Day to Day – 12/5/2009

Hi all :)

Some Friday & Saturday nights I’ll go to the Casino to check out what kind of cars I can find parked out front.  Sometimes there will be the odd Mercedes-Benz SL350 or something of that nature, which is ok.  Very expensive and luxurious, however not all that rare, fast or desirable!!

A few Tuesday nights ago I decided to head down randomly to see what my luck could pull, and what I found was truly AMAZING!!

Now on the way to the Casino, I had to go down Albany Highway and fairly close to it, I found a Ferrari I had never seen before!  An old school Rosso Corsa/Tan Ferrari 328 GTB with custom black rims!  It was the best 328 I’d ever seen and also one of the cleanest looking!  You could really tell the owner loved his car.

It was my 1st time seeing it so naturally I wanted to get some cool shots, however the owner wasn’t there for very long so I was unable to get a really good one! :(   However I’m hoping to see it during the middle of the day, just so the lighting is better!

Anyway back to what I found at the Casino…

Now any fan of Lamborghini would know that the Murcielago is one of their fastest, rarest and most expensive cars! Australian Lamborghini fans would appreciate their rarity even more, with only a handful ever being bought from Aussie dealers, and if you’re lucky enough, only ever catching a slight glance maybe once a year.

In 2004, Lamborghini introduced the Murcielago 40th Anniversary.  A very limited run of 50 Murcie’s, all leaving the factory in an Aqua Blue exterior and White/Black interior.

Now a run of 50 world wide, surely one wouldn’t come to Australia – Let alone Perth?!

Well, for those who don’t know, there is actually 0ne here and  I found it!  That’s right I found the ONLY Lamborghini Murcielago 40th Anniversary in Australia, on the street!

There #25 sat… Its good looks being imprinted on mobile phone cameras from people of all ages, and not to mention my 2 Canon’s! :D

I was there for around 30 minutes shooting this masterpiece before it’s owner came out.  He was an awesome guy and I was privileged enough for him to open the doors for a picture!  A picture that is one of my favourites!!!

I’ve had seen the car before at the track and also at the Italian Day, however to see it on the street was something different!

Best Tuesday night of spotting ever!!
