    I'm in Melbourne through the weekend with my family (from Dallas, TX). We've completed all the tourist stuff, where are all the f-chaters and f-cars? Haven't seen one f-car since I've been here. Where do all you mates hang out?

    This!!

    Lygon St is like the Little Italy of Melb so even if you don't find any Ferraris you will have some nice Italian Restaurants to pick from. :eek:


    Chapel St should be renamed to Poseur St




















    Good Luck :eek:

    Yeah, I think you're more likely to see Ferraris (and the rest) on Chapel than Lygon. This is my personal experience.

    would be the only time. or if the fcavic have another pizza night there. But if we're talking random saturdays/sundays, my vote would go to chapel st.

    + 1

    Especially parked outside Cafe Sienna on Chapel Street. Friday, saturday nights and Sunday lunch. Almost always late model cars that you can see any time in Zagame showroom on Swan Street in Richmond.

    If you're going down the coast pop into Ballerine Estate Winery.

    An old mate of mine from university owns it with his Texan wife.

    It maybe too wet this weekend to see any exotics.

    Headed down the coast today and stopping at Ballerine Estate Winery, thanks Dean! I'm surprised there are not more BMW's, Mercedes on the roads. I expected it to be more like Europe. Anyway, thanks for the info mates...
