I thought that these are so rare that it was worth a mention. Probably the only one in australia! Red on M4 heading west near strathfield.

I also spotted a red Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano heading onto M4 near strathfield, probably only 1 of maybe 3 in australia.

A month ago I spotted a brand new 2007 deep purple Rolls Royce Phantom heading east on M4 near strathfield. Also probably only 1 of 10 or so in australia.

Everything happens in Strathfield! :lol:

Just on that note, each time I see these cars, a few days later there is a on road review written by drive.com.au of these cars. So does a Drive journalist live in Strathfield?? :lol:

My office is just down the road from Sharp Performance, who specialise in exotics of all sort.. so we get to see lots of new Lambo's, Ferraris, even the odd Zonda. Spotted an R8 last week I think at lunchtime 8)

I had another office in a building which overlooked Sharp's other workshop, where they have a chassis dyno. Every week there was a 911 GT3, Lambo, or something similar on the dyno doing power runs.. that sound has to be heard to be believed 8)
