Umm... this was those OMFG! moments.
Today, was chatting to a friend after school and a DB9 drove past... seen a fair few of them now, and I've seen that same one at school after soccer. Now, I took a look at the driver... A teacher! :shock: Yeah... I didn't have my mobile on me, but hopefully I can get a few pics after soccer one day.

:o Do teachers get decent salaries over there in Australia? Because teachers over here have terrible salaries.

Nah, teacher salaries are average. I'm still in disbelief! It may have been a look-alike, but a friend thought the same.

-edit: It was a lookalike, some kid's father is a real estate developer or something and he has 7 prestige and supercars.

Damn striker. I go to a "Catholic" school, so it's not that rich. We've got good facilities and every class has projectors, but nothing fancy or wow. Our tennis courts are crap as a matter of fact :x . Bad to play on. Yeah, one guy has the DB9 and 6 other supercars/luxury cars, other than that, you may see a new car occasionally, lol.

I saw a black, slammed Impala on the way home today... 'twas beautiful.

@baumaxx-Note, I'm (well, my family) not that rich. I just got a scholarship there so I go for 1/4 of the standard price ($16,000 per annum). So, only $4000 is wasted every year. Trust me, you don't want to go to my school. Half the people there are cocky and rich.

Random comment-my parents drive a Honda CR-V, Honda Civic and Mitsubishi Lancer...

Well, another day, another car-Ferrari 360 spider... (red)

Some amphibious tour bus I spotted in New Zealand, not cool but still unique.

Image

A Stagea, AMV8 and tweaked S14. All awesome cars, even though one was a shopping trolley.

Image

A 1967 Porsche 911, spotted in our hotel's garage. The photo doesn't justify how beautiful it looked in silver.

Image

A 1927 Bugatti Type 35B in a museum, the sexiest car out of them all.

New Zealand has tons of supercars, but since most were spotted while on a bus I couldn't get many pictures of them.

Recently spotted in the local vicinity..

Image

The best looking luxo-barge of them all.

I've seen 3 V8 Vantages and 2 DB9s altogether on the road. And at school soccer yesterday-911 997 GT3!!! AWE! SHOCK!

plus a nice R34 plus a few Cayennes.

And as for Maseratis, for some reason in Eltham (if anybody knows where that is...), on my street, there's been 8 Quattroportes and 7 Gransports so far, as well as 2 M6s (1 convertable and 1 couple), 2 "regular" 6-series, and a lot more BMWs...

Spotted a Maserati Granturismo yesterday.
My friend spotted another one just 2 weeks ago or so.
That's really something because you don't see many really expensive cars around (as in new exotics).
And the Granturismo starts at something like 223k€ over here.

Naww.
I was thinking of taking a picture out of the bus window with my cellphone, because we were stuck in traffic lights next to it for a while but I thought that the pic would look crappy so I didn't.

May I just ask what's the exchange rate between Euro and AUD at the moment?

Anyhow, nice 997 Targa 4S turned up at my school this morning (soccer), and I almost literally drooled over it...

Hello! Has anybody sighted a R8 on the road recently? Just yesterday, saw it cruising around Ivanhoe again...

And on the Age (newspaper), in the Drive section, there was an ad for a red R8, for immediate sale, think it was $349,000.

Also, saw a SL55 AMG... :D :D :D =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~

2 days ago I saw a true cool Porsche.

a 1973 911 Carrera RS in white with blue decals and wheels.

Together with a other early '70s 911S Targa.

I could not take a pic because I was driving myself and they passed me on the highway.
