A C7 Corvette on the road out of Keighley towards Skipton today
And a Ferrari (red, the one that replaced the California.. Portofino??) In Skipton.
Close to my heart i saw a black Pirelli edition Mk5 GTI in Saltaire this week too. Only the fourth one I've seen including mine in 4 years since I got it.

Well I had my spot of 2020 today. Driving past the York Theatre Royal , one of those invalid carriages from the 70s, being 26 I honestly can't say I've seen one before.
They were all government owned, and should have been scrapped when they were pulled from circulation. Motability more or less took over. Some survived though. Check out HubNut's videos for many Invacar adventures.https://youtu.be/opRn3m2q3cU?t=782

Thanks, Hubnut is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, I think his ‘Tuc’ is the reason I knew what it was. https://youtu.be/opRn3m2q3cU?t=782

I didn’t however knew they should have been scrapped. Glad some slipped through, quite an interesting thing to see today.
I do wonder if the Vauxhall Mokka and Ford Kuga (they seem to be the Motability cars of 2020) will be quite as interesting in 40 years. If they live that long, I think they could mechanically but the electronics wouldn’t last that long. My 3 year old Astra on 80k miles still drives like new but some of the electronics are becoming slightly questionable.
Went off on a bit of a tangent there.

Might win an award for worst picture ever, but saw a Dodge Viper by York art gallery today, I’ve seen it about York before.
Thanks for the spot! I saw a couple of Porsches round York (orange Caymen near where you took the pic) and a yellow 720S Mclaren near Cliffords tower (I know the owner from car meets)
Here's a better pc of my car taken at the Viper meet in Germany last summer

It's always special to see it when you drive past, don't see many Vipers around.
I drove the Route 66 last year and didn't see a single Viper, I remember being surprised as I thought I'd see a few of them. I was hoping the see the current model while out there.
A yellow SEAT Leon Cupra (newer model) on the York North ring road this evening.
Admittedly not a remarkable spot in itself, but there was a very enjoyable yet responsible play on a couple of roundabouts followed by a flash of the lights and a thumbs up. Thanks chap (I think, it was dark
)
