    There was a red 355 at calder park on friday night.
    at first i thought it was tonys tt355.
    This one looked like it had 19 inch polished rims (the kind you see on done up imports) He didnt compete. Could have recently bought the car too due to the reg plate starting with TZ****

    I saw Jean Todt today at the GP being chauffeured around in a Maserati:

    Also saw the Ferraris in the paddock area: 750 Monza, 212 Barchetta, 250 GTO Recreation and Daytona. Unfortunately Gil and his F40s aren't there.

    Was looking at pics of a GT and it reminded me, I may of seen a brand new Ford GT(ie: new version of GT40, not a Falcon :p ) when I was driving down to Canberra. It looked new and the rear lights looked like the new model. It was about 25m away going in the opposite direction soo Im not 100% sure.

    holy ****, i saw that 275 again!! Got a better look of it this time, It looks like it used to be a Coupe, then the roof chopped to be a spyder, had some dodgey looking anti-roll bars i think.


    but i didnt have the camera with me again, and he was parked in a very dark driveway, with lights on, looked pretty sus. Cant believe i didnt have the camera with me, ****!

    That would give the transmission some grief, unless that has been upgraded too. I thought the reason they pinned it back to 1000Nm was because the drivetrain couldn't take it. It was a very light silvery baby blue.

    no, instead of spinning the driveshaft to propel it forward they found it more economical to just use the torque to move the planet backward.

    In the last couple of weeks, tons of ContiGT's and Maser 3200GT's in all different colors everywhere.

    Quite a few 360 spiders around Richmond and Chapel St.

    Red 360 Spider with no plates parked inside the Jam Factory carpark.

    Red 360 spider parked on Victoria Ave, with a bodykit on it that made it look like a ricer!

    Yellow Elise S2 on Chapel St.

    A stupid b1tch rear ended me on Sat night while I was stationary, so the car is at File Finish. When I took the car there, the yellow F50 was in there, including a navy 355 spider, a dark blue/black 550 and a red 328.

    Now, this is the spot - never seen one in real life before. While following the tow truck to File Finish on Monday, saw the dark grey McF1 being washed in its driveway! :)

    I know what you mean! I saw that McLaren on the road earlier this year. I couldn't believe my eyes! Although I've seen it at MM, and I saw one (the same car I think) at the Melbourne Motor Show back in the day, it's certainly something else when you actually see it being driven on the road, or in other real world situations (like being washed in the driveway! :D). Without doubt, my best spot, tied equally with following 360C's F50 (driven by Aircon) after Calder last year, although I'm not sure if that one counts as a spot or not! :)

    Yes, $22,500 damage to the body, mechanical quote is coming shortly. She was in a Range Rover and she hit so hard, she lost her front bumper, her radiator exploded and her lights shattered.

    My girl who was a passenger is in hospital with a slipped disk in her neck - she is immobilised. We were hit so hard our car was thrown forward 10 metres.

    I wanted to strangle that stupid b1tch in the RRover.

    I drove back past there on the way home, but the gates were closed, so I didnt' think it was the right thing to ring his doorbell.
