Perth sightings (355, 360, GT3)
 
These are a few cars I've seen over the past few days.
The 355 GTS was at a second-hand luxury car place, they mostly have BMW's and Mercs but today when I drove past I noticed the little beauty in the window so I had to stop.
At another second-hand place that specializes in Porsches I saw a GT3, but the damn place is so cramped I could barely take any pics...so I just posted the two that look half decent. :cry:
Finally we have a 360 that belongs to the boss of a big finance company in Perth....he also has the 5-series in the last pic and a Rolls-Royce (which wasn't in the carpark) plus probably more that I'm not aware of.....yet. :wink:

and a lambo i took ages ago.. from the audi dealership (shocking picture i know!)

where the dealers pretty cool with u just taking pics, one time i went the the merc dealership at 3 in the morning, and the securety guard went off, thought we where going to steal them or something!

dingo 08-25-2004 04:01 AM

Yeah the dealers were fine with it, he even asked if I was interested in buying the car (the 355)....he looked serious, like its normal that a 22yo with a camera driving a Commodore comes in to buy a Ferrari. :D Maybe if you didn'tturn up at 3am yo would have got a better reception, I try to visit during daylight...lol. :wink:
Where is that Audi dealership, is it the one in Osborne Park near Alf Barbagallo?

im sure every 22 yr old driving Commodores just waltz in to buy Ferraris paid in cash :lol: i wouldnt mind having that 325 either. BTW is that your car outside on the 1st pic?

mindgam3 08-25-2004 04:13 AM

Thanks dude! The F355 rocks!!

Mopsdrops 08-25-2004 05:47 AM

wow, thank you ! the F355 is stunning, yellow is great with it, it's nice with almost every color :)

stracing 08-25-2004 06:27 AM

actually car dealers are taught not to be judgemental. lot of rich guys rock up to dealers in shorts and t-shirt not $1000 armani suits. plus they never know if you're rich or have a rich daddy. selling cars are a lot tougher so they welcome everyone unless you look like a complete bum

PB: i know living cost is low, my parents just went there and laughed at a guy for complainig parking meter was too expensive.

Ford Capri 2.8i 08-25-2004 08:24 AM

Good man dingo, for instance the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pics of the 355 look awesome, the quality of them is very accomplished, and the shine of these pics cannot suit better them

sikx5 08-25-2004 08:29 AM

Nice pics dude, do you remeber the price on that 355? and how many KM by anychance?

I went there today and I saw the Gallardo, but they have just sold the RS6 so I missed it. I took some pics and will post them within the next few days.

I have been to Barbagallo a while ago and already posted the pics here:

to top it off, he has a different supermodel-quality girlfriend every time i've seen him! :twisted:

dingo 08-29-2004 07:17 AM

Are you and beaver competing or something, because you have now twice posted the same (or nearly) pictures as him? :?

enigmatic 08-29-2004 07:43 AM

hahah noo! lets clarify, shal we? :wink:
i see alot of cars. i take alot of photos.
i send photos to beaver regularly for his personal interests.
he posts here much more regularly than myself, and posts some of my photos. the ones in question here, for example.

i've simply contributed with further photos from that particular 'collection' -- photos of which i may have never sent him. 8)

btw dingo, good to see another perthian among us! lovin your work! comforting to know beaver and myself aren't the only guys in this fare city pissing off salespeople with our digital cameras! :)

dingo 08-29-2004 07:51 AM

ok, thanks for clearing that up. :D
I didn't know we were called Perthians, but I like it....lol. :D
I don't think I've pissed off any salepeople yet, but that might change by the 10th time I visit their showroom. :wink:
BTW, is that your WRX in the sig?

enigmatic 08-29-2004 08:04 AM

Perthians... the result of a spontaneous burst of creativity :P
indeed it is.

dingo 08-29-2004 08:18 AM

looks nice, and quick by the sounds of it. Are we gonna get some pics at anytime? :wink:

enigmatic 08-29-2004 08:29 AM

thanks; yeah she goes ok.
to be honest, i've never really taken the time to get any decent photos!
i'll have to find a nice scenic setting and get some to share! :wink:

beaver's been in it alot, you could ask him for any '3rd-party' impressions.

dingo 08-29-2004 08:37 AM

I might do that, or how about you drop it off at my place and I'll get a hands-on impression....give it back in a week or so. :wink:

yes many memories in that, some involving northbridge tunnel, and many times spend sideways in the eirly morning.

nxt time we are out, we will get decent pics.

samtek 08-29-2004 10:32 PM

great ferraris, they are so sexy, just amazing dude !!!

sentra_dude 08-29-2004 11:48 PM

That 355 looks wonderful in blue...not a very common color, but I'm surprised we don't see it more, it seems to fit the car so well.
