Spotted these 2 on Saturday...

David Coulthard F1 McLaren on a trailer on Clarendon St

and a red Ford GT out the front of The Clarendon...

I saw that Ford GT as well.

I think the owner was at one of the table outside of the cafe. I walked past the car twice about 30min appart and that guy was still there.

this one time in the city, leaving a club, i looked thru the carpark, and saw a shitload of VERY expensive cars behind a security gate... i should start posting in this thread, i live in toorak, 2doors up is a lambo, an SL55 amg frequents accross the road, porches/audi's(the nice ones)/bmw's(the M ones or the big limo ones) everywhere, AMG's seem to be getting more popular, ferrari 4down accross the road etc

then all the shitters in my apartment block :blink:

and an M3 CSL down the road(my favorite)

and the odd aston too, seen as many on tow trucks as on the road!

Sounds familiar.

I work in Mount Eliza, like a mini Toorak.

The favoured vehicles around here are Porsche, Benz & BMW. Lots of ML's, X5's and Cayenne's.

Just saw a $Mil driving down the road in the form of a Rolls Phantom Drophead. Black with White leather. Top down. Certainly owns the street for looks.

Had an AMG ML63 roar up beside me this morning & drop the kids off.

Aston DB9 in "British Green"... again dropping the kid off *sigh*

Again, sounds too familiar.

The reason they can't drive properly is because the world owes them and everyone bends to their will and focus' on them.

You didn't know this? :)

Ignorant pr*cks.

I just spotted the Redback Spyder tonight on Swanston Street.

Here's the result of what some others thought about it...

One of the funniest things I've seen in many years!

Saw the Redback Spyder on Beyond Tomorrow before. Wonder if anyone actually bought one. I think the owner owns the two in existence?

Props to the builder, but to be honest 350k is a bit steep for an LS1 in a carbon chassis. I think the Joss Supercar looks so much better and is faster, for around the same money. It's also built by an aussie in his "garage". Some of you may remember it from previous motor shows.

Great job spotting the Redback though. The only super-spot that can top that I guess is of one-of-a-kind car. eg., if the sole Maybach Excelero ever comes here . Not sure what other one-of-a-kind road cars there are :cheers:

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
