    My sister just got back from Sidney. (We live in California). I was watching there video and saw a Rolls Royce Phantom parked at Double Bay.
    Have any of you guys spotted this car before? It is Black.

    I lived in Sydney in Vaucluse for a number of years and brunched regularly at the Cosmo in Double Bay (and drank irregularly at both the old Ritz Carlton and the Golden Sheaf Pub). Did you happen to see the driver?? I can think of a few captains of industry on that side of town that are car guys so if you have a description of the driver I might be able to make a guess!!

    Also which street in Double Bay was it on?

    Cheers
    Kevin

    Number plate visible? I can check with a British, car-mad mate of mine in Sydney as well.

    Greetings Enzo King! You are my idol!

    Um yeah i think he used to have a 355 a while back. I think he prefers the luxury cars to the sporty cars.
    I told him about your inquiry, he seems "honoured" to be inquired about by an Enzo owner!!!

    Take it easy!

    Hey Mike, you don't actually OWN the 360 you're always talking about, do you? It's a friend's or something?

    I would have thought a black Phantom in Double bay would be as unusual as one in Toorak. Saw one driving past the Watergrill on Toorak Road yesterday while we were having dinner.

    I think you getting confused. I OWN the one i am in now. I recently bought the other share off my business partner, as it was shared. And the last one i had was not mine. Its what got me started on the Ferrari passion. I was looking after a nice Nero/Tan Modena for a business partner, as he was hiding it for his divorce. She remained in my driveway for 4 months, with strict instructions to drive late at night.
    But as of Feb, the current one will be gone. To me, its a dead asset at the moment.

    Stephen.
    I only know of one here at the moment. And he is a good friend of mine. He lives in Double Bay. Im assuming that is the correct car that Armen was asking about.

    I wish I had friends like yours! With what, if anything, are you intending to replace the 360? Don't turn all sensible on us now. :)

    Yeah like i said i was "minding" it.
    Couldnt drive it through the day, just late at night.

    I intend to replace the 360 with nothing. I need $$ for my sisters cancer treatment. I already have a buyer, so im not worried about selling it.
    Hahaha looks like i am turning sensible!

    PM sent to ya.

    Probably the same one I saw a couple of weeks ago. I have to say, it didn't look too bad. The pictures made it look REAL ugly. I didn't mind it in person.

    Isn't the watergrill ace? I've only just recently discovered it.

    I only have two words to say on the matter.
    Seafood platters!! (said in the voice of Homer Simpson whilst drooling over a donut)
    Great place for the summer weather.
