Italian Car Day (Lambo's, Ferrari's, Alfa's, Maserati's...)
 

Unfortunately the turnout wasn't as good as expected, with only about 20 Ferrari's and 5 Lambo's....there was suppose to be a 550 Barchetta which I was really looking forward to seeing. Its a shame since there are other Ferrari's I have seen on the street (550, 575 HGTC....etc) which would have enhanced the show :(
To make it worse the conditions were crap for taking pics (LOTS of sun and people) but I tried my best and here are the ones I found acceptable :)

A couple of Alfa Romeo's, there were tons there but I didn't take pics of many since I am not that big a fan of them :wink:

Diablo VT and 25th Anniversary Countach, owned by the same guy (and his wife has a F348 Spider) :shock:

and the star of the show (IMO), one of only 5 RHD 40th Anniversary Murcielago's in the world and the lone one in Australia :D I have seen it once before at a Ferrari meeting but it still blew me away this time :love:

:D , very nice set of pictures!
Still a large number of italien cars in one place, and on gras the photos are different than the ones on the road
I specially like the ones you've taken from the ground like

http://img150.exs.cx/img150/3878/fer...ena20jx.th.jpg

Thanks for sharing them with us

awsome pics dingo thx ..
btw what was the release number of the 40se ?? .. yea know ??/50 (what do yea call that) :?:

I'm not sure as I couldn't get close enough to have a look :( The last time I saw it I was able to get as close as possible put forgot to check :oops:

awesome pics,especially love the anniversary murcialago.looks fantastic,and the 355 is also very nice,still the best lookin ferrari made IMO

and the guy with the purple 360 modena sure gets around doesnt he,LOL

Just marvellous! The cars are well spaced, the colors are cool!! And not too many curious around! The pics with Diablo and Countach together are great!

it just looks that way, if you saw all the pics I had to delete because of people walking through/into my shots it would be different :P

Wow. Maybe not every one expected turned up, but this still is an impressive collection of Italians!! The 40th Anniversary Murcié defenitely is the star of the show. I also really like the f355 (who wouldn't? ;)), the Ghibili's and the Shamal. Judging from the pics, there was idd a lot of sunshine. But most of the pics are still really great. This one is my favourite:

thanks Wutputt - and yes I was very happy with how that pic turned out :D I actually showed a few to a Gallardo owner on another board and he was impressed and said if I ever come to town he would let me do a 'photoshoot' of his car :shock:

You defenitely have to do that!!! Must be awesome to be able to shoot pics of a car in all peace without people walking in front of the camera, and without artificial light like in dealerships. I'll predict those pics will be amazing! :D

A lot of saliva has been spilt around the world this weekend... :D Wow!! (third thread in a row)

Obviously I love every single car, but the ones that struck me as the most amazing were the 40th Anniversary Murciélago, the Uracco and of course the Shamal! That Maserati is such a cool car. And you're 100% right about the sound, dingo. I remember that very well! :shock:

Too right :D!!

Awesome pics, thanks dingo! :D

Great pix dingo !

You are lucky to be able to see several rare Italian cars at this show. :D
