Trend, can I take a guess?


The obvious trend I see is boat anchors wrapped in a barge :p

Some great cars on this thread.

I'd probably go with the Koenigsegg CCXR

But I reserve the right to change my mind later. :)

How about an ex wife that goes by "Fang" and a case of warm beer!!!!!!!!!!!

G'day, Bernie. While I love the Ferrari GTO too, the Ferrari Testa Rossa on my "Sounds of Sebring 1958" is still my favorite. Time for me to fire up that old record and scare my neighbors! Rich

I live in a High Rise...and the underground car park has some nice cars...NOT mine...

Every day we park our XR8 Ute, and Hyundai Getz in our two car parks...and we have these two either side of us.

Lovely guys, but if money was no object....just once I'd like to have something that would impress them.

I'm suffering from "Sports Car envy "

I've got a Ferrari F430 on one side, and an Aston Martin DBS ( Gorgeous car )on the other.

These guys keep asking me when I'm going to finish the new Cobra, so we can all show off....not quite on the same level I'm afraid !!

By the way...The Ferrari owner is actually the unit next door to me on the same floor...and a nice guy...he was about to pay his insurance, and I did some phoning around for him chasing companies that would insure the ferrari, to see if there was much differnce in the insurance premiums.

He was very grateful for my efforts...he ended up being very happy...the difference in the insurance premium was $4,000 !!!
Must be nice to have money !


Cheers,
Warren

Warren, you are one fine upstandin' gent. Play the OZ equivalent of the lottery next week and see your dreams come true.:cool: Cheers, tin-man

So if $4k was the saving, what was the premium?!? I'm almost scared to ask...

For the 250 GTO fans, what an amazing show a couple of months ago with more than half of the world's GTOs in the one location! Ferrari 250 GTO gathering takes over Pebble Beach - Autoblog

bwcobra15 11-10-2011 01:59 PM

'63 Jaguar XKE roadster for my wife
'69 Mach 1 for my son
anything my daughter wants
'57 Corvette for my dad (the one he had to sell when married to my mom)
'70 Country Squire station wagon for my mom (what she made my dad buy)

I'm not sure (and I am not going to figure it out) but I would not be surprised if you couldn't have most of (if not all) of those fine cars for the cost of a GTO.... if cost was no obstacle.....yikes !!! :eek:

Varmit, only if "Fang" is aged between consent and collapse, was still physically active :), and her father owned a brewery.

Only then would I consider her as part payment. :p

BMK 11-12-2011 05:02 AM

Mmmm brewers droop?..:confused:

Wazza I have a neighbor with one of AM's And it sounds awesome. They have a black AMG as well and I wonder how Mercedes get it through the ADrR and noise compliance laws. It also sounds tuff..:eek:

Wazza 11-12-2011 06:04 PM

Yeah Bernie....
The Aston Martin DBS is about the best sounding car I've ever heard.

It really GROWLS....

Mmm see they are parked on the 19th and 20th floor car park sites so they are up high enough to miss the street noise - pity...

Baz 11-23-2011 10:50 PM

My second choice would be this beautiful Maserati 300C. It's an ex Stirling Moss car and is being driven at Fishermans Bend by Bob Jane.

The WallyPower 118 is a high performance luxury superyacht combining high-end technology with a striking design. The sleek yacht lets you cruise swiftly from one destination to another at a speed of 60 knots in both the flat seas and rough waters. The yacht enjoys all the spacious comforts of a mega yacht together with the nautical characteristics of a Coast Guard boat.

The WallyPower is driven by 3 gas turbines, producing a massive 16,800hp of total thrust, and it has two auxiliary diesel engines. The exhaust system is made of titanium that saves weight while being very resistant to the high temperatures generated by the gas turbines.

The WallyPower 118 has a chameleon-like exterior paint that is dark metallic green, but changes with respect to the light, reflections and landscape around it. The deckhouse features a saloon aft, a dining table for 14, relaxing nooks and entertainment areas. While dining, the guests can enjoy the panoramic 360-degree views.

The WallyPower 118 is one of the coolest and the most contemporary yachts I have ever seen, only problem is it won't fit in my garage::rolleyes:

Now back to our regular programming and apologies for the hi-jack..

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
