    The 360 is painted in a Porsche 993 colour (some shade of purple), apparently originally custom ordered by an Asian guy who never took delivery of the car.

    Breakfast at 10.45 am Vmax - you're wasting the best part of the day!
    A nice touch on the 360 - the paint label actually identifues it as a Porsche colour. Must be one of the few Ferraris with a Porsche label on it...

    2 spots today.

    Black 430 coupe turning off Ferry rd, no plate on the front, didn't see the back.

    Then this afternoon, saw an early Diablo (vt or 2wd) fly yellow travelling along smith st towards the highway. Didn't catch the plate or photo. But sure as hell made my day.

    Speaking of which... this was parked outside a few weeks ago.
    Bit strange, as it has Gransport wheels, skirts, taillights and bonnet, but the badges on the front guards say "V8 Turbocharged". Not too sure what that means, seems like someone bought a Gransport and put stupid (and wrong) badges on it as I thought a GS had the 4.2L NA motor, but maybe there's another explanation.

    Are you sure it says "Turbocharged"? It looks way too short to spell out that IMO.

    Yes the GS is a 4.2 NA motor, the previous 3200GT has a twin turbo V8.

    Did you take note of the plates? I've only seen on GS so far and it was also black.

    Yes - it might be "Turbo" rather than "Turbocharged", but I'm pretty sure it was the latter (I went down and checked it out), and either way I think it might be a fib ;)
    I did look, but can't remember what they were now :( No badging on the rear at all to indicate what model it was supposed to be either, the only badges on the car were the Maserati trident and the V8 Turbocharged/Turbo ones.
