Default Classics in the Park - Ferrari, Maser, DeTomaso etc

This event took place a couple of weekends ago, and despite 150-200 cars I wasn't too interested to be honest.

A couple of reasons:

1. I woke up on the morning of the event on some girls couch wearing a turban, two moustaches and her swimming goggles......don't ask!
2. Alot of the cars at the show I've seen previously, and alot of them were just crap - I mean they had a CLK320 there. :roll:
3. It started to rain halfway through which put me off even more.....

Anyway I still managed 39 pics so hopefully you'll enjoy them.

All 39 high-res pics can be viewed on my website :arrow: www.ozcarsightings.com

Audi RS6


E30 M3......its for sale ARMAN, should I buy it for you?


A couple of old DeTomaso's - a Longchamp and Deauville.



F430, Testarossa and 308 GT4



3200GT.....I love yellow cars!!!


3500 GT Vignale


Mexico


Maserati 425i - twin turbo V6, and the only RHD ever made amongst the 44 ever produced. :shock:


TVR Griffith 500...

Ok, somebody should explan me how a CLK or a RS6 could be considered "classics".. but well, same goes for a 430 anyway, I really appreciate the old Maser pics! THANKS! And not bad to have a cloudy sky for once! Less problems with trees' shadows on the cars!

VERY nice pics, thanks!

LOL, I did think the same - but their slogan is "Celebration of the Motorcar" so I suppose you need some modern ones to show how things have progressed.

If I get this right, in Australia a car is labelled 'classic' if it's more than 1 month old?

My favourite out of this bunch is the classic 3200 GT in yellow. Man it looks so hot! And the tour de france is such a nice colour for the classic F430 Spider. Still worth the visit IMO, you came back with some nice pics!

Ok, tell me in detail how you ended up with a girl's swimming goggles around your testicles

LOL, I can't explain it......all I know is I saw her doing laps at the pool the next day wearing the same goggles - poor girl!

She still has a pic of me on her phone like that, so lets hope it doesn't "leak" onto the net and make me a star!

Apparently 401. They were rare and pricey new, but they are even rarer now due to the rust stuff.
