Well normally you can't get cars onto the foreshore grass like we did for these photos - but there was a 4WD Show on and they opened up the grassed area for parking. They fenced off around it so you couldn't get close to the water - but they didn't consider a Ferrari which could fit under the fencing. :P

So we got there early in the morning to avoid security and managed to get all the photos done without any trouble. Two other Ferraris (328GTS and 308GTBi) also turned up, plus a Commodore so they will come in another update. :wink:

EDIT: Oh yes and I did get a short ride in this car too, but I'm pretty used to the 308/328's now. :)

Haha, nice one :D

Really a unique opportunity to take some superb pics. And you not only fulfilled your duties, you also excelled them. I haven't time to watch them all in detail but (will do it later), but as far as my first view is concerned, the pics are just too lick your fingers off, stunning!

Great pics as usual! 8) I think the car is over-tyred it looks odd in the rear section in the profile pic - as if the car was shrunk or something :D

If someone wants one then they can ask for the original resolution version of the photo. :wink:

The owner of this car plans to use one of them to make a poster at his office, so that will be nice. :D

BTW, where in Australia are you from?

that's great news!


I've now watched them all in detail. Man, they are awesome. The scenery is just perfect: red car, green gras, blue water and a nice skyline in the back. And the quality is just great. It's really hard to pick a winner, I like them all :lol:

Superb job! I can't wait for the next update ;)

Dingo u rule dude, these pics are awesome!! I didnt quite understand though why you had difficulties in taking the pics at that spesific place... As for the rims.. these belong to the 575 Panam. right?.. IMO they dont fit in the 308/328.. The original 5 spoke ones are the BEST!

Thanks for the comments guys. :D

....I didnt quite understand though why you had difficulties in taking the pics at that spesific place...

We had diffuculties because the place we took the pics is not open for cars, its only for people to walk and ride bikes etc.

... As for the rims.. these belong to the 575 Panam. right?....

If you mean the SuperAmerica then no they are different, but similar. :wink:

Great pictures from you again! The colours are so bright, I almost need to wear sunglasses to look at them!

While I was there, I had a peek at the rest of your pictures as well, and it's all great! I loved the Bora pictures for instance.

I love the updated wheels! That car has really stood the test of time for us to be still gawking at it.

Thanks for the pics!
