    Are there any Kiwis left over there guys????

    We get Motorway Patrol over here and over half the Police force seem to be Poms or other foriegners with an accent. :D

    from what I hear a lot of Poms come over to join the NZ Police and then return to UK as the Police here have such limited powers, similar with Sarf Africans who are used to other means of controlling matters!

    over 30,000 Kiwi's moved to Oz last year, I wonder if many were Police?

    Spotted a 348TB on Whatawhata Road this afternoon.

    Also mine has been out and about all week due to me being on holiday, surprised no one around here spotted me.

    Looks like a cool Ferrari dealership. :):)

    Plenty of stock there and also right across from the Holden dealer too. I wonder how many Holden buyers walk across the road and admire all those Ferraris? :p:p

    Tempting... :p Will have to watch that interview once i get my sound working

    Was out at Pukekohe today watching the BMW series having a few non-championship races as support to the NZ V8s. Quality racing as usual and was a fun - yet laid back day. Spotted an X6 in the carpark. Looked quite cool although only caught a glimpse. Was a bit gutted to see the impressive replica (did i just say that?!) F40 (www.f40.co.nz) didnt turn up to race in the super sedans as expected.

    I have been informed that some people are unhappy about these Scud photo's being posted. I would like to publicly apologise for posting these photos. I apologise to the owner especially and will do so in person next time i see him and his wife.

    In my defence i would also like to add that the car was sitting in the dealer's public showroom and anyone (plenty were) could take a photo and do as they wish with that photo. If the car was intended to be kept private until its NZ release it would have been prudent of the dealership to have kept the car away from public eye. If i had taken the photo's in a restricted area i would have thought twice about posting them, i have plenty of photos i have taken while being in restricted areas, these photo's are kept for my enjoyment.

    None of the above removes the fact that i am solely responsible for taking the photos and posting them on a public website. For this i apologise again to the owner of the car.

    sounds like some-one chewed your back-side! I have to side with you though, if the car/item/boat whatever is in the public domain, then its in the public domain. (great pics by the way)

    Ha-ha, yeah sort of, I was told by a member of the sales team that i got him in trouble by posting the photo's then he went into detail about how i am LET to look at areas of the dealership and i basically should not abuse that privilege. It was more the way he said it as apposed to what he was saying. I am almost fed up with these guys, I was not LET to look at anything, i simply walked into a car showroom and these was a Scud, what, am i not supposed to take photo's? :D Really?

    From reading what i have written i sound upset, i am not upset at all, i just don't want the owners of the car in question to feel that i have done something wrong when I'm my opinion i have done nothing out of place.

    Also if you knew why i was at the dealership for 3 days running..............

    Let me just say glue and leather together make me very annoyed! Esp when it was noticed by the tech who put it there and i get my car beck with it still all over my seat.
