beaver, yeah it does look very familiar and I've already been to Barbagallo a while back and posted the pics: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14456

But when I was at Audi I went over there and had a look in the window and saw they now have 2 red 360's (and the silver 355 is still there) and a Bentley Continental GT....no room left on memory card though so no photo's, but you could take them for us.

BTW, it is my aim to get a photo of every nice car in Perth one way or another.

Hi guys, i have a ton of pics taken here on the other side of the country - do you want me to post some? Continental GT's, audi rally cars, m3's and csl, lotus. seems Aus does have some nice exotics afterall

dingo · 08-26-2004, 10:43 PM

yes please post them, would love to see them....where are you at, Sydney?

I would open a separate topic though, don't post them in here otherwise alot of people probably won't see them since they've already been in this thread.

Nice pics! Just one question: Isn't the Turbo a 996T, with the GT2 being a 996TT?

I'm not to sure, you could be right. It was a twin-turbo 996-series Porsche so I thought thats what 996TT denoted. I'm sure one of our Porsche experts will fill us in.

The 996 Turbo has two Turbos

I think also that the red colour helps a lot the S4 also, although i prefer the grey silver for it

I thought the GT2 has two turbos and the Turbo has one. But I was still right about the GT2, right? Or does that have a single turbo?

dingo · 08-28-2004, 03:43 AM

The GT2 does have two turbos, but so does the 996 Turbo....but then 996T doesn't seem right because to me that indicates 1 turbo, not two.

Are you going to the special stages or the forrest stages (or both)? I'm not sure if I'll be going this year, have to see what happens.
Where is this Viper, I wanna see it.....only ever seen one and that was some time ago.

those pics beaver posted would be mine 8)
unfortuantly the gallardo was parked with its nose right in the corner of the window preventing me from getting any shots from the front. argh!

another photo of that a4. ive got more if anyone is interested. very nice - shame it was only the 2L...

and some more of that gallardo action;

interior shot of the s4 also at the audi dealer in osbourne park. i found it to be a little underwhelming

i've also payed a visit to westpoint start mercedes recently to check out the new little SLK. but maybe i should post a new topic dedicated to that excursion.
would a few slk pics be worthy?

dingo · 08-29-2004, 06:53 AM

I noticed the Lambo was in a bad position for beaver (or you), so I was lucky when I took those pics they had moved it into a more photo-friendly position.

enigmatic, you might as well start a new topic and post the pics, people around here can't get enough.
Do Westpoint Star have any AMG cars at the moment? They had an AMG display weekend a couple of months back with some very nice cars, but I didn't have a camera back then so no pics. :cry:

enigmatic · 08-29-2004, 07:20 AM

yeah looks like i'll have to slap a new mini-topic together 8)
no AMG models at the moment... not any that i noticed, atleast.
we recieved an invite for that particular weekend, and dropped by to have an ogle.
they bring a heap of AMG models over from the eastern states for a weekend once a year.
SL55, C32, E55, CL55 (not 65!) etc were all there.

dad took the w211 E55 for a drive. himself, and the salesman, both gave it a good strapping! the salesman even getting some wheelspin taking a backstreet corner pretty swiftly, only the t/c being the party-pooper

to this day, one of the fastest-feeling cars i've ever had the privelige of travelling in. amazing!

i had some photos... might have to dig them up.
might have been more than a couple of months ago, too.

Thats sounds like fun.....didn't get a test-drive myself. :cry:
I can't remember when it was exactly, probably more than a couple of months now that I think about it. I went to the Diesel Motors showroom in Bentley on a Friday (I think) and I was just about the only one in there....not enough 'fans' in this state I dont think.
