That's a proper unicorn! I saw an A reg Maestro in Headingley recently too.

Interesting pair today; yellow Porsche 968 Club Sport (F14 CUP) flew past me on the M1 at Garforth and I also saw a red 968 Convertible by the Royal Armouries.

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.
That will have been Matt Wright's car. He is from York. He had it stickered up for his trip to Le mans earlier this year.

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. ,
I've got the street wrong, was actually Toft Green.

A couple of British classics today.
- Olive Green 70s Range Rover 2dr with a lovely sounding V8 on Whitehall Road.
- Red TVR 3000S burbling along by Toby Carvery in Morley.

There is a nardo RS6 that parks most days on St Pauls Street.

Every time I pass it I am tempted to have mine wrapped in nardo. Looks so good.

Probably the Porsche Festival at Lotherton Hall. Over 400 cars apparently.

Ooh might pop up weather depending, my better half grew up in Royston so we tend to do norton bonfire and other bits around the area.

Maybe we should arrange a barnsleyish meet up.
Did you end up at the show? It was pretty good! Made a few car pals - turns out there are some proper enthusiasts in the village. We could do a meet at the New Inn in Walton? Chap who owns it is a massive petrolhead...

Quite common around here, was it during opening hours or after? If it was office hours you may have seen my Megane in the car park.
