Recommended Posts

Cars here in Australia are bloody expensive. Just to give you an idea, an M3 in the states is approx $50-60k - in Australia, its $150k.

... and the dollar is 95c.. go figure.

Cant access my pics at the moment for some reason but im 26 and in the past 6 years i've had;

02 Alfa Romeo 147 (My first decent car after high school)

04 HSV GTO (Pontiac GTO to you guys but with 300+KW)

06 Audi TT (Modified to hell and back - very nice and quick car)

08 Audi S5 (Just delivered 3 weeks ago - holy sh*t)

Some very nice cars posted up guys. Love that '7' and RS4

A REAL BEAUTY!!!!!!!!! Ummmmmmmm, sweet. It's unmistakably a design from the house that Battista built and it seems oddly familiar. Hafei maybe? Do tell please.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Yes, you're partly right about Pininfarina. The interior was designed by them and they handbuilt the car at their factory. The exterior was designed by Chris Bangle before he joined BMW. In fact, he designed your beautiful 7 series!

It's a 1998 Fiat Coupe 20 valve turbo. 2 litres, 5 cylinders. 220bhp 0-60 in 6 secs. 150mph.

75,000 were built between 1993 and 2000 of which 7,500 came here to the UK. Never imported into U.S.

And the best bit is you can pick up a really nice one here for

Nice Bullet southcoast!!!! What are the specs of the FE?... 390...428...other :D ???

Originally it came with a 390, along the way it got a 428 and thats how I got it. 428 c.i., 4bbl on a aluminum police interceptor intake, C6 Auto, 9" rear (not posi). I swear the thing could pull my house off of its foundation!! One hell of a fun ride.

And Kudos to all the rest of the motorheads in the house!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:
