Day to Day – 14/5/2009
Hi all 
Thursday the 14th. As per my last blog, Thursday’s can vary in numbers, however 8 times out of 10, you won’t see any exotics!
With that in mind, I thought I’d try my luck and see if I could get inside that other 20%, and find a few nice cars around town.
As usual I started off in the city and worked my way around town during the course of the day. I started around 10:30 in Perth and as I was driving down St Georges, I spied in the distance an Audi R8 driving towards me. Great to see, however not much I could do, seeing as I was driving at the time 
I headed through West Perth on the way to Subi, seeing a couple of nice AMG Mercedes-Benz on the way, but nothing out of the ordinary! I got to the corner of Hay & Rockeby, when I saw a dark Silver Aston Martin DB9 Volante parked.
I was starting to park, when I saw another DB9 Volante drive through the intersection, however this one was a beautiful Oyster Pearl colour! So I gave chase for a little, before it ended up parking, a perfect chance to get some shots!
I had seen this one a couple times over the past year or so, however nowhere near as many times as I had liked too! I snapped a few of this particular DB9 before I headed back to the other DB9 to get shots. Two DB9 Volantes in 10 minutes… Awesome!
Around 1pm I headed to UWA, to meet a few friends of mine. However as soon as I arrive I received a call from another friend, saying there’s a Silver Nissan GTR parked in Northbridge. So naturally… I hopped in the car, driving half way around the city, based on a phone call! I got there 10 minutes later to find… NOTHING
Not one to be disappointed I drove back to UWA, finding a few cars very close to campus. 1 very rare Rosso Corsa Maserati 4200 Coupe, a black Maserati Quattroporte and one of THE best Bentley’s I’ve seen!
A beautiful Antique Gold Bentley Continental Flying Spur!!! However, I didn’t get any pictures.
The day had finished and inevitably turned into night. It was 7pm, it was cold and the roads were relatively empty if you were in the right spot. I was still in West Perth and luckily the scarce traffic I was encountering, had a black Maserati Granturismo amongst it’s low numbers.
Because of the cold I didn’t want to shoot for too long, only getting the necessary pics and then finally heading home. It was a great looking Granturismo! Black/Black with Yellow calipers.
Heading home, focused on getting there, cars weren’t on my mind… This mentality lasted about 90% of the trip, abruptly coming to a halt in the last 10%. When I came across one the craziest cars to ever roam Perth’s streets!!
The TVR Tuscan.
It was my 2nd time seeing a Tuscan in WA and funnily enough it happened to be 1/2 Tuscans in the entire state! From the moment I saw it I was speechless! The look, the bodywork, the interior, the paint! OH… The paint!!
It was a beautiful Reflex Baby Blue/Green with flecks of gold sprinkled everywhere across the ever flowing bodywork and in under the orange street light, it looked EPIC! However the night didn’t do it justice, I needed to see it during the day!!
I spent a total of around 60 minutes shooting this amazing, alien-like vehicle! As speechless at the end as I was at the start, if not more after looking at it’s perfect lines, perfect paint job and marveling at the fact that it had no door handles!
This particular Thursday was a cracker!! 3 cars I had never seen before. 1 of which, a piece of artwork that goes down in my books as one of the best looking cars ever, TVR Tuscan. And a Bentley I’ll never forget!
And who said Thursday’s weren’t good?
Until next time – Josh Stowers
