Awesome photos That Ferrari is just incredible

That car must have cost a leg, an arm, and some other body parts to import in to Australia. You guys have luxury tax in Australia as well right ? That would take some serious out lay ....

Who owns it ? Allan Bond ?

or maybe Kevin Blood Wilson ?

yeah it would have been very expensive. i think they are about $500,000. i had a chat with the guy, (didnt recognise him as anyone famous) apparenty this is just a toy. I want a half million dollar toy!!
we do have a stupid luxury car tax. 33% for any car over $57,000. so that means you have to pay luxury car tax on a Toyota Landcruiser!!!
anyway, one thing that the pictures dont/cant display is the sound that ferrari made.... just beautiful... a v8 at 8000rpm!!!

well lads i will have to correct you!! it was an old Alfa Romeo GTV and it really sounded the business at the start of the day, but was sounding a little worse for wear when i left (after 1 1/2 hours!!!). I was expecting to see atleast 1 e30 out there, but was slightly dissapointed when there was none. not any BMW's at all. Oh well atleast mine will be 'something different' when it is done
