Day to Day – 13/5/2009
Hi all
Wednesday was always THE best day for spotting during the week if you’re in Perth. Something about Wednesday’s just brought the cars out, it was great!
However over the last couple of weeks, the cars had been becoming more scarce, much like a Thursday, and as I drove around Subiaco on Wednesday the 13th of May, I had realized that the middle of the working week, was to be the best no more…
I was only able to shoot during the morning because of commitments in the afternoon, however I hit the City around 9am and started my scope…
Over the next hour and a half there was a combination of driving and walking done, however all my efforts searching and $30 worth of fuel that had been soaked up in 40 min of driving, had left my camera card empty, with the best car in view a 2005 BMW X5 4.8i as I refilled at Shell. It was a beautiful blue colour and as it took off from the lights, left a deep throaty sound, as expected from the V8 engine it has under the hood
Just as I was about to give up and pack it in, I drove one last time through West Perth and as I did, I stumbled across an Italian car, sporting a colour that is synonymous with both it’s racing heritage and production vehicles. A Ferrari F430 Coupe!


This particular F430 was Rosso Corsa/Tan, F1, Challenge Wheels & Grille and CC Brakes with Red Calipers. A great looking car!

I parked up, started shooting and after about 10 minutes a black Aston Martin DB9 Volante drove towards me and I got it at the last second.

I continued shooting, getting the Fez from all angles when out of nowhere, a black Maserati Quattroporte GTS drives towards me and parks right behind the F430! A very nice combo!!


30 minutes later I was still there and remembering I was now late for my plans. So called it a day and headed home.
Although I had seen those 3 cars within 5 metres of each other, I came to a conclusion that Wednesday’s were just no good anymore!
Until next time – Josh Stowers
