Actually ... speaking of the new Subies ... there must have been an evalutation drive day the other day out at Windsor ... I passed about 10 of them all in a row near McGraths Hill ... they were about to head up Pitt Town Rd to go up to Wisemans' Ferry ... it's a decent roads for corners as well.

They look like Mazda 3's at first ... with big LED taillights ... then i realised what they were when i got closer.

I spotted the same one in Brighton! Two weeks ago sounds about right too. More of a dark grey though, I was ecstatic when I saw it.

Also spotted White XR4 with Blue Stripes and gold on black numberplates on my street! Spotted it more recently parked outside the local pub so I now have an XR4 to keep an eye out in my neighbourhood : .

01/02 Silver Frost Cougar with b&w "COUGAR" NSW plates, just caught the back end of it as it was going around a corner at Milperra, looked pretty stock except for dual exhaust from what I could see of it.

Spotted two F430s on Saturday... one spider, one hard-top.

Also saw a red 360 Modena when I was driving to work... it sounded angry.

I don't see any for ages and spot 2 in about 10 minutes. Both red Ka's and one with a wild looking bodykit. Did they come with a factory bodykit?

Damo, Do you think the Cmax/Smax was a "Private Import" or was it a Prototype?

I would say private import. I think the Smax is alot bigger, so im gonna go with Cmax. Funny thing is i cant find an image of it. All that is coming up is a mk2 version. Wait im might possibly be the Focus Estate

I think I saw the same car for sale on Parramatta Road over a year ago. Its was a Ford Galaxy if i remmber correctly

I saw yesterday a black LS Zetec dumped on its guts on 19s at least - number plate FLO55N on the Hume Hwy cross roads going south. I've seen this car in George St Saturday night about 8 months ago.

Apparently so, but most probably its an owner operator who's employed by the company.

Saw it in the morning on Southern Cross Drive north, and in the afternoon again on the same stretch! He's a pretty opportunist driver

Approx. 1.30pm today, Zetec20's Focus on the M4 @ Emu Plains. I was entering the Westbound On Ramp at Mulgoa Road (he was already on the M4) and accelerating when the first thing I spotted was the Euro plates and that gave it away. Slowed down a bit for him to catch up but he turned off onto Russel Street. The car's still looking good!!
