    Nah, it wasn't Select. Was an alphanumeral. The car was sitting next to me but my lane started moving before I could whip out my phone, so I got the mirror shot instead.

    The quality wash (done this Monday) is courtesy of the Volvo dealership here...

    Sadly I no longer have access to the cleaning equipment I used at BMW.

    I saw the Select one today on Fullarton Road - damn camera's gone missing - and you wouldn't mistake that for the real thing. Replica it isn't - rough facsimile perhaps.

    Hmm, what are the chances of us both seeing two different red Countach's on the road in the same day?

    Perhaps the one I saw was Select... :confused:

    EXCELLENT DAY TODAY :D

    I was down in richmond/cremorne today at the Mag Wheel Centre, so I just happened to see nearby ( ;) ) a couple of F40s, a racing 360 etc etc (I know, it's not on the road so it doesn't count, but dammit they made my morning)

    Saw a nice looking black 512TR on the corner of Swan and Punt (gotta hang around Richmond more often)

    And on my way home tonight on Hoddle I saw AGAIN the red 360 "Rick23"

    Lamborghini Diablo 6.0!!!!!!!!! :eek:

    I've known about this car but never seen it on the street before. I was sitting at the lights in Cottesloe and it went past, in the opposite direction. So eventually I managed a u-turn and looked for it, but no luck.

    About 45mins later I was back home and I did a quick check of a local "hotspot" for exotics and there it was. :) The guy has good taste - having lunch in South Perth. :p

    Wonder if he saw me taking about 20 photos? :D

    yep you're right, some sort of light purple. It also seems to change significantly with the light, would be interesting to know exactly what it is.
