Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[Burgmeister]

Blue VX220 with a PH smiley filling up yesterday morning at the BP in Moortown, Leeds.

I was in the cream Cooper S waiting for a jet wash bay.

Matte white Huracan with a yellow stripe (possibly an Avio?) on Kirkstall Road Saturday lunchtime.

Silver Clio V6 on Cardigan Road this morning, same one that a few of us have spotted over the last year or so.

[Beejayhay]

I pass Topcoat bodyshop in Halifax en route to work and often some nice machinery sat outside - all manner of Porsches etc, a nice Merc GTS last week.

This morning was a older green 911 which has been there for a few days, but next to it a black minted E-reg Sierra Cosworth. 3 door, whale tail spoiler...the works

- Purple Aston Martin DB6 in Harewood village this evening.
- W1LEY and 5Y on their respective black Ferraris, both in Shadwell.
- Pristine E-reg Capri Brooklands by JCT Ferrari, this morning.

[99RON99]

That Capri, has got to be the same one I saw a couple of weeks ago on the same stretch of road. It is absolutely immaculate. Guy with glasses on driving, I gave him a thumbs up, and he nodded and did the same. One with just 900 miles on sold for £54,000

[99RON99]

Yep a crazy amount. Here’s the story

V8 APS, grey V8 vantage seen again around Barnsley, obviously local even if not on here.

[Shnozz]

There was a grey Vantage roadster pulling onto the A58 from Wellington Street last week. First time I had seen it.

Yesterday the Tron style Maserati with the Weapon number plate on Albion Street.

I also wonder if the owner of the 1990's Maserati Ghibli that parks outside Investec is a PHer. Very cool car and see it often whilst frequenting the Boat House.

Green Noble M12 round the back of Leeds train station this morning with a blue M2 following behind it.

[DannyScene]

Spoke to a part time PHer at work the other day, he had a stunning metallic green TVR Vixen

I'd never seen or heard of one before but this one was gorgeous!

I'll try work out how to post pics from mobile

[richatnort]

Spotted yesterday by pudsey roundabout.

Red Aventador SV filling up at JCT Sainsbury's Rawdon this afternoon. Bloody loud, too loud for pottering really. Very dramatic.

I don't like putting supermarket* fuel in my Nissan, never mind in an SV...

Sainsburys do a premium octane fuel

Only 97 though, and I've not heard particularly good stories about it (or BP). Wouldn't want anything but the best if it was going in my Lambo.

I’ve seen flash cars filling up at Morrisons before. Hell I even ran my XJR on Morrisons fuel years ago(granted a supercharged V8 isn’t the same as a highly strung V12).

I always find this hilarious on PH. What is about Tesco fuel that every one loves so much!! Honestly I think it's just PH hype.

Manual probably states anything 97 or above is sufficient, but I'd just want the most performance (power and mpg) and protection possible for something so expensive. If you can afford, I don't see much reason not to use 99, though I guess if it's a new car and you're only keeping it for a year, it makes bugger all difference.

It just seems to perform very well (official and unofficial tests) and for a relatively low price.

Can you show me any?

My car drives better after I've cleaned and vac'd it.
