Day to Day – 19/5/2009
Hi all
Tuesday 19/5/2009 was an early start for me! Not a bad day all in all, however started shooting at 9am!
This time instead of starting in Perth, I started in Cottesloe, and right from the get go, there were a few cars around! I didn’t get many pictures throughout day, because I saw all the cars whilst driving.
It was around 9am when I first drove out from Freo towards town for the day. Stopped at the lights on the corner of Wellington Street & Stirling Hwy, I was changing the song on my iPod, when I happened to look up randomly, when all of a sudden a Pearl White Aston Martin DB9 Volante turns onto Stirling Hwy, which was followed closely by a Navy Blue Maserati Granturismo!
I was so amazed at the time that instead of picking up my camera, I just watched as they drove on by!
Once the lights turned green, I gave chase trying to locate both cars, however when I drove around the bend, it was too late, they were out of my sight.
A tad annoyed I continued towards Perth, seeing a few Porsche 997 911 Turbo’s as I drove along, the odd Maserati Quattroporte, a Bentley Continental Flying Spur and even an Audi R8, but was unable to get pictures because I was behind the wheel.
I finally got into the city at around 11, however the sun was very harsh, and didn’t make for good lighting anywhere! It appeared as if I shouldn’t have left home today at all!

As I arrived I found myself behind the beautiful Antique Gold Bentley Continental Flying Spur I had seen a couple day before. It was turning into a building so I quickly stopped and got a shot before it disappeared. It’s not the best picture because of optics in my windshield, however it’s the only shot I have of it.
I’d driven around the City for a little while, and it became evident that there were no exotics around!

So at around 2 I wrapped it up, finding on the way home a Maserati Granturismo, an Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage Roadster and then a White/Black Bentley Continental GTC… In the pooring rain!!

It wasn’t too bad of a day car wise, however lighting and actually taking the pictures was a problem!
Later that night I found a rare Lotus Europa SE! It was the 1st time seeing a SE, and I have to say I’m impressed!

Until next time – Josh Stowers
