    Why does Adelaide get 4 Gallardo's and we apparently only have one over here that has been stuck on the showroom floor for 6 months (I'll soon be able to afford it as they are desperate to get rid of it :D ) ? :conmfused:

    Looks nice. I reckon Lambo Melbourne had that car on their floor for a while too.

    Oops, we seem to have drifted away from the Ferrari spotting topic. Sorry about that. ;)

    coz perth has crap driving roads :p in adelaide 10-15 mins and you're in the hills tearing up classic rally territory. melbourne has some great stuff around it but it takes a lot longer to get there, tassie is awesome roads and ugly townsfolk no matter where you go, and never seen the outskirts of sydney.

    Sydney has some great roads too, but by the time you get to them you have forgotten why you left home.

    Now as for the Alice... :D

    only time i've ever been in sydney i spent it driving through the inner burbs in a Ferrari. i'm happy for my Sydney exposure story to remain like that until i can top it. :cool:

    the Glen Helen roads really were a topper, like 100k's of high speed sweepers and undulations, true exotic territory.

    I don't really like that colour on it as much as yellow or black, or orange for that matter. ;)

    I think this topic is a free-for-all - just talk about whatever you want. :D

    Hey, we have Targa West running for the first time in about 3 weeks - so we have rally roads too! ;)

    There are actually more Murcielago's in Perth (5 that I know of, but apparently a few more also) then Gallardos....go figure.

    Barbagallo have had that G on their floor since new,

    They got it for Auto Expo 2 years ago im prety sure its a 2003 model.

    And yes as far as i know there is a black manual with tan interior G in Perth.

    I guess the reason it hasnt sold, is because the G doesnt really grab you in silver, then add the fact it has a red interior and E gear, your limiting your customers. I think Lambo's (unlike Ferrari's) still sell in larger numbers of manuals than F1 style trans.

    three days ago i saw a 512bb opposite work in lt collins st, it was great, it was black, and it was loud. if i was to get a classic it would have to be one of those (or a 250gto)

    Also 355 opposite work

    and
    A road race GT3 which is unbeliveable. No plate QIKGT3

    Just saw it on Speedweek's Dutton Rally report. I've also seen it in Carlton on my way to uni a couple of times, as well as a dark blue one which, from memory, had the driver's surname on the rear side windows. I love seeing GT3s on the road with cages, tow hooks and (some) stickers.... Love it.

    Must be rather modified. Even the GT3 Cup Car has the standard speedo. I assume it's a Clubsport. Is the interior completely stripped?

    Spotted a bling 348 Spider today in Yellow. It was down near La Perouse at the Corrective Centre down there!
    I also saw a very nice Black Maserati Gransport V8 at the Sheraton on Friday - a very nice beast indeed!

    I saw a 355 Berlinetta (red) heading south on the Kwinana Freeway this afternoon, and a TVR Tamora :eek: in Baldavis.

    Actually I think Nico is technically right but thanks to the Yanks the Italians now call them spiders , I was told many years ago before the illiterate internet brigade turned up that it is supposed to be pronounced speeder but I'm sure the real wogs here will correct me...
