MKIV R32
MKV R32
Passat R36
Porsche Carrera GT being converted to RHD in the U.K.

Ummm, I think this guy is being serious as he is well respected, a mod, and no bulls
t artist. He moved on 2 911s in the past few months to make way for what he termed something interesting...

The RHD conversion could not have been cheap and I dread to think what the cost of compliance would be...but to be honest the CGT would not be beyond a lot of professionals in Australia. Seems you can get a low mileage one for UK£300,000 so that is around AU$450,000 to buy one. Pure guess work but I would not be surprised if he got it here and on the road for less than a new 458.

Sorry no pics but as the NSX appears to be topical there is a NSX-R which I spotted again at the weekend driving round Bondi area. Awesome car.
Also a 458 at Vaucluse beach pulled up right next to me as I was leaving the beach.
Jealous.com.........doesn't help my dad keeps sending me pictures of his new (to him) 911 targa.

Just moved into a new apartment in Tamarama (Sydney) on Gaerloch Av - today I have seen an red F430 Spyder, White R8 V10 Spyder, and dark grey Murcielago reg. B4TMAN. also see a red F430 Coupe most mornings. Locally I have seen a black F430 coupe, '71 Mustang 'vert, and Vantage V12 in black- all garaged. Also near my office in Surry Hills I keep seeing a black on black Gallardo amongst other toys. Will start grabbing some pics as they cruise by.
Any PHers round these parts?
