Saw a Volvo 480, with it's pop up lights up, at about 8 this morning on the back road between Haxby and Shipton, always loved them, even as a child they always caught my eye.

And again, this time going through Haxby at about 2:30 this afternoon, pops up were down this time though.

Yellow Integrale coming down Tadcaster Road in York at lunch with the plate "I RUB" (I think). Caught it out the corner of my eye whilst watching the dog do a poo

With this road salt

Must add that driver to the bravery thread.

30 odd years ago that plate belonged to a Car Dealer who had it on a White 911 Turbo with Martini Strips and had it cleverly displayed as ' 1 ROB ' funny how things stick in your mind but I can still picture clearly even now....

Wonder if it was the guy who owned jubilee motors on sticker lane, latterly Moor Park Garage on Killinghall Road Bradford? Always used to see the exact same car there can’t remember the registration though.

Not my spot but sadly a green 992 GT3 Touring imbedded in a wall just outside Harrogate yesterday, driver appeared fine

E63 AMG on the A1 south just after the Aberford spilt. Not sure of the correct Mercedes model code but it was the 5.5ltr one. Sounded lovely as it accelerated past. Had a private BMX plate so for a minute thought it might be Mat Armstrong but I doubt it was.

Then a black Rolls Royce Wraith going at a fair rate at the A63 turn. No my cup of tea but no denying an amazing car with amazing road presence.

Spotted just outside Marsden. Excuse the rubbish pic I was too slow to get phone out. Probably a rep but who cares? It sounded awesome too

A yellow Cerb (I think) was a sight to gladden the heart this morning. It was turning off Gillygate in York this morning about 7:45.

Followed shortly by a spot of a much less glamorous but equally unusual Citroen C6 parked on Bootham Terrace.

I saw the/a C6 parked there a week or two back, I thought it must have been a hotel guest, but maybe another local interesting car.

I must have just missed the yellow Cerb (and you), I was walking down Gillygate away from York at about 7:40.

A Super Minx? Morley.

I was in stealth mode (pushbike)
The Cerb was turning left onto exhibition square - one of those “sounds interesting- is interesting!” moments!
The C6 is a regular there, but I haven’t worked out if they’re a regular visitor with a preferred hotel, or someone that lives down there but works away a lot. Always nice to see though!
I saw the Austin 7 again a few weeks ago as well in the middle of the cold snap - brave soul.

I saw a C6 in York the other day but can't recall where it was I saw it - might have been the same one but not been over Bootham side of town for a bit.

I've seen a yellow one around there before, but not so early on a Monday morning, would have brightened my morning up too I think, I was walking with my headphones on, so whether I'd have heard it is uncertain.

I saw the Austin 7 in the Bootham traffic one evening a few weeks back, I think before the cold snap, but still cold enough to think him as being brave.
