O/T - Sure I saw an email from you last night but got drunk and cannot find it this morning! In answer (if I haven't already, she is a Lecturer in Nutrition, Physical Activity & Public Health at the School of Biomedical Sciences. Dani was one of the ones who got her in the door in fact (she did her masters and PhD at Leeds Uni too).

I didn't email, so that's probably why you couldn't find the email Not sure what you saw last night!

Ahh okay, I don't think I know her, although if she uses the gym I might recognise her. Dani is great, she was a great teacher and helped me a lot through my dissertation.

Talking of ladies (off topic), this aft, sat avin a cuppa at Tong garden centre. Heard a familiar voice at the next table. Rude to stare but managed a quiet shuftie. It was only Christa Ackroyd - ex local TV news person who disappeared suddenly.

Ok, back on topic, a pale blue Volvo 340 approaching Babes in the Wood from Soothill, Batley.

[giblet]

She disappeared due to her tax case

Crayon Grey 991.2 GT3 in East Bierley/Bradford this evening. Looked sensational.

Christa (aka Doris) Ackroyd now writes a weekly column in the Yorkshire Post. It is surprisingly good, very honest and open about what has happened.

Just seen on the a64 a dark grey Porsche gt4 stuck in heavy traffic on the opposite carriageway and about 5 mins later a nice white Gallardo (later spec lp560 I think) passing the bp and McDonald’s on his way to the very big queue)

Don't know about anyone else, but I think I'm getting very matter of fact about modern supercars around Leeds/Bradford recently.
I've now seen 5 Lamborghinis in the last week, plus a 458 Speciale, GT2RS, McLaren 720S, new Vanquish etc!

- Yellow Aventador SV + red Huracan + white R8 convoy, Stanningley Bypass at 3:30AM this morning!
- Yellow Huracan Roadster leaving Keighley around lunchtime.

I think I'll stick to posting the rare/interesting stuff from now on instead:
- Grey TVR Tuscan 2S in Skipton this morning.
- Brown Datsun 260Z in Thornbury, Bradford; I'm sure it's a PHer.
- About 50 Triumphs of various vintages from Heralds to TR8s around Settle too, must be a club event on.

I don’t see that many, I guess it depends on what part of Leeds you are in.

Spotted the same matte white and yellow strip Huracan from a few weeks ago, this time on Burley Rd this morning.

Wonderful spot in Batley later on in the morning, Gulf edition Morgan 3 Wheeler heading out of the Tesco car park.

White 635CSi in West Park yesterday evening. Nice to see it on the road for once, it always seems to be parked up for work at a garage I use in Headingley.

Saw what looked like a Yellow Lancia Montecarlo on the Ring Rd near Homebase this morning. Can’t be many of those about.

Haven't seen one on the road for many years,brings back memories of the Red one i had in my early 20's... The girls used to think it was a Ferrari.....! And i didn't enlighten them....

Lotus Exige 430 Cup and orange Mclaren convertible on the m1 today.

[ellroy]

Yellow MX5 still stickered up from the Le Mans run in Malton earlier and a Bond Bug for added weirdness.

Black Lexus ISF parked by Elland Road this afternoon; Giblet?

Yup, my first spot! I usually park in the mean side streets of Holbeck on matchdays but felt that this was a safer location.

Probably safer there than Holbeck.
There was a lovely dark blue '18 reg M3 a few cars down too.
Looks like it was a decent match as well.

Red McLaren 720s up past the airport this afternoon.
Then followed a Ferrari f12 in Horsforth

And then I think it’s intake lane, was a white mk1 escort pulled up at the side of the park

[giblet]

I used to park the 4C at the bottom of Lowfields. Always worried about it though.

Game was superb. If we keep this up then who knows what could happen!

I was out with that first Ferrari today on an SCD drive and one identical to the second, maybe the same car. Funnily enough I was at Jems for the first time this week. Cool place.

.... I was stuck in that traffic jam for over an hour though
