    Silver/grey 599 with after market exhaust. Sounded better than normal, but nothing too spesh.

    Yellow F355 spider. Looked and sounded wonderful.

    and the remarkable bit?

    A guy wearing casual shorts and a t-shirt standing upright on a surfboard using a single oar to row himself along the yarra. Remarkable enough, I would have thought, but on top of that, he had his dog sitting proudly at the front of this thing. Firstly, I was amazed that it floated and secondly I was amazed that both the man and his dog were completely dry. Clearly they'd been doing an excellent balancing job and both looked happy and relaxed.

    No pics...but imagine a Silver 599, a yellow F355 spider and a man with his dog on a surfboard.

    Asked this over on AE aswell, but what are the exotic sighting hot spots in Sydney? I'll be stopping over this Fri/Sat before flying to Europe.

    Luck of the draw :eek:

    I been to places which are supposedly "hot spots" and they are devoid of anything better than an AMG.

    You can start at William St where the Ferrari/Lambo dealers(a few hundred m from each other, plus AM around the corner) are located. Double Bay which is 5mins down the same road. Norton St usually gets Ferraris on the weekends. In the city George St is the main strip for happy laps and near/around the bridge I usually see exotics cruising about.

    Edit: You are more likely to find FULLY SIC cars cruising about at all these "hot spots" :p :eek:

    Just use Sydney to rest your eyes for all the spotting you're going to do in Europe

    Of the past 6 months I've spent 2 in Germany. Only spot was this in Frankfurt. OTher than Porkers at the Nurburgring of course. Actually when I head back in June might look at hiring one to do a few laps. :D

    Shame I can't reveal too much yet but lets just say I'm going there (Europe) specifically to photograph certain cars. :)

    Sounds awesome, look forward to hearing about it.

    I'm sure theres a legitimate reason but it sounds like a drag to add another 6 hours or so to your flight by departing from Sydney instead of Perth

    Saw a 360CS in Broadbeach on Saturday.

    definately the best looking modern Ferrari IMO.
