Lambo Gallardo on the northern yesterday, they're the bestt looking Lambo IMHO, but still a bit ungainly from the rear three quarters

One of these on Ponsonby Rd this morning, blast from the past even though they're not that old! Reminds me of Swordfish, even though I don't think its what they actually used in the movie?

schattenblau · October 19, 2012, 10:07:56 AM

That's a Cerbera.

Swordfish used a Tuscan Speed Six

for the uber-anorak http://www.imcdb.org/, it's pretty comprehensive, often down to cars in the background of shots

Swordfish http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=244244 caution: contains AUDIs

Spotted a rusty Mk3 Golf in Looper, couldn't believe my eyes since it's set 30 years in the future haha

silver MK4 Golf 1.6 wagon on the northern this afternoon, not a Jap import because it had a wide number plate recess with euro plates on it

rambo_005 · October 21, 2012, 02:19:18 AM

It'll either be NZ new, UK or Singapore import.

Spotted, some jack ass in a 2010 f150 raptor in black who went out of his way to running me off the road in Albany yesterday. Clearly driving a f150 doesn't require you to merge lanes like the rest if us, and he speed up post lane convergence and squeezed me into the shoulder and almost the curb. Absolute arrogance!! Not to mention highly illegal and dangerous.

Quite normal behaviour for a Ford driver, Falcons, Rangers and Explorers all exempt the driver from the road rules as well

These are temporary, haha. Just borrowing for 6 weeks till my new wheels arrive.

Tdi · October 23, 2012, 02:08:08 PM

Does the owner want to sell them when your done with them?

Brett · October 23, 2012, 03:27:38 PM

Yes he does actually. Pm Heino for details.

I first saw that car in front of the Auckland Art Museum then realized he actually parks in the garage right opposite mine at home! lol

Toyotq GT86 heading to Petone yesterday afternoon.

red 2nF Polo down The Terrace (Welly).. If I knew something about anything, I'd guess these are rarer than Lupo's!

something similar to the google one below:

Was it a G40? I remember years ago a G40 being for sale in NZ - back in the T&E days, pre Trademe.
