Another Alfa 4C but in Port Melbourne this time. Suspect it had come from Fiat Chrysler HQ.

I spotted an i3 last night. In exactly the same spot as I saw an i8 the previous week, apparently driven by the same man!

I assume it was a demo vehicle again, as per the i8 but why would anyone in WA consider an i3 ? Fuel is so cheap and distances between places so large and there's not the tax incentives there are in the UK.

Tesla model S outside Mitre 10 in town earlier.

I wonder if the owner was buying an extension lead?

Maseratti Ghibli.

Damn I want one.

Was beside one in traffic the other day. Very nice.

saw a Tesla as well, the black 4 door version, whatever that is, cant remember where I saw it though? Somewhere around Melbourne - Griffith - Melbourne over the course of the weekend. fairly sure it was in Melbourne on one of the freeways. I didn't hang around as i was on a bit of a mission......

there is certainly some nice straight Rd's on the way to Griffith

then on the way home last night heading south down Warigual Rd, Aventador-lp-700-4 in Black with carbon accents everywhere and Orange brake callipers

what a noise !!!

the heat haze coming out the back was fairly fierce as well.

One I saw was black and I think it was on NSW plates (yellow with black text).

No mate, here's a couple of consolation pics

Just been for a wander at lunchtime. Saw a burgundy TVR Griffith on Turner Street in Port Melbourne.

Sounded better than the Aston I saw 5 minutes later.

A Mk5 Golf spearing straight through the median strip and only just stopping with it's nose in the rh lane of the F3 freeway. Right in front of me. When I was in the right lane. About to overtake a semi.

Hard brake. Swerve to the left. Pull over and change underpants.

Looks like he swerved to avoid a car changing lanes in to the side of him and lost control.

Crikey. Sliding doors.

Bloody hell, just dropped car off for a service and tucked away in the corner was the following:
250 GTO California
250 GT lusso
246 Dino
512BBi
Aston DB5
All owned by one lucky guy! I've never seen a California in the flesh before.

Fark that!

You sure he wasn't a Victorian traffic cop who got a bit lost? Have seen them hiding in the central reservation and often wondered what the risk assessment must be like for that activity...

Anyone else here got a Ferrari??

I went to a Ferrari expo at the Sydney Convention Centre a few years ago, managed to see a few stunning cars that I'll probably never see again, but don't think a California was there - lucky chap!

Spotted this last week on Marmion Avenue heading towards Perth, looked like a genuine left hooker M3?

There's a guy a few doors down from me has one, albeit RHD converted. Beautiful example though.
