    You know, you *might* have a right to sue them for breaches of the TPA/FTA if they committed misleading and deceptive conduct by falsely advertising... :):D

    Yes, as if I really need to, I've been told (and can thus confirm) that both are on display.

    Well here is the write-up:
    http://www.vhrr.com/phillip_island.htm

    Seems like a substantial percentage of what was written didn't pan out. But don't get me wrong here, I had a blast just wish I hadn't read what I had and gone with elevated expectations.

    On a similar note I was seriously (and stil am) considering going to the Le Mans Classic with the Porsche Club later in the year. Sounds like a hell of a tour, but on the leaflette Rusty French and his 935s are being strong pushed as drawcards and that he "will" be taking two of them. I spoke with him yesterday and after he was royally screwed at the Le Mans Classic Japan there is noway he is entering his two K3s.

    I did take several, but it was combined on a trip with 3 Showrooms, that particular Exhibit and the Motorshow, which doesn't leave a massive amount of room for pics on the camera. I'm planning to go back Thursday or later, with a tripod and empty card so I get proper pictures.

    Just saw your other thread, very nice photos. What type of camera do you use? Did you ever get the chance to take any photos of the McLarens at MM? Do you have any track pictures from the Island?

    Thanks :).

    I use a Konica Minolta Dynax 7D, have been doing so for a little more than 2 months now. I did get some pictures, but only through the outside windows (didn't know how to get in at that stage yet), of #016 GTR, the Papaya Orange GTR made to look like a LM.

    4 pictures from the track at the Island have made it through so far, with more to come.

    Can you help with my query RMV ? I've seen Lindsay Fox's fine collection at Docklands twice, but I'd like to show my son whilst in Melbourne.
