Default Ferrari 308GTSi Photoshoot on the foreshore

Well normally you can't get cars onto the foreshore grass like we did for these photos - but there was a 4WD Show on and they opened up the grassed area for parking. They fenced off around it so you couldn't get close to the water - but they didn't consider a Ferrari which could fit under the fencing.

So we got there early in the morning to avoid security and managed to get all the photos done without any trouble. Two other Ferraris (328GTS and 308GTBi) also turned up, plus a Commodore so they will come in another update.

EDIT: Oh yes and I did get a short ride in this car too, but I'm pretty used to the 308/328's now.

All 23 high-res pics can be viewed on my website :arrow: www.ozcarsightings.com

Some preview pics.....

Haha, nice one

Really a unique opportunity to take some superb pics. And you not only fulfilled your duties, you also excelled them. I haven't time to watch them all in detail but (will do it later), but as far as my first view is concerned, the pics are just too lick your fingers off, stunning!

Great pics as usual! 8) I think the car is over-tyred it looks odd in the rear section in the profile pic - as if the car was shrunk or something

If someone wants one then they can ask for the original resolution version of the photo.

The owner of this car plans to use one of them to make a poster at his office, so that will be nice.

BTW, where in Australia are you from?

^^^
that's great news!


I've now watched them all in detail. Man, they are awesome. The scenery is just perfect: red car, green gras, blue water and a nice skyline in the back. And the quality is just great. It's really hard to pick a winner, I like them all

Superb job! I can't wait for the next update

Dingo u rule dude, these pics are awesome!! I didnt quite understand though why you had difficulties in taking the pics at that spesific place... As for the rims.. these belong to the 575 Panam. right?.. IMO they dont fit in the 308/328.. The original 5 spoke ones are the BEST!
