The Phantom drophead on the left looks like it's owned by the chaps being the Abu Bakr supermarket. Makes sense given it's parked outside a branch.

That makes sense.
I saw the Phantom again by the Merrion Centre last night, bloody imposing things!
Also a red M635CSi in Wortley and a pristine white Escort RS1600i in Lofthouse earlier in the week.

Spotted a white Exige V6 R this morning in Headingley, looked menacing especially with the giant rear wing.

Think the same huge winged lotus ( **** CVA) was behind me on the ring road yesterday. Pulled in sharpish so he had some clear road to boot it.

Loads of older VW camper vans on the M62 today, presumably an event on somewhere?
Saw the often spotted silver Camaro with green stripes on the '62 near Cas Vegas too; stunning motor!

Yeah I saw a Beetle and about half a dozen Combis chugging along eastbound between Selby and Howden about 1230, about the same time I was overtaken by a red RS7 with a private plate.

Lotus Elan going through Howden yesterday evening, roof down and with an A4 glued to its backside.

He's called Dale, follow him on Instagram. He owns a white McLaren 650S, too.

Believe so, yes. Think he's got a new Focus RS too.

Ah. He came to the dyno day a while back with a classic Impreza. Nice upgrade!

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.

Oops. My first spot. Was on the way to Lotherton Hall for the Yorkshire Porsche Festival.

Rare I see something noteworthy but spotted a first for me in the form of a beige Scimitar Coupe on friday, seen plenty of the usual Scimitar with typical flat rear window but never a coupe. In Doncaster just near the Dome, looked like they were going shopping!

Similar to this:

though more of a beige, very pretty little car.

Overtaken on the m1 earlier by a black fiat panda 100hp with a. Roof box and a Nurburgring sticker on the boot.

Anyone?

[Killer2005]

Black Gallardo, blue R34 Skyline and a green A45 AMG at Birstall showcase last night.

I thought you might have been headed there. Car looks great! White McLaren 570S on Gelderd Road, red Ferrari California T at Brymor Ice Cream Parlour and a silver BMW M Coupe Breadvan at Tesco Roundhay; all today. Also saw a bloke cycling down the M621 hard shoulder yesterday!

I know there's a chap in Rodley who ones one along with an X5 but not sure if it's him.
