Default Ferrari Club Breakfast Drive (512TR, 360's, 328, 993, Elise)

Last Sunday we got an early start and headed out into the country to a very scenic winery for a catered breakfast.

The usual bunch of cars turned up, but we also got a couple of newbies - the Victorian 512TR and the red 360.

We had perfect weather (as usual :prr: ) for the 1.5hr drive to get there, and some great roads too.

I was passenger in the 993 Carrera on the way out and then as I mentioned in the Porsche Section I drove the car back home ( http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=43815 )

Wonderful morning, looking forward to the next drive.

All 21 high-res pics can be viewed on my website :arrow: www.ozcarsightings.com

Nice 360, needs the challenge grill though..


The infamous purple 360..


Hot 512TR with 512M wheels!


My friends 328

The Porsche that popped my cherry.....

Do you have waterproof watches in Australia ??
well, maybe for surfing


I agree, a challenge grill would improve the 360 a lot
the Elics looks like a chafer on the soil
the purple 360 in the sunlight,
my favourite is the 365GT, suits perfect to a vineyard

Thanks for the pics dingo

I like the shot of the 360 in front of the vineyard! Thanks for the pics ... gotta say the purple Ferrari is not to my taste.

Its a Porsche 993 colour and it was ordered that way from the factory for an extra $15K, the current owner is the 2nd so he bought it like that.

Interesting purple colour, but it's special. The rest of the cars are fantastic!

I think the purple suits the 360 very well, actually. And a veeeeeeeeeeeeery nice 993, there.

I agree that purple suits the 360 well. It's kinda sad to get used to 360's. Seeing one in a unique color seems to bring back some excitement to the model for me. Although, I live in one of those towns where you get used to seeing Ferrari's all over the place.

If I had the Rex with me I woulda loved to have unleashed the 320hp on those "roads"...

You can see him quite often on Stirling Hwy in the Nedlands/Claremont area.

Yeah the winery is just amazing, will be heading back for photos with my car sometime soon I think.
