Sept 1 in Perth (550M, M3, few Mercs...)

[dingo]

I finally saw my first V12 Ferrari ( a beautiful red 550M) besides at a dealership or car show….and I nearly collapsed I was so excited. I was lucky in a way, because just as I was about to take the first pic from across the road a guy comes up behind me and says “you have to pay to take pictures of my car” and I turned around and replied “how much?”. Thankfully he wasn’t serious and was quite nice and let me take a couple of pics (wish I could of got more) before he drove off….and he didn’t take off very slowly either, trying to show off to me I think. The sound was impressive but not as nice as the V8’s (355, 360) IMO.
The weather is starting to get nice around here so the nice cars are coming out of hiding, should be a nice spring/summer.
The M3 pictures are no good since they were taken while I was suppose to be driving, but I know where he lives (seen the car parked in a secured area) and its just a matter of time before I get him.
I thought I might include the dog since TT had one last week, but this dog can even drive a car by the looks of it…..LOL.

The sexy 550:

M3, I wouldn’t let that guy in the first pic clean the windscreen of my M3:

Great pics dude....you shouldnt have any complaint about that day once you saw a very special car(the 550, naturally, although i prefer the 360), and a beautiful day as well unlike here

[possessed_beaver]

the 575 look stunning, im not sure what it was doing in perth (or south perth by the looks of it) - maybee it was lost on the way to somwehere nice!

the sl500 in south perth looks stunning with the skyline in the background.

i'll see if i can gte some pictures of GTR skylines - they are common enough.

and great M3!

^ Its a 550, not a 575. :wink:
There are some rich people in Perth that like to have lunch overlooking the river and the city.....so I don't think it was lost. It did have WA plates so its is from the area, now I just have to find where he lives. :wink:
I saw another Ferrari today, a 355, and a 993 Carrera RS....will post once I get a few more other cars to go with them. :D

[enigmatic]
