    thanks, but nah same crappy point-n-chute kodak thingy. but what better subjects than half a dozen flawless classic exotics and some lucky rich lighting... the three F cars really do look good together, got footage of about 15 u-turns as once we lost the Porker boys we had no idea what end of the planet we were on. :rolleyes:

    Nice pics Ash, another nice bunch of cars turning up. I really like the black on black 996 GT3, the best colour combo for a Porsche for me. :)

    BTW, wouldn't some of these classics look great in the outback with Uluru as a backdrop. ;)

    It certainly looks great in the pics; it even has the Gurney bulge for additional headroom for the driver! Actually all the cars look like they are in A1 condition; from the pics your Dino looks like one of the best around. Good to see these cars being used, and thanks for sharing the pics with the rest of us.

    they are. the Lusso is just one of many in a collection so doesn't get used much, but otherwise considering these cars like to come out and play hard, they all really are in a condition that would compete for concours trophy on a worldwide scale.

    yeah no worries i was doing circlewerk in V8's and dirt-bikes in the outback before i had pubes, how much different can a Ferrari be from a HQ or Kwaka 250? think i got footage of the one time you broke loose... not sure if i was using lippy or handy at that time though :confused:

    A number of original GT40s had this modification made to them on account of Dan Gurney; he wouldn't fit inside the car with the door closed! Not all original GT40s had them, in fact the majority do not from what I've seen in the UK classic car mags. Nice to see one on a quality repro though; it certainly caught my eye!

    I've been toying with the idea of buying a 308GTB, but those pics really make me want to buy a 246GT...what an awesome looking car.

    Great morning shots ash, where do you guys head through? any nice pieces of un-nazified tarmac?

    The Eagle and gorge are still some of the best for the constant turns imo but would appreciate any tips for twisties (PM if you would like)
