My first 997 on the road - unfortunately it wasn't in the best spot for pics so in some of them it looks like the car is half orange :? Anyway I am sure I'll get it again since the owner lives in the apartment block next to mine - so he isn't safe :twisted:

This is the third Continental GT I have seen, but the first one I managed to get pics of. I have to thank my brother for that - he called me and said he had seen an Aston Martin so I rushed to the scene and discovered it wasn't an AM but this instead - still made me happy though :D

Lotus Esprit, I saw him coming from a distance and at first thought it was a F355....but this will do and it also makes a great sound :shock:

haha....if you have a 997 around here you can do what you want :P Seriously though, he owns a restuarant nearby so I think he probably has permission to park there :wink:

I like the Maserati 3200GT pictures, in these pics , the car looks very futuristic ( with the dark windows) ...

the Conti GT and the red 997 are beautiful.
very nice set of pictures as always, specially the ones with the skyline of Perth are nice :D

the pic of that STI is sweet!!!

looks like he went down to the drag races aswell, (by the number on his windshield)

HSV Coupe4 awsome, i don't think i have seen one of them yet, or i have seen it and not thought anything of it.. not sure

Some nice pics again, Dingo. The red looks pretty good on the 997. Though you won't see them a lot in this colour. Some great angles you choose to take some pics of that 3200 GT, and the same goes for the M3 pics. Besides, I love the STi pic with the Perth skyline in the back!

that 997 looks sexy. I wouldn't think that red suits that car so good....

The Maser is just perfect. Those rear lights were the best feature on that car....

Nice angles on the M3.

Thx a bunch for the pics.......they're great! 8)

its only the second one I have seen....the other was a silver one at work but didn't manage to get any pics of it :( I like the car, but the thing that annoys me about it is that you can't switch the TCS off - ruins the fun :(
