Spotted today in North Brisbane

White HSV W427.

I didn't even notice it at first, we'd just done a Macca's run & were heading home & there it was sitting right beside us at the lights. At first I thought, nice Senator, then I noticed the wheels were wrong before I finally saw the tell tale badge. I have seen this one a few times around the Northside of Brisbane, its really good to see one being DRIVEN instead of sitting in a shed whilst the owner looks to make a profit by never driving it & just keeping it as an investment. Personalised plate "Paddy" (White writing with a green background) & the owner looked pretty Irish (Red hair, see through skin lol). It was soooooooo quiet but the owner wasn't giving it any, I think its his daily driver, nice!!!

My GF couldn't see what all the fuss was about, all she said was, "Is that like some kind of SS?"
"Sort of" was the best I could manage while the drool ran down my chin...

yes it is

ahhh, i laugh at the people that dont know anything about cars. and then i just look at said car and drool

saw one of these in the local shopping centre car park, never seen one before IRL.



CRAPPY PHONE CAMERA FTW!!

See now something like that above you don't expect to see driven on the street anymore (sadly). Great to see folks actually using and enjoying them! Can't say I have seen anything to top these lately but there was a Porsche Cayenne just parked at the Hypermarket on Brisbane's northside.

Tomorrow going to some super duper awesome car dealer with some exsquisite cars.

Last month saw a Ford GT in a smash repairs, owner had lost it and put the car into the gutter. Not massive damage but enough to make you cry. Will post some pics later

Some guys owns a old school GT40 here in my town, we get to see him fanging around in it quite often. its yellow.

I've seen a Countach, Diablo, Gallardo and R8 in Canberra.

I saw a 2008 Maserati GT afew months back in the muddle of sunnybank, well i heard the thing first. The owned wasnt afraid to give it a gutfull of the lights.
One of the sweetest sounding cars ive ever heard!

get the photo off your camera onto the computer, then, you will have to upload it to a image hosting website (i use photobucket, you have to create an account first), then once the pictures are uploaded, you will see some options under it when the mouse cursor is on the photo. go to the one that have the [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] tags (without the spaces), copy that bit, and paste into the reply section on the forums.

Took this in Osaka, Japan.


Also saw a guy driving a HUGE Hummer around the same streets.
I was taking a photo and a friend said I should be careful, because they are prolly yakuza.

Saw a BMW M3 the other day, the thing that made me laugh was the driver was no oil painting but his missus in the passenger seat would give Jennifer Hawkins a run for her money. Money Talks!!!!!

Did ya try the "QUICK! Look over there - a UFO!" (and then drive off real fast) trick? Always good for a laugh that one.

Kinda didn't have the keys...

Mum took the photos so they aren't exactly classy...nor are they any good anyway because they were taken on my phone.

edit: Oh and i forgot to mention this is the only Ferrari (GTO) I actually do like. It just feels right, a proper drivers car. No fancy gadgets, no freaking humongous steering wheel. Just you, the car, the road.

Last time I was in Melbourne I saw a silver Murcielago. Around Ballarat I often see some Aston Martins, a Vantage and a DB7, dunno what the other is. Also a brace of Porsches, some 911 Carreras, a few boxsters and the odd Cayenne.

Mostly though I notice E30 BMWs and Classic Minis. Also a pair of Pulsar GTR's that I would happily give my left nut to own.

Edit; I forgot the Corvette owners club which I often see about and a few hot rods out at Sebastopol.

yeah i won a rare car myself.....it pretty unique

2000 Mitsu TJ Magna Advance 3.5 with 3 hubcaps!!!! ROFL!!!

Awesome and silver too, I alwyas liked Silver Ferraris (as opposed to the usual red) as you can see the lines of the car soooooo much better!! Damn now the Magnum PI themesong is playing in my head lol!

There was a Torana done up as a Peter Brock Marlboro race car parked up the street from my house today. sadly it was gone by the time I found my camera.
