NZ Spotted...

[Bull1t]

Spotted a 2004 Gallardo and a 2001 Porsche Gt2 at the dyno day Ive been at all day. Both owned by the same guy as well, Im clearly in the wrong job.

The Gallardo did 289kw and the GT2 did 349kw

I've seen pics of that GT2 on NZHondas and I'm sorry.... that kit turns an average looking car into a gopping minger.

I agree. The Lambo is next in line for treatment. Hes just bought this Veilside kit for it

Apparently it retails for US$25,000 though Premier4509 have sold it to him for US$10,000 because they want one in NZ for advertising purposes.

Pork Panama driving through Redcliffs. Looked a bit squarer than a 997 front on.

Spotted a purply blue (more blue maybe even cobalt) Griffith coming out of Peka Peka beach road (North of Waikanae) heading south into Wellington. Looked stunning. I snapped a crappy pic with my cellphone and will post that later. No front plate and missed the rear plate when I was taking the pic. Looked and sounded I have to own one, one day!

Spotted on Monday a new Porsche Panamera backing off a trailer at Giltrap Prestige . Apart from that one , are there any others in NZ?

[Jem Thompson]

I saw a silver Panamera some time ago, back in September, it had plates on it, so was probably a demonstrator. If the one you saw was not silver, then yes, there is at least one other Panamera around. Not seen one on the road yet however. I didn't think it looked too bad actually, but was most certainly big.

[Fraster]

I frequently see a silver one around Orakei. Weird lookin' thaang...

[Oscar the Grouch]

There was a silver one in the window at Porsche dealer in Christchurch, havent seen any on the road.
To be honest I thought it looked terrible.

I've seen one on the roads, and it's the only car I've ever seen that looks terrible in photos and then actually looks WORSE in the metal.

I got passed by a Black 4s Turbo, while towing the Westie up the Constellation Drive on-ramp in the rain.

It actually looked quite nice, although a bit hard to work out WHY you would want one in comparison to the other things around.

[Jem Thompson]

It seems my taste is pretty rubbish then, I looked at the BMW X1 in CAR this month, and thought that looked good too. My optician did tell me to stop in for some new lenses soon...

[vtgts300kw]

There are quite a few out and about.

Silver one which someone saw a while ago was probably the CCS Demonstrator.

There is a champagne color 4S around Orakei/ Mission Bay etc driven by a lady mostly.
Silver one out Westmere/ Point Chev etc way driven by an old lady.
Saw a silver Turbo this morning on way to work.
Seen a black Turbo out and about as well.

Best color for them is either a gunmetal or a blue, like this yachting blue one.

Spotted an Elise heading south, last week, on the motorway just after Newmarket viaduct. Noticed it amongst the myriad of cars because of the colours. Red and black. It really stood out from the mass of other Auckland commuter traffic.

I was thinking just that about a BMW X6 today, truly a monstrosity! The rear tyres also appeared to be small steamrollers, but I suppose a vehicle that size needs them to stay on the road.
