    Just been informed of these two collections by someone in the UK forum and was hoping you guys could shed some more light.

    I am pretty much clued up now on the Melbourne one with 200+ cars including the McEnzo and F50! However I know nothing about the Sydney collection.

    I would really love to see both collections so was wondering if anyone had anymore info on dates of when they may be open and where they are!

    Thanks!

    Pertaining to the Melbourne collection, I assume you're referring to the Fox Classic Car Collection. Let me know when you're in Melbourne and I'll see what I can organise for you if there aren't any open days at that time.

    Sydney Tourist here!

    Anyway, how practical is it to get from Sydney to melbourne say just for a weekend?
    I would like to see the Fox collection and the GP circuit as well.

    However would it be practical to make the journey from Sydney to Melbourne for such a short time??

    BAH Phill!

    Gays in Sydney? This coming from a Melbournian? Thats rich!

    I know, well, knew of an Enzo being here at one stage. Might have moved back to HK or whatever asian country the owner originated from....

    there is the car museum in Harris St Ultimo which is right next to Darling Harbour (sounds like a name those Melb boys call each other:D) , just behind the monorail station from memory, those VIC boys are still playing with trams from 200 years ago, a leftover from the empire, Sydney is the progressive city :)
