I HEARD a F430 in Sydney this morning coming towards me while waiting for my car to come pick me at the hotel..

Then as coming to the lights near me it was down shifting one of the best noises in the world.

Followed by a slaughtering of a take off.. That thing is PORN!!!

It had trader plates so the person driving must have been loving it considering it wasn't his car :D

Very dark grey Lambo followed me along Alexandra Parade, he gave it a squirt as he went past then turned into the dealership on Chapel St. Had trade plates on, looked like the new dark grey one I have seen pics of floating around in Europe but could be wrong. :)

Aston Martin DB9 and some other strange looking Aston Martin with a hideous chrome mesh grille and air dam (don't have the faintest what it was), both going down the South Gippsland Fwy and the Mooruduc at separate times today.

at a very rich friends 21st the other week.. his dad had just 4 of his ~40 cars on show in the garage (complete with hoist!)

*AC Cobra x 2

*Aston Martin DB5 [only one in Aus, recently stolen then recovered, i think it was reported in the news?]

*Bugatti Type 35

i estimated about $2.5mil from these cars alone... couldnt believe it!! pics to come

ps. the house is an enormous unit in caulfield, sorta along Dandenong road if anyone knows the area

Stolen car was a DB4 GT, apparently recovered due to complete idiocy on part of the thieves rather than good police work.

ah, that's the one. as i said im mates with the owner's son and he had told me it was a db5.

still porn nonetheless..

Ah right, probably why I didn't recognise the badge. I don't think I've ever seen one before. Creamish coloured interior, old guy driving it (and driving it annoyingly well under the speed limit.) I liked the rear and side profile of it, front was a bit meh.

Bentley Continental

Twin Turbo W12 goodness (but slower than an F430 in roll on drag race...... apparently)

However, it is faster than an Aston Martin DB9 in a roll on drag race... apparently :dry:

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
