Default Perth sightings (355, 360, GT3)

These are a few cars I've seen over the past few days.
The 355 GTS was at a second-hand luxury car place, they mostly have BMW's and Mercs but today when I drove past I noticed the little beauty in the window so I had to stop.
At another second-hand place that specializes in Porsches I saw a GT3, but the damn place is so cramped I could barely take any pics...so I just posted the two that look half decent. :cry:
Finally we have a 360 that belongs to the boss of a big finance company in Perth....he also has the 5-series in the last pic and a Rolls-Royce (which wasn't in the carpark) plus probably more that I'm not aware of.....yet.

355 (my car is in the background):








GT3:




360:

I think most of it is, but I live in the nicer area where there are plenty of rich people.

Yeah the dealers were fine with it, he even asked if I was interested in buying the car (the 355)....he looked serious, like its normal that a 22yo with a camera driving a Commodore comes in to buy a Ferrari. Maybe if you didn'tturn up at 3am yo would have got a better reception, I try to visit during daylight...lol.
Where is that Audi dealership, is it the one in Osborne Park near Alf Barbagallo?

actually car dealers are taught not to be judgemental. lot of rich guys rock up to dealers in shorts and t-shirt not $1000 armani suits. plus they never know if you're rich or have a rich daddy. selling cars are a lot tougher so they welcome everyone unless you look like a complete bum

PB: i know living cost is low, my parents just went there and laughed at a guy for complainig parking meter was too expensive.

Good man dingo, for instance the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pics of the 355 look awesome, the quality of them is very accomplished, and the shine of these pics cannot suit better them

I went there today and I saw the Gallardo, but they have just sold the RS6 so I missed it. I took some pics and will post them within the next few days.

I have been to Barbagallo a while ago and already posted the pics here:
