996TT, Gallardo & M3 at Perth dealers.

[dingo]

I went to a couple of dealerships in Osborne Park today after uni and took some pics to share. The Audi place had no Murci or RS6's (which was just sold) unfortunately, put I'll find the guy who owns it. :lol:
If I get time tomorrow I'll go to the official Porsche and BMW dealerships and see what they have on offer.

996TT:

[Mopsdrops]

very nice pics, thanks for them dingo22. The Gallardo and 996TT are unbelievably beautifull. thx :)

[vexor]

That's a good looking Gallardo. I take it they didn't let you inside it did they?

[dingo]

That's a good looking Gallardo. I take it they didn't let you inside it did they?

no they didn't, even though I asked very politely. :D

Ah, try it next time with a good suite and take a case with you. U must say u are maybe interessed and ask to sit in to know how it feels. then you must say are going home to think about it. and never return back...
with some luck this might luck. :wink:

[dingo]

I'll try that next time mopsdrops, and maybe even get a test drive. :lol:

I agree with you dani_d_mas, the first red one I have seen and when I first set eyes on it, it blew me away...so nice, even better in person.

Red is MEH for me sat in it too. i prefer Laguna Seca Blue :twisted: now that is a beautiful color

[TT]

Nice pics thanks! The Gallard ones are great :D and the M3 in red is very rare around here!

[mindgam3]

nice work there ;) thanks

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Thanks a million for your work as well....thanks......its the first time that i see a pic of a silver grey coloured Gallardo....and it looks great indeed, its very rare for me to see a red BMW M3 E-46, once ive seen previously the black M3(the most common colour that ive seen here so far, for instance there are quite many around here), the gold colour M3(quite common as well), and bourdeaux colour as well

[nutsy]

thks man great pics i like the red m3

[possessed_beaver]

nice pictures man!
if u keep it up at this rate you would have taken pictures of al the good cars in perth before i would of had a chance to.

my friend was speaking about that red M3, but he said he diden't want it in the end or something because it had SMG he also had a look at the Gallarado on saturday

http://img49.exs.cx/img49/1160/Imgp0543.jpg
look farmilure!

http://img49.exs.cx/img49/5529/Imgp0561.jpg

i have a few more he took.

i mite have to hit alf barbagallo befoe u do, and take some of the ferrari's there!

[Nik^XeN]

I love the Gallardo the most thnx for that picture men:)

[skituner]

very nics pics
gotta look that gallardo

[sentra_dude]

Great pics! I like that red Audi...looks very nice in red. 8)

[dingo]

beaver, yeah it does look very familiar and I've already been to Barbagallo a while back and posted the pics: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14456

But when I was at Audi I went over there and had a look in the window and saw they now have 2 red 360's (and the silver 355 is still there) and a Bentley Continental GT....no room left on memory card though so no photo's, but you could take them for us. :wink:
BTW, it is my aim to get a photo of every nice car in Perth one way or another. :D

[styla21]

Hi guys, i have a ton of pics taken here on the other side of the country - do you want me to post some? Continental GT's, audi rally cars, m3's and csl, lotus. seems Aus does have some nice exotics afterall

[dingo]

yes please post them, would love to see them....where are you at, Sydney?

I would open a separate topic though, don't post them in here otherwise alot of people probably won't see them since they've already been in this thread. :wink:

[BADMIHAI]

Nice pics! Just one question: Isn't the Turbo a 996T, with the GT2 being a 996TT?

[dingo]

Nice pics! Just one question: Isn't the Turbo a 996T, with the GT2 being a 996TT?

I'm not to sure, you could be right. It was a twin-turbo 996-series Porsche so I thought thats what 996TT denoted. I'm sure one of our Porsche experts will fill us in. :D

[TT]

Nice pics! Just one question: Isn't the Turbo a 996T, with the GT2 being a 996TT?

The 996 Turbo has two Turbos :)

hahahah im going to be at rally australia this year, armed with my 256mb memory card.

i also took some pictures of a friends doge viper in perth, but they are pretty crappy.

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

I think also that the red colour helps a lot the S4 also, although i prefer the grey silver for it

[BADMIHAI]

The 996 Turbo has two Turbos


I thought the GT2 has two turbos and the Turbo has one. But I was still right about the GT2, right? Or does that have a single turbo?

[dingo]

The GT2 does have two turbos, but so does the 996 Turbo....but then 996T doesn't seem right because to me that indicates 1 turbo, not two. :?

Are you going to the special stages or the forrest stages (or both)? I'm not sure if I'll be going this year, have to see what happens.
Where is this Viper, I wanna see it.....only ever seen one and that was some time ago. :D

[enigmatic]

those pics beaver posted would be mine 8)
unfortuantly the gallardo was parked with its nose right in the corner of the window preventing me from getting any shots from the front. argh!

another photo of that a4. ive got more if anyone is interested. very nice - shame it was only the 2L...

interior shot of the s4 also at the audi dealer in osbourne park. i found it to be a little underwhelming :?

i've also payed a visit to westpoint start mercedes recently to check out the new little SLK. but maybe i should post a new topic dedicated to that excursion.
would a few slk pics be worthy?

[dingo]

I noticed the Lambo was in a bad position for beaver (or you), so I was lucky when I took those pics they had moved it into a more photo-friendly position. :D

enigmatic, you might as well start a new topic and post the pics, people around here can't get enough.
Do Westpoint Star have any AMG cars at the moment? They had an AMG display weekend a couple of months back with some very nice cars, but I didn't have a camera back then so no pics. :cry:

[enigmatic]

yeah looks like i'll have to slap a new mini-topic together 8)
no AMG models at the moment... not any that i noticed, atleast.
we recieved an invite for that particular weekend, and dropped by to have an ogle.
they bring a heap of AMG models over from the eastern states for a weekend once a year.
SL55, C32, E55, CL55 (not 65!) etc were all there.

dad took the w211 E55 for a drive. himself, and the salesman, both gave it a good strapping! the salesman even getting some wheelspin taking a backstreet corner pretty swiftly, only the t/c being the party-pooper :wink:
to this day, one of the fastest-feeling cars i've ever had the privelige of travelling in. amazing!

i had some photos... might have to dig them up.
might have been more than a couple of months ago, too.

[dingo]

Thats sounds like fun.....didn't get a test-drive myself. :cry:
I can't remember when it was exactly, probably more than a couple of months now that I think about it. I went to the Diesel Motors showroom in Bentley on a Friday (I think) and I was just about the only one in there....not enough 'fans' in this state I dont think. :?

is the red ferrari 355 still in there when you saw it?

[dingo]

Which red 355? If you mean at the Merc showroom there wasn't any Ferrari's at all. :?

wow these cars are incredible!!! and the resolution is also fantastic!! big thx!!

[dingo]

Thanks samtek, I was pleasantly suprised at how well the Gallardo pictures turned out. :D

yeah, ya lucky bastard :lol:

they must have learnt from my awkward attempts at frontward shots, and changed their ways.
i guess i was there on the weekend and they would have wanted it in good view for weekend window-shoppers :x

have you noticed (is it just me??) that the audi dealer has very few salespeople, and the couple that are there, never really approach you...
very strange, i thought.
especially compared to the mercedes and bmw dealerships.

[dingo]

I did notice that, I had to search for one to ask if I could take the pics. :D
It is understandable though since I don't really look like the typical Lamborghini customer.
A funny thing happened when I was looking at the Gallardo, a couple (in their late 30's probably) were also looking at the car and the woman was having a good look then said "I think it looks ugly"....I nearly fell over, then had to restrain myself from not hurting her. :twisted: Luckily her partner set her straight and gave her a bit of a lesson. :D

[a007apl]

Tkx for Gallardo pics :D
