Perth and some of its cars

[dingo]

I went for a drive today to hopefully see some nice cars. I didn't see as many nice cars as some of the other members, since Perth is a little lacking in this area. :(

I have higher res pics available if anyone wants them.

This is the Perth city skyline:

This is across the river, looking at the Swan Brewery:

A nice SL55 AMG, quite a rare car here:

nice pics where did u get the info on the Maserati per capita stuff?

[dingo]

^It was on a local car show on TV a few years back, maybe its changed since then but there do seem to be alot of them here. I saw another two that I couldn't manage to get take pics of unfortnately.

the maserati looks really cool and the merc W0W!!! 8) cool pics, thx!

[Stikz]

nice pics man, but i hate those rims on the SL55 AMG. They look so cheap. If you can afford that car you should be able to upgrade the wheels.

[TT]

If you could post the high-res picture of Perth's skyline (no not the car ;)) as long as the two of the SL and the Maser Spider one, it would be nice :D

Upgrade to what? Keep in mind those are AMG wheels, man! Theh're not ghetto bangin' chrome Dubs!

I love the SL and the Maserati is also very sexy.

Indeed, I think the SL with those "stock" wheels is perfect :)

I saw one with 20" FAB Design rims, it was really nice

[SilviaEvo]

they destroyed the Skyline!!! at least it was a GT-T or a GT-S not a GT-R but still a Skyline is a Skyline.

Sorry if you didn't saw as many cars as you wanted, but the cars and the pics are very cool, and the city is very beautiful and worths the ride for itself.

I have a friend of mine working in Camberra, I'll ask her about Perth.

My best SL55 sighting to date had some gorgeous aftermarket wheels too :D:

[TT]

Yep I think they were Lorinser indeed.

And thanks for posting pics of yours :D

[Darkel]

Hey, I'm also a car hunter, my Dimage Xt is very useful 8)

[TT]

That's cool :D we like car hunters wich actually have proof of their sightings :D

[Darkel]

It's always better to have proofs :wink: (if only I had some pics of the Aero 8 I saw last week ...)

It was an r32 skyline i think. very rare consitering it as to be imported

[dingo]

^ Yes it was an R32 Skyline, but they are actually very common around here. There is also always plenty for sale in the weekend paper for reasonable prices.
