    I'm in Auckland (New Zealand) at the moment.. there's all sorts of funny little JDM kit about.
    Life's too short to drive bad cars.

    Saw an old Audi GT today, and a very expensive Mercedes- looks like a SLR 722, along with a Maserati Quattroporte.

    Also saw every current variation of the M3- sedan, coupe and convertible.

    Not a bad take.

    Any Audi guys want to let me know if this GT had 4WD or not? Wikipedia said that some may have it.

    I am guessing the lack of quattro moniker means its not the AWD version?

    Correct... the GT was FWD with 2.0ltrs, much tamer than the Quattro. Looks like an '85.

    Yesterday I saw two of those goofy CAN AM Trikes, I was chasing down a yellow Corvette on a twisty two lane road, the 'vette got by them while there was still passing lane and I got stuck behind. The first guy seems to have confidence in his riding but the other guy didn't, more than once I amost run him over

    There was also the Coupé Quattro which mached the standard Coupé body and normally aspirated engine to the Quattro's four wheel drive system.

    One was recently for sale here for around 6 grand. Apparently they are quite rare, much rarer than full-on Quattros.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Last night I saw a resto rod late 1930s Buick, bunch of punk ass kids got out of it and their idiot friend in a pick up truck showed up and gave me a scare. Burning rubber in a parking lot aisle is not funny.

    This is the Gallardo I have seen previously. Doesn't ever fail to turn my head though.

    There's a bordeaux colored Alpine V6 Turbo in the next big city, standing parked not far from a garage. It had no plates for a very long time, but when I went to the store next to it yesterday to buy some food, somebody was working on it. When I asked the guy, he said that it was for sale and could be picked up (including a complete TÜV check) for 2000 bucks.

    Screw not having a budget. To make everything even worse, the Escort's main silencer fell off on my way home. Seriously, screw life, I want that Alpine

    We went for a drive to the area around Richmond yesterday and saw a yellow FJ Holden in McGraths Hill, a Maserati Quattroporte in a rather nice pearlescent creamy white (haven't seen one that colour before) and a red and white EK Holden in Richmond, a wedding at Kurrajong with a dark green early 1960s Volvo and (believe it or not) a dark blue and white VW Kombi (the most unusual pair of wedding cars I've ever seen) and when we stopped for a coffee in Kurrajong village I looked across and there was a white Humber Super Snipe parked on the other side of the road.

    It was there again today. And it's a Holden Caprice, not a Statesman Caprice.
