I went down a bit of a Lexus SC430 wormhole yesterday after seeing a rather gold one nearby on Autotrader, then tonight a silver one was burbling around the roundabout at Junction 28 of the M62, I haven't seen one for ages.

Not seen one in a long time but always had something of a soft spot for them. In a similar vein saw an LC500 for the first time in a while in a stunning metallic red parked outside Sainsbury's Monks Cross. I think the LC is a stunning looking car and still really futuristic looking, despite this one being 8 years old! 
Was in Sheffield today, and saw a car (actually saw 3 of them) I've never seen before despite being around for a few years, and that car is the Citroen Ami, fascinating little things, I wouldn't personally want one, but I strangely love them.
Side note, I don't like driving in Sheffield, very steep and very congested, did not enjoy. And the trip back to York on the M1 in ridiculously heavy rain was one of the more unpleasant drives of my life, one of the few times I've felt nervous driving. I'll add a spot, G63 AMG around Wakefield, I could really feel the standing water while going 55-60 like most drivers, G wagon was going at least 80, with tons of standing water and near zero visibility due to the rain.

A Ferrari 348 in Bingley today, lovely looking thing. I might actually prefer them to the 355 - unpopular opinion I know and based on looks alone.
I was driving towards Bingley at lunch time today when a vision of a 348 came into my mind's eye. Didn't actually see one though. Back when they were new a couple of local people had them for a few years, but I've not seen one around here since then.Forgot on Saturday in the horrific rain there was Mk1 Escort broken down with a recovery van on one of the M1 slip roads heading south around Wakefield. Visibility was poor and I was heavily concentrating on the road ahead, but I thought it looked like one of the more special models, but could be wrong.

The "LFA" 'plate made me a bit queasy but a nice thing to see amongst a sea of dullness.
