Kiwi Spotters Thread!

The 355's a handsome car, I think if looks good after all these years will continue to look good for long time to come.

The 430 and now of course the 458 Italia seems to have struck a chord with everyone around the world in welcome return to good, almost agressive, looks after the tad-too-soft 360.

Have you used online configurator for 458 yet? The choices for interior colour combinations is almost too much and I find myself reverting back to classic simpler themes but nice to see what is possible in terms of extreme personal expression! (even if only to confirm you wouldn't dare do it lol)

 

LOL!! Yep, I had a play on the configurator last week, only dreaming of course....it's a good way to kill time!! I really liked White ext with dark brown over crema interior, had a "class" about it....

I think (hope?) 458 is a start of the return of the thinner looking cars, fine lines are making a come back.

 

Try find a 355 for sale... and for the last few months for that matter. They have all been snapped up.

 

Yep, and plenty of 360's still avalable....speaks volumes really.


My car could be had if the right money was offered.....

 

I had a go in that V12 Vantage in CHCH last week. Lots of go and very nice in every way except the gear stick for some reason impossible for me to use which stopped me buying one of the 'baby' ones in the past. Quite a stunning machine though and the sound through the Lyttleton tunnel! Finally the car it ought to have been although it was nice to get back into my 997TT.

Cali launch here in CHCH tonight. I must say the Azzuro blue looks so much nicer than the black, could almost see myself in one........ but my wife would love it!

 

Don't forget to take the camera!!

 

Thanks to all for the update....I married a K1W1 and have "done" most of the Nth Island over the last 20 years...but still very much appreciate the update. Visited Southwards maybe 15 years ago...my travels knowledge is a bit dated and fractured.

Taupo...any one been to Portofino's?? for the venison sausage Pizza?

Coming over for 13 days-ish and really looking forward to the two race meetings and the tiki tour!

Cannot remember the desert road....that was 20 years ago...but maybe stop at Wairou for the MIL museum and briefly at Taihape to buy a University T shirt (joking!!

 

You stud you.

 

the engrish langridge can get you into trouble....as can fraternising with Kiwi women!!

I saw an E-Type yesterday. Man they are a small car. They don't seem to make small sports cars anymore like the that and 308 etc.
