No photos as I was on the mtb, but in the course of this morning's effort around Terry Hills, spotted a silver Ferrari 575 that looked and sounded awesome as the driver gave it some welly along Forest Way - rego 000 575 if anyone knows it. Also a red 599 GTO, which I know is right cos the rego was '599 GTO'

Next up was a bright yellow Lotus Exige, followed soon after by a 964 in French Blue (or some proper German-named blue) that looked fantastic. All made a bright day brighter.

I should point out that none of these were on mtb tracks...
Sounds like overspill from the Cars n Coffee meet at Cavallino's. I'll be heading up there next month, it's always the 1st Sunday.

Having a smoke this morning on my balcony and I spot a lovely blue TVR Cerbera parked over the road at the tennis club, Hampton East for those playing at home. Anyone from here? So good to see a Blackpool chariot out in the wild more so down here in the burbs.

Alfa Romeo 4C outside a house near the local motel.

I didn't think they were on sale yet.

Saw this today.

Checked the rego to make sure it wasn't a replica, and it comes back as being real (although the rego shows as cancelled)

Obviously I was stationary and my passenger leant over in front of me to get a better shot wink

Must be catching, I saw an epic looking very dark blue/black 512TR in Avalon NSW this weekend. Such presence!

White 2011 Ford Ka on UK plates GJ11WOC parked outside a house in town yesterday.

Registered 25th March 2011, never MOT'd (roady - first due at 3 years old), road tax (similar to rego) expired April 2014, and hasn't got an export marker according to the UK DVLA.

So, it looks like it never made its 3rd birthday in the UK and they don't know it is out of the country. All a bit strange - why bother importing a Ford Ka?

Company paying costs so 'why not?' I know a bloke who brought a caravan and a boat over for no other reason than HR didn't say no!

I remember the Elfin concept being built by HSV and it looked amazing. Was sooo disappointed when it turned into this.

Saw that Elfin yesterday on my early morning bike ride down Beach road. It went round the roundabout at Mordiallic and sped off up beach rd. Sounded great!

To be fair I know the owner of the Elfin, he dropped around the other night to show off his new toy. Lovely bit of kit, 235 pilot sports II all around, 5.7 litres, 6 piston calipers, rose joint suspension, 1050kg.

That's a lot to like

Only 17 made.

Spare parts at very reasonable prices for the bespoke stuff, even cheaper for the regular Gm stuff on it.
