saw a nice Ferrari F430 today on toorak road parked next to some small restaurant place

[Jamezilla]

Parking the Mac on the street like that - so cool!

What colour was the F430? Timbo was down today and used CEO privilage to swan around in it, enjoying the Melbourne sunshine

[Z1LLA]

Hey I spoted that Mclaren F1 too. On high St Northcote!!!!

I tell ya, it looked so vulnerable just sitting there.

Looks like Preston with the Hungry Jacks and Europcar car yard on the other side, but I'm just being picky!! Great spot!

i would give every spare organ i could muster to drive one for a day. lol

[revhed01]

^^OMG! F**king mad! Nice find Matt.

Thanks Jamie!

You ever seen how hot that thing is in the flesh?!

Unreal!

I nearly had an accident when driving past it. Just yanked on the ancors (and myself), just so I could get a better look at the beast. Nothing quite like it.

Hey thats twice we've bumped into each other on the way to work, how weird was that, again?

Must look sweet to see two R32 gtrs side by side, both gunmetal grey with white rims.

HAHA! I would have just parked in the middle of the street just to take a pic!

Yeah I usualy leave at about 9am, latest 9:15 to get to work, cuz that Chandler Hwy can get pretty stupid with traffic, cuz everyone want to go Fairfield that way and to go Kew, it get block with all the cars.

But yeah is cool seeing both cars at the same time! Still yours looks TUFF with the spoiler on it and can always spot it!

just saw a F430, Gallardo, E46 M3, R34 GTR and mini parked right next to each other. All infront of my friends house.

[BBGTR]

Saw a silver Murchie LP640 on Warrigal Road near ashwood (reg LLP640).

Poor dude nearly stalled turning right to go down the hill towards holmesgen TAFE. I was in my wife's V50 T5 Volvo with her and the kids.

He gunned it just outside the TAFE and it was fair to say the sound was enough for me to nurse a semi

He was doing laps of the suburb as when we were on our way home saw him on the same corner again.

P1 car at all?

[R32Big_boy]

I saw a ragtop LP640 on friday night in a servo near lygon street. didnt get a photo as i was in a hurry to get to the docklands.

It was a gold/yellow colour. So hot.

[Swink33]

Spotted what may be the same Murchie LP640 BBGTR saw 'briskly' driving down chapel street and then turning into dandenong road heading city bound late (11.00ish) on Sunday night.

How is the exhaust legal because it was quite loud?

Also spotted a black Ferrari 360 turning from Chapel street into dandenong road heading outbound at approx 4.00pm yesterday. It also had a loud exhaust that I wouldn't call legal

[Ant97GTR]

How is the exhaust legal because it was quite loud?....It also had a loud exhaust that I wouldn't call legal

They are 'legal' because they come fitted from the factory with a butterfly valve in the exhaust system....the epa say ok we'll test the noise of your Lambo/Porsche/Ferrari etc at xyz rpm so the manufacturers just set it to free flow after that.

Yeah what he said^^^

Yet i'd be VERY VERY surprised to see a lambo driver with an aftermarket exhaust pulled over and defected for a loud exhaust... even though a lot that i've heard are a heck of a lot louder than any turbo six with a 4" exhaust!!

[dezz]

Think I saw the same Lambo on sunday night heading outbound over the westgate, but can't be sure what kind of lambo it was as it was dark and my mate was driving too slow to get close enough to it

[R-SPEC]

was driving next to a F40 on lygon st this arvo

so low and wide, made my car look like a bus

[inark]

hope that Camry driver doesn't floor it in reverse instead of drive when pulling out. doesn't bear thinking about.....

one day when im feeling brave and ever come across a car like that (has to be more rare then a ferrari) im going to make sure my insurance is up to date as is my rating 1 protection and plow into something like that... and after careening into it onwards into some sort of exhibition of rare paintings and artifacts and see if i can rackup close to a 20 million dollar bill which is the max insurance companies seem to have and go on about... really get my monies worth cause it just doesnt feel right not having an accident over many years not to use it at least once.

[eMsta]

R8 on eastern fwy 2 days ago as i was driving home

[Leewah]

The hotties are definitely out in force now that the GP is on.

Saw the 2 Rarris outside Crown the other night.

Saw the F40 on Alexandra Parade yesterday on my way to lunch in Carlton.

Also saw a couple F430 ragtops, a DB9, and I'm not sure but I thought I saw a 599 ragtop in Lygon St. Do they exist?

[Do-Luck]

*FAP FAP FAP*

Love the trade plates

[ashsimmonds]

...and I'm not sure but I thought I saw a 599 ragtop in Lygon St. Do they exist?

Nope - was probably a 550 Barchetta or something ???

[sideways60]

Saw a few nice cars in Sydney while dropping off the Porsche 911 (997) Carrera S Cabriolet (what a mouthful). A nice black Lambo Gallardo, some nice Mercs...then got to P1 Supercars new Sydney Office. Sorry for phone pics.

There was this guy's photo....he's on the far left. Generally known as that guy from P1.

The view out from the office..... L-R Maserati quattroporte, the Porka and the Gallardo spyder

And my taxi to the Casino and the ariel atom up the front of the building

The taxi was of course the Fezza 360 Challenge Stradale. The only silver one in Oz.

Happy to be your taxi driver Geoff! Especially in the office runabout, the 360CS!
