Well it was very close to a paved road (where I was driving) so GPS it was I guess...

Well, alright. Couldn't get the pics off the phone. It was a Ferrari F430. First one I have seen in the flesh, I didn't realize it had so much more presence than the 360.

We were out for most of the day on Sunday and saw a few interesting cars. First was a green Vanden Plas 4 Litre R going down the Cumberland Highway at Smithfield. Then what was obviously a club run (or maybe two club runs that happened to coincide) - at least a dozen GT or GTHO Falcons and five or six Monaros (one of each type, including a very early one). Then, we found ourselves going down Campbelltown Road behind a maroon Wolseley 6/90. On the way from Fairfield to the Great Western Highway, we saw a black MG TD (it must have been, because the number plate said MG ## TD), an old red American truck (late 40s or early 50s), a red and white early 60s Ford Fairlane 500, a metallic light blue late 60s Pontiac Parisienne, a 1970ish beige Cadillac Eldorado convertible. I can't remember where now, but we also saw a wedding with a pair of matching silver and black cars - a 1950ish Jaguar and a late 60s or early 70s Daimler limousine and, at Gladesville, on Victoria Road, a late 50s two tone silver Dodge (don't know what model, but it had the biggest tail fins I've ever seen).
And I haven't posted any photos for a while, so here are some old cars I've seen around the place:
a Ford Mustang in Croydon:
an Austin Healey in a city car park:
a Valiant at Pendle Hill:
I don't know what this is, but it looks like a 1950s Japanese tinplate toy car - at Westmead
an old Holden in the Woolworths carpark at Wentworthville:
a FIAT 500 at Pendle Hill
and a not so old Lotus at Merrylands:

That Japanese car is a 1990s Nissan Figaro that's based off a Micra/March.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

From the window of the customer's office where I was at today, I saw what seemed to be a late model Jaguar XJ that was converted into a ute. No time for pics and a quick google only showed older ones...

I was doing some late night shopping at Woolworths at Wentworthville (it's one of the ones that's open to midnight six days a week) and in the nearly deserted car park (it was around 11pm and there would have been just over a dozen cars there - including staff) there were two early Mitsubishi Magnas (the last ones of the original shape, whatever model designation that is) - one dark blue and one gold, both in very good condition. Given the survival rate of these cars, what's the chance of that....

Dang it once again waiting to download pics. But I did sight a Lambo and a Maser QP at the Brazilian steakhouse the wifey and I were eating at in Dallas. Also saw a Chevy Volt yesterday.

Saw a 1960s Daimler and a Jaguar XJS last week:
And here's a Mini Clubman I saw on James Ruse Drive a couple of days later:

Saw a B17 fly directly overhead the other day. I have to analyse the picture, but I also saw another plane flying in the distance. It was twin-engine with a split tail and was definitely sporting Radial motors...it was their distinctive sound which lured me outside to begin with.

They really went downhill after the F430.
I saw a Suzuki Kizashi today. Soon to be rare Japanese car perhaps?
From what I heard, it actually drives quite nicely.
Now that Isuzu only sells trucks really (if at all?), Daihatsu isn't around (?), the only Japanese car makers sold in North America is Honda, Nissan, Toyota (and all their subsidiaries of course) and Subaru.
That's kind of sparse.
The Kizashi seems like the Pontiac G8 of Japan. A quirky nice driving car, seems to be a slightly better appointed Subaru Impreza.

Motorweek seemed to be sweet on the Kizashi. Said it wasn't quite as nice as the benchmark midsizers, but was a viable alternative with a different vibe.

Altough it is technically available here I have never seen one. I wonder if they've sold any at all.
On the other hand while it looks interesting, it rubs me up the wrong way. Big four and front wheel drive? No, thank you.
This weekend I saw a Spitfire.
Of the Triumph variety, that is.
