Well the first Melbourne Motor Show since 2009 is in town next month.

Boy its going to be a show of Chinese Cars !

Sad that only Porshce and Mclaren NO Ferrari !!!!

Tesla will be there but will look like yesterday's hero compared to the Chinese offerings.

 

This guy could lose a few kgs..

Ozempic?

 

Thats for amateurs, the real stuff is Moungaro !

 

Good story on Gordon Murray on the Goodwood feed this morning - he and his cars starring at Festival of Speed this year...

Not just Nth Korea ........ Neralee got in the shjt from a South China steward for opening the window blind at Chengdu airport as it is next to the Chinese air force base where their latest fighters are based

It was unusual to hop on a plane with all of the blinds closed

 

Huh? I've been in Chengdu dozens of times (involved in the Fairmont hotel there) - never had an issue.

 

Last November, first time I've ever experienced that behaviour, they were VERY insistant

 

Some stunners at SH Concours:

And Ferrari did not get a pic

 

Love a Mistral Spyder! Facel is very tasty too.

 

Why would someone think their 100/4 is worth $30k-$50k more than the next because this dik had a ride in it,IMO it's been devalued by at least about the the same dosh:

For Patrick....it's what they look like out of the boxes and put together:

Nice, but I don't like S4's

 

"Minilite wheels" LOL. They're (much heavier) copies made in Adelaide.

 

Yes.. "Performance Superheavies". Last I checked, they had shut down and re-emerged as importers of made in China copies of copies.

 

Cheap(ish) C2 coupe:

Price is about right for a base model engine and drum brakes.

 

I just read the ad, “Ladies choice award” says so much about these cars.

 

It's $20K cheaper (on Carsales) than the next,including the night midnight blue one in Cairns,same spec.

Interestingly,for me!,the convertibles bring less bucks.
E types,and other coupe/convertable marques,the nillid brings a higher ask.....why is it so... TM Julius Sumner Miller

 

Because C2 convertables have too much scuttle shake.

 

Anyone know what this is ?

296 Special ?

Get ready to witness the digital reveal on April 29th.

 

got a pic ?

 

There is no picture just notice

On the app it has an engine sound reving then taking off with gear changing. My 488GTB sounds better I will say.

Maybe the 296 special ?

 

Have you heard a 355CH at 9300 change gears ?
