Here are my latest sightings....well actually from a couple of weeks ago mainly (nothing like TT's ~ 8 month queue :P ).

Luckily I caught this 575 flying down the main street in the city – lovely sound, and afterwards I heard him rumbling in an underground carpark….. :drool:

SLK55 AMG at the petrol station, I left the plates on the 2nd picture – do you think he actually knows what the model name of his car is? :lol:

Another ‘55’ – this time a CLK in my favourite location. :D

Mercedes-Benz S600 – V12 beast, and the first I can remember seeing actually. :D

CLS350 – first of the 350’s I’ve seen, and also in an unusual colour. :) The owners were already inside, hence only one pic. :wink:

Bentley Continental GT – this one was ‘caught’ 70km south of Perth. :wink: The plates would have been a bit difficult to blank out neatly – so I didn’t. :D

Another stunning Maser 3200GT – it looks kinda green in the pics but its actually dark blue. :wink:

I was inspired by TT’s underground carpark pics so I’ve been looking myself – so far this Evo VIII is the best I’ve come up with. :) It was also a good chance to try out my new tripod. :wink:

The usual Cayenne Turbo – why are they all black or grey? :?

A few more of the yellow 996TT from a few weeks ago – just got it in a better location and couldn’t resist taking a few more pics. :wink:

Nice pic's as usual Dingo, love the aussie sightings!

Especially the AMG's!

You need to come over to Melbourne and goto Telstra Dome in the Medallion club carpark. Some very nice cars down there :)

Nice to see some new pics of your favourite location. The background scenery is just fantastic!

The 575 pics is very nice. Btw, the 'transperth' for a bus name is quite a good one.
I love the yellow 996TT pics too and of course the 3200 GT still looks beautiful.

Seems you're getting the hang out it, you keep on spotting more and more exclusive cars every month!

This time the CLK55 was too far up the road so I couldn't get a good shot with the entire skyline in the background, but still nice. :)

Good to see you noticed the Transperth sign - whats the equivalent over there? Transbelgium? :P

Haha.....the owner was a ~ 25yo Asian guy, so maybe he is still learning the English language. :P

I do plan a trip to Melbournce eventually to visit some of the dealerships and 'hotspots'.
For now you could visit the carpark with your camera and share them with us..... :wink:

LOL, no they are calling it TransIcancrossthiscountryin15minutes.
j/k It's actually called 'The Line' in the Flemish part, but that prolly doesn't have the same connotation in English is in Dutch. Nevertheless it isn't by far as good as Transperth :)

awesome update dingo :D

nice shooting at your fav place (I have to ask the major of Zürich to built a similar carparking close to the lake with Zürich skyline in the background )

LOL about the plates of the LSK...KLS... :SHOCK:

Haha, maybe I should start a topic to see what they are called in different countries - and then have a poll to pick the best one. :P

Not a bad idea about the carpark - get a petition going and you never know. :)

I have another Conti GT in my next update, in a different colour again. :wink:
