Very cool. It's a shame the cost of one of those cars is just ludicrous thanks to the tax over there.

Yep. I could see the price tag on the V12 Vantage S - $430k.

Fantastic pics ttribe! Please post more if you can, if not here then in a Melbourne thread. Holdens always fascinated me. It's what GM should've done here back in the day before they finally brought over the old GTO. It's funny how other countries do dealers. Most dealers I've seen are usually in bunches and in a HUGE piece of land for the inventory rather than buildings. Saw the same in Dom Rep with all the dealers being in buildings or in a random neighborhood and tiny.

The only other car-related one I have is this one (below) from my cell phone of a Holden SS Highway Patrol car...pretty cool:

crazy fact, all the cars in the first 5 images are owned by one person, the owner of that store there - Weather Tech - he owns some 40-50 Porsches, including race cars. And that is just the Porsche segment of his collection

Here's a link for maybe that very Interscope racing car showing a down to bare chassis restoration. Pretty amazing attention to detail

I don't know - it's hard enough to keep track of all the shows as it is - I usually go by bits I see on FB and then try to remember - if its a show I really want to attend I will set a reminder

If that Porsche show had a GT1; game over. Wouldn't get better than that.

*Waits for Srika to confirm there is one*

Taken through the glass at Ferrari of the Woodlands....
First time I've seen an Enzo in person. A lot smaller than I always imagined it.

I have taken a dedent number of pics since my last post, but didn't find the motivation to come post them. Seeing an F12 just sitting on the side of the road and actually getting an in-focus iPhone shot changed that. This is pure sex. WAY better looking than the 599. I actually thought it was a new model California at first since I'm unfamiliar with the F12 and the 599 was so bloated.




Supposedly it's there pretty regularly.

So I had to take my car into the shop for some minor body damage, and saw this while I was there.

Ouch!

Two very nice cars, made cooler by the fact that I spotted them in the tiny town in northern WI where we vacation.

^^^ Hey, you're pretty good at this.

You should try to make a hobby out of it or something.
