NOM.

I know a guy with three Ferraris, but he has a 2009 Corvette ZR-1, not a Stratos. And he's in Dunedin, not Chch.

These were in Christchurch. Heard Euromarque had an SLR so I just HAD to check it out. When I got there spotted the two Ghiblis as well, though I got told to delete all the photos I took since they're not due for launch in NZ til the second quarter of 2014. I deleted all the photos I had in front of the guy but I accidentally videoed it as well. This is a still from that video.

Part 2... Was fortunate enough to spend some time in the F-Type, Range Rover and SLS. F-Type is as glorious as it is in photos and videos. Interior is lovely, though the Range Rover smells so damn nice. SLS.... well that's my favourite car in the whole world and this was the third time I'd seen one. But this was the first time I'd open the doors, sat in it and even got to start it up! Folks at Wellington Mercedes are the nicest dealers I've come across.

Was in the neighbourhood when I walked past this. I just had to have a look. One of 49 in the world build in right hand drive, valued at $400k. Can I just say - wow. Made me feel 10 years old.

I'm new here - just spotted this on Friday on my trailer after a friend picked it up from Mainfreight for me - hope to have it at Ruapuna as soon as I work out what all the buttons do!

Sorry - it's a 2005 Radical SR3 running the 1340 Powertec Hyabusa putting out about 215hp. I think they weigh about 600kgs so should be good fun -iported from the UK and just landed last week! Cheers

A white Rolls Royce Phantom cruised through Havelock North the other day. Not the usual stuff around here - maybe George's chauffeur dropping him off for a visit? wink

Commuting through Greenlane/Remuera/Newmarket I see some impressive stuff, but two highlights beyond the usual latest Aston/Bentley/Maserati were a Ferrari F40 on sunday monring (the reg 324KMH checked out on carjam so not a replica) and a Morgan 3 Wheeler (stuck in traffic in the sun, don't think i could handle that attention).

Being on my bike means I get all of the noise too - the F40 was astonishingly loud, in a really brutal way like a muscle car. Sounded nothing at all like a 355 or later V8.

Yeah, 324kmh is the real deal. It would have been one of the Continental guys out testing it, it's been with them for a while

I take it 324kmh is not the same car that was at the Leadfoot festival ('F40')? I thought NZ only had two F40's, one in the North Island and one In the South (Chch, owned by the guy who owns Fazzaz?).

I'd heard that Gavin Bain (from Fazazz) had sold his F40 to the North Island a couple of years ago?

There's a F40 in Hawke's Bay. Owner blew the turbos up at Taupo a while back and had them rebuilt. Guy also owns an Enzo and is currently selling this 458:
