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.
I kind of OD'ed on F40's attending the 2012 Silverstone classic when there were hundreds of them parked up. Great car mind.
As for the RS6, seem to be a huge number of these in and around Leeds at the minute. For a £100k car they are very common. Saw one parked in Chapeltown on Saturday and there is a regular in Nardo grey that parks on St Paul's street. Liked the black one for its subtlety but have to say nardo is the colour..

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.

Will look out on St Pauls. Usually passing through there on a daily basis.

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.

Yellow Porsche 914 driving through Bramley this morning, don't see many of them around.
The owner posted on Northern Retro, was out for an MOT apparently.A few rare ones from this week:
- White Gallardo SL on the A1M at Wetherby.
- Flip-paint silver TVR Tuscan S parked by Leeds station.
- Matt black rat-look Ford Galaxie 500 on Armley Gyratory.
My personal favourite though and even more of a unicorn than the thread favourite Montego:
- British Racing Green MG Metro in Tingley; looked pristine and even had all the original, massive MG decals on the side too!

The white SL, was it the one in my profile? If it was it's a 50th Anniversary so looks like an SL and my first ever spotted! A few rare ones from this week:

Spotted today a red 1960s mustang coming from Borobridge through Knaresborough and into Harrogate. Sounded awesome. If your on here it was me behind you in the White Gallardo. Thought the noise we both made sound fantastic.
Oh and last weekend 2 jag e-types ( a convertible and a coupe)at Helmsley they looked lovely and the chaps that owned them I had a lovely chat with.. Also a MG (very old one, MGA?) also at Helmsley.

Never you mind: It looks like it was you in the Gallardo - stunning car.
Wills: There's another YMB M3 on Park Square in Leeds everyday, 17 plate with some nice wheels on it, they're breeding!
Saw a nice maroon Jensen Interceptor outside a garage in Butchers Hill earlier in the week too.

A V10 N/A engine these days is STILL something special.Never you mind said:

That is a brilliant offer, the power of PH! A V10 N/A engine these days is STILL something special.On a white Lamborghini theme, I saw not one but two in Armley last night.
- White Murcielago LP640, reg O L05ERS by the prison, then 2 mins later...
- White 17 reg Aventador SV Roadster by Armley Mills.
Absolutely the last thing I expected when I nipped to Tesco for some milk on a Sunday night!
