Perth sightings (Conti GT & FS, SLK55, 996TT, 4200....)
 
Its back to regular street sightings after the excitement of Alice Springs :bah: , most of these being taken a few weeks before the trip. :wink:

There have been some nice cars I’ve missed lately – 355 Berlinetta, Gemballa Cayenne and a TVR Tamora (the last 2 I had never seen before anywhere)



I’ve been seeing a lot of these lately, luckily in a variety of colours :D

A couple of cars in the customer parking at the BMW dealer:

645Ci :love:

and the enemy – SLK55 AMG :P

SL500, quite a common colour for it here actually:

and its little brother the SL350 (only really took the pic so I could use my tripod :) )

Bentley Continental Flying Spur (longest car name in history :P ) – sitting outside at the dealer on a Sunday morning. :D

Cayenne S, don’t usually take pics of them but it looked so cool in the rain. :D

Cayenne Turbo – common around here, but not in white!

I never realised Mazda’s MX-5’s were so small :P

Some very nice sightings! Thanks man!

Dingo, I'm still shocked by the Alice Spring post (the best of the 7548 post I browsed since my return :wink: )
I liked the Bentley pics most, this shape of the car is very nice (probabely I mentioned this before)
Saved also the white Cayenne, never saw a white one on the road yet.

Thanks for the bunch of sightings

Nice sightings. Seems like Bentleys are selling well in Perth, though the ContiFS is still registered in the UK. Never saw one though in that colour before. Not the nicest paint job for a ConntiFS imo.

My favourite pic is the first one of the 930 Turbo.

Yes me too, and these pics are a disappointment in comparison to them. :D

You should have seen the small lady driving trying to get in and out - a ladder would have helped. :P

Nice sightings dude and your picture quality is always so good :) I am slowly starting to love the COnti Flying Spur :)

dingo 08-24-2005 04:02 AM

I still can't get used to the BCFS (thats easier then writing it all :P ) - the front is ok but the back just looks akward. :?

possessed_beaver 08-25-2005 10:36 AM

i rely do not like the colour on that E36 M3 :(

love the 996!
