A decent spot from me - Hulme Canam Super Car in Manukau Heights yesterday late arvo, we followed three cars behind on Redoubt Rd then it peeled on onto Murphys Rd. Wow, must be one of NZ's most expensive cars !!! Looks really mean on the road!

It must have doubled back through East Tamaki because it passed us, going the other way, on the Great South Road between Manukau and Hunters Corner.

Just saw a blue 106 GTi in Devonport. Not yours by any chance Bullit?

[Bull1t]

Nope, I live in Wellington

Spotted a yellow esprit going south on my way to Turoa from weelington yesterday.

Spotted a light blue Ford Sierra Cosworth (the one with the huge spoiler) in downtown Auckland today. Also, a Ford salesman told me there is one (at least) Focus RS arriving in the country soon. Privately imported, and in Bright Green as well. So it should be easy to spot.

Due Sept 6th
I'll see if the owner will put a few photos up once it's on the road. No it's not mine.

He went over to UK to buy it and put it into a container himself didn't he?

Possibly the same one I saw today heading north around Parapramish. 4 letter personalised plate **FF (cant remember the rest)

Im no expert on dating Esprits but it looked like itd be amongst the last of the really angular ones before the more rounded shape like Kylies.

[D1GGY]

Yep that would have been the one, i came across it around Foxton way.

f430 spyder Heading down towards queenstown from the Wanaka/Cardrona via Crown ranges. Passed it again the other way, someones having a very fun day, sounded ace.

An (the?) Ultima GTR in Wellington. Was about a minute after the Mt Vic tunnel, such a shame I didn't meet it earlier. Sounds very American, looks awesome.

Thats on Shortland St isn't it? I walk up there everyday and regularly see stuff of a similar quality (though a GT2 is better than most). Ive seen a DB9 parked with a wheel against the curb , through to a 106 Rallye and Merecedes G500. Always a good selection along there.

^^^ well, it was on the A1 track at Taupo on saturday when the owner wasn't out in his GT3RS track appliance - not slow with a certain KTN driver behind the wheel.

[Jem Thompson]

Damn, its not a GT2 is it? My spotting skills must be deteriorating.

I've seen a black 997 GT2 in Wellington a few times as well. Same one perhaps?

[Jem Thompson]

Argh! The black on black colour scheme is messing with my head. GT2 it is. There was a black one in the Auckland dealership, it was at the Top gear Live show. Its wheels were not painted though.

By the way, the Wellington Porsche showroom was lovely, it had a 996 & 997 GT3

[vtgts300kw]

Pretty sure its the only 1. We had an allocation of 2. Extra special with the OZ leggera's on it though.

Anyone know whos it is?
