The flying spurs look so nice! much better then the continental's. they just look like oversised TT's. The flying spurs look like a luxury car, a real gorgeous body, more space to appreciate the craftsmanship -They are huge.


theres a house up the road from mine, i think the owners are importer/exporters or somthing i heard say a few years ago. In the garage at any given time there is atleast 1 bentley continental, Or 1 bentley arnage R. a Lexus landcrusier, a merc CL430 or somthing a honda S2000 and a few other different cars. They also have 2 permanent gardeners and award winning doves lol

good looking is an understatement there, that looks insane! just looking at those pictures reminds me that they are such a high waisted car, like a brick with a roof lol but i love them. never seen any modified ones on the road like that though, closest ive been to modded ones was at the american car show in castle hill earlier this year(pics in a thread in the pub) where there was a Saleen stand with about 3 of them all supercharged and black

Thats neither a GT500, nor a Shelby Cobra.
Plain Jane Mustang GT with a body kit.

The car on the trailer definitely looked a lot better than the photo!

Today, on the road I saw a black Maserati 3200 GT, the model with the boomerang taillights. It looked great.

Black Mondeo WAGON out the front of Product Engineering, with Left Hand Drive Evaluation Vehicle stickered on the back. Good chance it was the actual show car from the Melbourne Motorshow.

saw an FG Xr8 today.... it looked... small, like the front end was awesome, but the roofline and width of the, maybe it was the waist line.. it just looked small to me... and the rear end looks like, pregnant.. i dunno im gettin a lot of different "emotions" on the FG... Front end is ace, rear end though, its always looked kind of Iffy to me.. just doesnt flow properly or somthing for me.

A black F6 X Territory. The first one I've seen in the flesh, very nice too.

Shame about the bogan looking owner with a mullet, slip slops and tracky's.

In the past 2 weeks, I've seen a lot of B-Series GTs and F6s.
In direct comparison, the only HSV I see is near work.

This comes on the back of one person saying to me (not here!) how nobody buys FPVs "because they're sheet" and there are HSVs everywhere because they're just so good.

I do notice cars that are not your everyday driver, and I have seen many FPVs without many HSVs.

Saw a Ferrari about 3 weeks ago too...but was too far away to determine the model...not that I'd know anyway.
