    the colour is called Grigio Iris, its supposed to be a "lavender gold"

    looks more like metalic battleship grey with a purple pearl to me in person.

    the dude's name is Clarke Buttson, He does own an aeroplane company in Kalgoorlie, however he lives in Port Hedland (in a prety crappy looking house at that), i think his Garage looks nicer than his house.

    this is the car that hit a Kangaroo coming down from Port a couple of years ago.

    I say this with a touch of caution as there is a distinct lack of patronising smilies in your post.

    Have you ever seen a countach?

    i see the rex but not the datto ute challenge stradale

    how does he get away with that signage?

    ps they're not illegally parked, if you were hoping to see a lamborghini, then the ferraris are certainly entitled to be in a handicapped zone :p

    Funny thing happened - while sitting having brekkie with the cars parked properly a guy in a highly-modified V8 Falcon ute drove past slowly and admired the cars.

    It wasn't long before we realised it was Alf Barbagallo himself, we got a wave but he went and ate elsewhere. A shame he didn't turn up in the Superamerica or one of his other rides.

    he came along in his (real) Ferrari instead (308 with black wheels, front right on the grid). ;)

    He removed the prancing horses (and I Photoshopped them off the menu photos of mine that he used) so other than that apparently they shouldn't have any probs......no idea on the legalities personally.

He went over and took a few pics. He ABSOLUTLEY loved it! :D He was really excited when he was telling me today at work and asked why i didnt buy one like that ect.......ect......When i told him i know of the guy that owns it,it blew him away :p And i know it is Scuds,because he told me the car had an" F1 plate on it,it was low 'n' mean and it was red" :eek:
