A really early (M I think) Ford Mondeo - Saloon, 24V, Ghia... ! When was the last time you saw a Mk1 Mondeo on the road!
Well, that pips the XJ220 as spot of the year.

Trabant and a Wartburg crawling west on the M62 about this time yesterday morning near Selby. A mile or two further back a Huracan and Fezza steaming along in the fast lane. Talk about opposites...

Can't beat the random stuff like the Mondeo Ghia, probably more interesting than the 458s and Huracans to me. hehe
Bright orange Aston Martin DB11 on Tingley roundabout, this morning 8AM - a very sudden colour!

I keep seeing an old 190e (around Hollins hill area) all different colours looks badly hand painted, yellow wheel trims and massive wing on the back with an old guy in it, always makes me smile he smiles back as well.

Filled up next to that in yeadon a few months ago, the guy said he just did it for a laugh. I tried to buy the wing off him but he was having none of it

The mind boggles as to why you'd want wing though.

Was hoping he'd sell for less than the universal eBay ones as his had a nicer shape to it
