The Audi R8 was purchased by the Neurosurgeon, Mr Andrew Hunn. He lives in Battery Point, Hobart. Can't wait to catch a glimpse - he's not afraid to get it out of the garage and take in for a spin apparently.

Silver? Yes its an AMG.

Spotted a beast the other day, probably not a supercar though. She was a black fully restored XA supercharged falcon with plates 'BLWNXA".

ah cheers for that. I've been trying to find out.

I'm about 97% sure there was a W427 on the bridge this arvo. Are they out yet. I only glimpsed it in my rear view but the front looked just like one.

I checked out a 996 turbo in Campbell Town last week.

The car was absolutely covered in bugs, mud and dirt and looked as if it had just done the Paris -> Dakar rally! I was hugely impresssed that the owner obviously uses this car for transport, and not just a weekend warrior. It had Tassie plates.

Oh the brakes! The rotors were ceramic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never seen these in real life. Awsome car, no other way to describe it.

This week - overtook a blue Masserati. That was nice to.

yeah, have seen the ferrari with F1 plates - was pulling into Autobarn in Glenorchy I believe..haha.

also, caught my first glimpse (and heard) the Audi R8 going up sandy bay road uphill towards St Ives a couple of days back - he gave it a bit of stick up the hill as well. i just about had an accident in my jocks.

met the owner of the black C63AMG aswell that's been getting around hobart. gave me a sit down in the drivers seat, turned her over and gave her some revs. very noice.

Lives in New Town?
I'm pretty sure I've seen it in one of the driveways (won't say where) around there.

I'm not sure if it was for Targa but I'm pretty sure there was an R35 on a truck coming into town last week. Looked like a new delivery but I wasn't sure.
