The couple of times I’ve had to avoid the M6 on my commute, Quatt is on my alternative route home. Shame this COVID prevents meeting up.

Just been in Booths today in Ripon (on the sunny side of the hills). Grabbed some grub after watching sunrise at Brigham rocks and walking around Fewston reservoir.

Great supermarket.
Aye. We're lucky enough to be near the southern extents of their patch. Great supermarket.

The farm shop at Quatt also does a particularly great howler sausage roll 8-)

Library pic, but a Taycan entering the Asda car park as I was leaving - same colour scheme and wheels.

It was VERY noticeable and looked pretty wide.

I wonder if it’s the same one I saw at my local supermarket. Thought it looked good if very large.

I saw one today too, coincidentally, in a rather cool eggshell blue shade. Looked rather smart tbh. Wide and low too.

Weird. I parked next to one today at Booths supermarket. Grey on grey Turbo. Didn't seem that huge to me but certainly wide

Renault avantime.

Looked filthy and well used. Can’t be many in daily use can there?

Hmm, howmanyleft shows about 160 licensed, not quite as rare as I was expecting.

First one that I’ve seen on the road. I can’t imagine it improves with age.

599GTO driving through Bridgnorth.

It sounded like an Essex chav screaming into a 40 gallon drum full of loosely mounted tin cans.

A blarey embarrassment of a noise so I’m guessing it had cats removed or a cheap nasty exhaust.

Looked very very cool mind you.

Followed a Turbo today in a flat grey colour and it looked like a fairly flabby piece of work, albeit made quite a cool whooshing noise away from the lights.

I cant really describe how dissapoint I am that they called it a Turbo. I hope every Engineer in Porsche spent at least one full morning throwing up due to this travesty.

If it helps, I did roll down the window and shout ‘where’s your turbos hen?!’ at the driver. I think that might be why it made such a whooshing noise away from the lights.

Fake whooshing noises are like spoken dokeys on a middle aged mans bike.

Saw my first Cerbera in about 10 years this morning. It was on a trailer (naturally) but looked pretty damn stunning in a shimmery racing green colour.
Cheers,

Don’t seem to see any TVRs at all lately.

I love the Cerbera. Back in the day I used to think they were a big car. They look tiny now.

Didn't get a picture unfortunately, but a tarted up Mazda5 with dash cam stickers on every window and a tailpipe tip with a ring of red lights in it.

The tailpipe light looked rubbish and was far brighter than the rear lights. What's the point?

Spotted: Richard Hammond. He pulled up behind me, window of his Land Rover down and stuck his head out for a chat.

I’d just nipped down to Apperley to see how far the floodwater reached, but he was planning to go through it. We chatted for a couple of mins before a tractor went through so he went for it. And I videoed the first bit:
