    Thanks Ash....the watering hole you may be talking about is "The Windsor" which is at the top of Mends St on the corner with Mill Point Rd.
    I often walk around looking for cars to take pics of, lots of nice stuff around....have so far got pics of a Maybach, 550, a few 360's, 355, E55 AMG, lots of SL's and M3's, and a few Maserati's in the general area.
    Here is a GT3 pic I took on Sunday, now you can see the entire city skyline:

    hope you like it, one of my favourite pics I've taken.

    yeah, most likely it. nice schnitty parms. :) i think the thing i loved about perth was that it was customary for nibbles like spring rolls and little pizzas and prawns and whatnot to be distributed about as you drank, in nearly every pub i provided custom to.

    here in adelaide that's so rare. a couple places do it on a friday afternoon with 1 or 2 plates of stuff that they walk around with offering, but we're such greedy bastards here because we don't get it complementary usually that people run for them and grab as much as they can. :( anyhoo...

    ha haah ah aha ha. that number plate rocks.

    lol......not sure if that is what he meant it to stand for, since the owner was a 20-something male who didn't look like a hairdresser, although maybe it was his wifes car.

    thanks for that comment....appreciated.
    I didn't imply it was the first one I've seen, just thought I'd share the pics as some people (not you obviously) appreciate Ferrari pictures....being a Ferrari forum and all I thought it was fitting.

    aaaw c'mon petey, give the guy a break. it's no F40, but most of us still like seeing anything that's not a taxi.

    here's one you've never seen, a Fiat Spider. (it was under my X1/9 and i grabbed it instead of a wrench i was aiming for... why the hell's my wrench hairy? aaaaaargh! :D )

    Moretti, go and pat your 'spider' - bloke who tried to convert his Toyota in the same manner today on the same stretch of road didn't live to tell the tale...

    John as a GT4 owner that photo makes me cringe.Im glad you got out of it alright or at least in one piece!Is that the result of the rescue squad cutting you out?I also read in another post that you might resurrect the old girl.Is that still a goer?Any other pics of the car?I know what I said before but its like a train wreck about to happen,you want to see how it ends up!Sorry if this is a raw nerve and understand if you don't choose to post more pics.Just glad you made it out mate.{insert happy face here}

    well thanks for the support from some of you....and Aircon if you don't find the pics nice/useful then there was no real need to waste your time in this thread by replying with smart ass comments.
    I don't want to start an argument though, lets just say I like taking/collecting pics of exotic cars and thought some others might feel the same so I shared them.......

    Yo dingo,

    thanks for the pics,

    i take Aircon's point, however being a fellow sandgroper, i understand just how rare it is to actually see one here in Perth. and therefore understand just how exciting it can be to see one in the flesh

    Cheers

    Luckily, I have plenty of time to waste. Thanks for caring, though. Sweet of you to share the pics....pity they look like the god only knows how many OTHERS there are identical to that on this site and, indeed, on the internet in general.

    Is your punctuation up the pole, or are you suggesting there's more than one of me?

    i think the point is the only reason you're saying something is to bring someone down, and that's just not cool. correcting someone's mistakes or letting them know they're repeating existing information is fine, but this guy wasn't saying it's like the best photos of the best car on the planet, it was just posted as an addition to a collection.

    context is great sometimes. personally, i probably wouldn't have even bothered to say "nice pics" in the first place as it's "just another ferrari", but i recognized the location and have personal knowledge of that very spot, i've eaten fish and chips and icecreams on the grass in front of it. so for me it was werthwhile checking it out, and that's all you can hope for when you expose yourself, is that at least one other person appreciates your effort.

    hope that helps. :)
