Saw a bright pink Kia Sportage on the M1 south around Leeds yesterday morning. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something more horrid in my life. I

I saw a white GR Yaris parked on that main long road between Tong and Batley today. Is spotting these like spotting a golf GTi now? I saw a black one at Rodley roundabout last week too.
I see them all the time. I saw 3 yesterday and 1 GTI

Spotted this on Twitter

The nearest gym to there is the Pure Gym behind the Corn Exchange isn't it? You'd think they'd be better off just parking on Crown St in a loading bay or just putting it in the car park and not buying a ticket.

I wonder if they were the same ones as we saw on the grass at the junction of the A171/A169 outside Whitby on Sunday? Somebody was peering into an engine bay...

Must be a nutcase to park a Ferrari on Kirkgate.
Many years ago a guy used to park a Ferrari 348 on a rough estate near where I lived. Noone ever touched it. I suspect it was bought with ill gotten gains and the types who'd trash a nice car knew not to mess with him.

It's a gaggle and I passed them in Ilkley ... when I say passed them, I mean I was travelling in the opposite direction smile

And to the bh who pulled out on me in Otley, please learn to look in both directions before you move your crappy black Land Rover st box out of a side street !

MOT expired 4th March 2021 according to the main government website. A check on the government MOT site shows it was tested today!!! so main site not updated yet. Obviously being driven to the test station then.

Trade insurance has to be updated by the customer so it should show.
