looked nice.

I've seen that giving it very large beans in Leeds. Sounds ridiculous.

Yesterday afternoon in Redbrick Mill shopping place a pearlescent white Aston Vanquish on a private plate but looked very new. This is now my all time favourite looking car, and as Clarkson said when talking about the Vantage, "wonderful, wonderful, wonderful". Right, off to get some Lottery tickets......

486BHP seen in Collingham this afternoon, about half 2 ish, I get the hype about F40s now

[Shnozz]

Ended up in convoy with a DB11 from Armley gyratory right the way along the M62 to Brighouse this evening about 4:45pm.

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.

The blue Huracan seems to now be a regular parked in Park Square. Also a nice 991 reg 2 TBC that seems to be another local in that area.

See 2TBC on the A65 near Horsforth and Rawdon quite often

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

Rolls Royce with an interesting reg in Dodworth today (WOM 3N).

[Zad]

A nice Nitrous Blue Mustang in York this evening. Remarkable for the lack of noise! I have got so used to them being V8 5.0 litre jobs, almost forgot they made the 2.3 turbo as well.

[bobbins]

Seen one of those Mustangs (same colour) on the Sherburn ring road a couple of times this week.

Cracking F-reg E-Type Coupe on Low Street, South Milford, just past 4pm yesterday. Looked great.

[v15ben]

Loads of classics and interesting stuff in the Dales this morning, but 2 stood out:
- Blue N-reg Esprit S4S by Jervaulx Abbey
- Black Mach 1 Mustang rumbling through Aysgarth

From the last week:
- Red Ferrari F12 (reg 12TC) on the M1 at Garforth
- White Alfa 4C on Boar Lane
- White G-reg Sierra XR4x4 on Gelderd Road; not seen one in years!
