Sept 14-16 (4 Porsches, 2 NSX's, Jags, modded Monaro...)
Its been a pretty good few days around here (for Perth anyway), so here is what I came up with (no true exotics really):
A silver 996 Carrera, don’t see too many 996’s in Perth:
and what do you know, another 996 Carrera:
A combo shot of two beasts, not sure which one I prefer  :
..and another one, haven’t seen this many Porsches (996) before:
Another Porsche, this time a Cayenne S:
A couple of Honda NSX’s….bit late on the red one:
A Jag XK8 convetible, that must be the ugliest ‘roof’ I’ve seen:
and a coupe, the XK8 is the flavour of the month here…seen so many:
Another combo shot, two of BMW’s finest…. an M3 and 735l:
BMW 745Li:
A wild Monaro (yay, I finally got something the European JW 'hunters' will not see  ):
Some American muscle, anyone know what type of Corvette this is exactly?
Another miss, a 3200 Maserati and also an Alfa which I didn’t see till after I took the pic:
An RX8:
A modded Supra:
A shitty shot of an E500:
and finally a 350Z:

Maybe he hasn't got around to changing the wheels yet.
If I remember correctly though he used to have different rims, as he works in the area and I think I saw it with something different....but I could be wrong.

Thanks a million dingo22 for the very good set of pics....the sight of the pics and Perth are marvellous, in addition, the NSX and the 911 look great as usual, the Monaro looks good although the car without the black sticker and the back wing it would look astonishing once the red colour is great, i share the opinion with you dingo that the brown roof doesnt suit the jag very well, IMO the most proper roof colour for this car and the cabrios in general is just the usual black one...finally i dont like the modded cars such as the supra and the corvette shown in your pics

I have a FujiFilm Finepix A607, its more than good enough for my needs.
I prefer the 350Z....think it looks nicer and also sounds better IMO.

Are you sure, that other car sure looks menacing.

Lots of people over here put Chevy badges on their Holdens.

Yeah it would be a tough decision between that bike and the Porsche. I guess it would depend on the weather
And that is a normal C4 Corvette with some crappy ass Bodykit.
Also sorry to burst your bubble but the European boys can spot the Monaro there since it is sold there as a Vauxhall VXR or something and in the states the GTO and something else in the Middle East so the car isn't all that exclusive.

735? I guess that's another car they don't bring to the States, I guess they figure Americans wouldn't want to spend that much money on a car with only a 3.5L I-6(?).
Nice pics, it looks like the Chevy emblem was glued onto the hood of that Monaro.

The engine in all the current V8 Holdens is a Chevy Gen III, so they think its pretty much a Chevy anyway...hence the logo.

I don't appreciate the comment about the bike at all....LOL.
Thanks for the info on the Vette....and the Monaro thing was meant as a littel joke....which obviously didn't work.

It has a 3.6L V8, which produces 200kW...but still very expensive at $178K (~ 125K).
