A dealer supplied tiny plate, yet to be pulled over for it so it's all good. Were you in a YMB M4?

It's hard to write a spot when you're not quite sure what you've seen, but I keep seeing (3 times now) a matt black American classic, maybe a Plymouth Roadrunner but I've only seen it from a distance. Kirkstall Road heading towards town in a morning.
Whatever it is it makes my morning when I see it, sounds good too.

Close! YMB M3 you were heading along Queenswood drive heading to Spen lane.

I'm sure the plate is fine and suits the design of the car.

I also saw a white Citroen SM on the Chevin yesterday, now that is a rare spot.

I probably saw the same one on the A65 the other day, the day after seeing a new model NSX. Great to see both being driven.

Ah. Saw both a M3 and a M4 in YMB yesterday. I love the rear on both, aggressive looking cars. Really nice colour as well.

Yup! Had to nip into town. Glad I managed to find street parking, not looking forward to my first multi-storey car park trip in it.

Try the John Lewis car park - often spaces in the outdoor section and minimal ramps.

The Lidl / Dominos car park at Woodlesford gets more interesting by the week. No, really!

Today there was a 1983 Mercedes 240D in grey that seems to be there quite a lot, possibly a staff member. A hugely unattractive combo that just seemed to make it all the more interesting really. A classic shape. the sort of thing you could drive to pretty much any hotel in Europe and they wouldn't hesitate to open the door for you. Either because they thought you were old money, or more likely a taxi.

Parked next to us was a metallic dark blue 2009 Audi RS6 avant. Oh so very stealthy yet so tank like. So much want. Even if the MOT look-up says it has a leaking engine and shocks. Looks like it only does 3k a year too, but I'm not surprised with RS6 bills.

Then a new (16/17 not sure) Focus ST rocked up in a rather LOUD orange. Not the asbo one, the new metallic one.

Followed an e36 318is coupe yesterday up park road in Bingley, I think it belongs to a fellow PHer.

Can't be that many left.

A Mk1 MX5 flashed me past some parked cars on North Street this evening, going to be honest, seeing the lights pop up was great. ,

Gulfed up Aston Vantage v12 in York today. Same one as was on our campsite at LM back in June by the look of it.
