Supercar Watch Tasmania!

[ThePistonHead]

I wanted to post this thread so that people could report in any exotic/supercars they have spotted in Tassie, because recently there has been many many porsche's, bmw m's etc around. Personally i get a thrill whenever i see a exotic car in the street, because they are just so rare! I'm mostly in the south and have seen/heard about the following recently:

-Black 997 911 Porsche Turbo
-E46 BMW M3 Gold
-Current BMW M6 x2 silver
-3 Audi RS4's, 2 sedans (silver, Grey) and grey wagon
-Yellow Ferrari 360
-Red Ferrari F430

Please feel free to add any. Will post up some pics of them that i have snapped :

Wouldn't have a clue mate, what sort is it?

[adxr8]

I dont know what he has now but before i moved in 97 he had 2 that would come out now and again.

Dont know what they were then either.

[ThePistonHead]

Well i dont think the F430 would be his, but the 360 may be.. i would really like to see a picture of the 360 actually as i have only been told by my brother and not seen it myself.

I know he had a rare one that he stacked, wasn't Targa i dont think but was in a driving event. That was a while back too.

There's loads of BMW's in Launceston, only special ones I've seen though is an Msport coupe. There was a new black porsche similar to the one above around Launceston a while ago too, all I could gather was the "turbo" badge on the back. Also seen a Hummer limousine in Launceston. Dammn, never thought a Aston in tassy though. Also seen a blue R34 GTR on sunday afternoon. I have seen the yellow ferrari that usually resides in the museum around sometimes too.

[Jack91]

Yeah I guess that yellow one is the 360 you are talking about, it has a sticker on it for Mr DingGo from memory.

[Jack91]

And where'd you snap that pic of the red ferrari?

[Jack91]

Geez, I almost forgot about the SVT Cobra mustang in deep red. Lady driver, in Launceston at least once every week. BEAUTIFUL car, not a scratch on it, and the beautiful chromies.

It was in the North Hobart restuarant strip. Elizibeth Street

I've seen the F430 twice now. Very nice and love the number plate.

I know the guy that owns the Audi RS4 Wagon. Have sat in it and revved the engine - woohoo! He also owns a supercharged Nissan Z car. And he told his wife that he only paid $80K for the Audi! hahahahah!!!!! she still doesn't know!

There are also 2 new BMW M5's - one in silver (I know the owner of that one too) and another maroon one that parks underneath where I work everyday.

There is also another black 6 series BMW getting about Sandy Bay which I have seen about half a dozen times.

There is a new model M3 (black) that is getting around too - witht he carbon fibre roof. I heard that another owner of a new M3 stacked it on the first corner at Baskerville.....has anyone heard that too?

Did anyone see that yellow Zonda at Targa - my god....what a work of art!

[ThePistonHead]

wow, thanks for that madxh96. Had no idea there was 2 M3's! You wouldnt happen to have a pic of the maroon M5 you talk about would you?

[ThePistonHead]

Almost forgot, i saw a mint Black Model T Ford parked outside lipscombe larder!

[ThePistonHead]

My mate came back to tassie from the UK with a blue Lotus 111R a few years ago.. in an act of bizzare brain freeze he then swapped it for a black Lotus exige, you wont see that around old hobart town however as he dinged it in Targa and its out the back of Autocraft awaiting parts

We had a GT3 in at work a few months ago, guy came and got it and dropped off his R8 and a lambo, lambo is still there.
