Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[Beejayhay]

Just been driving behind a tiny Ford Anglia with huge rear tyres and a ‘5 litre V8’ badge on back lol....sounded epic. Fairly old guy driving it and gave it some beans now and again was in Halifax down past Sibden Park and towards Northowram

Ford Transit MS-RT R-SPEC In Black, Cooper Bridge roundabout today 05/07/18 around 13.10. I really do like the R-Spec. I wouldn't mind one myself. Anyone off here?

As previous, it’s our friend with the SV so H know it isn’t that... I’m half doubting him, but it’s orobably jealousy as not seen one out in the wild yet. Must spend more time sat outside the coffee shop in Rawdon

My bad I meant my mate is probably getting confused

He has a passing interest in cars but not enough I wager to differentiate between a laf and an SV at a passing glance

I was behind van advertising York Vintage Wedding Car Hire this morning at about 7:30 as it joined the York North ring road.
Had a PH smiley on the rear plate which began 'Y4.'
Anyone on here?

I spotted the same two driving up to Summer Bridge on the B6451 as me and 2 others were going the other way. I have to admit it's a great stretch of road round there to go driving on.

How? Let me guess, driver (elderly in this case) hits wrong pedal. Panics. Hits wrong pedal even harder, applies lock to miss something. Hits sturdy object at speed, car rides up and flips onto its side / roof? When the vehicle is powerful and high traction it will tend to magnify the error. I have to say, in that pic, Jack looks somewhat older than 83!

Not a car but a Lancaster bomber flew a very low pass over my house on Sunday I think it was for the East Morton or Eldwick gala.

Quite a sight!

Flew over mine on Saturday about 14:55, sat waiting the match to start and heard the rumble, looked out and it was pretty much clipping the trees directly above my house!

Ah must have been Saturday that I saw it as well, can't be many Lancaster bombers flying around I guess it's the same one.

It flew over my house too, there was a 1940s weekend in the village and it did a flyby for them.

White Cayman (might have been a GT4 - certainly a wing on the back) that gave it some serious beans in the opposite direction to me by Golden Acre park heading towards Bramhope last night. As soon as I had passed the other way he was straight out to overtaken and was off!

Black H-reg BMW 635CSi by White Rose this afternoon - in great nick, but I never realised they sold them into the 90s.
