Ferrari F40 & other exotics?
Discussion
http://southernskylines.com/forum/vie << Original topic.
Long story short, got the AGM for our Skyline club coming up soon, so i have (well, don't have to) to make the trip from Dunners to Christchurch in a day.
Should hopefully get there early in the afternoon and i'd like to be able to go car spotting (not many exotics in Dunedin - did see our Ferrari 550 Barchetta driving past Queens Gardens on Saturday though) until the meeting (at the place i still have to find out how to get to!).
Mainly looking for exotics like any Aston Martins (old or new), Porsches (prefer newer, as there seem to be heaps of pre '00 Porsches in the Dunedin area), Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Dodge Vipers and more. Lotus Elises etc would be nice too, as i've only ever seen one so far (pics below: spotted in Alexandra and it was competing in the annual drag race event in 2004 - did 13's i think).
Can anyone help with locations (of the Ferarri F40 especially - located in a model toy shop?) and whether or not you're allowed to take photos of them? I'll try dress up in tidy clothes so that i'm less likely to be kicked off car yards, but i'm still really worried it will happen.

Ferrari stuff likely to be at a shop called Fazzaz (sp?) if it still exists, can't remeber exact location but I think its near the police station (in town centre)
the shop specialises in all sorts of auto memorabilia as well as models, and from memory especially focussed on italian exotic type stuff.

You wouldn't know if the F40 would be there on June 5th do you? 
Does it have a website or anything? www.fazazz.co.nz/
Theres some more likely spots to see exotica but no definates. Friday/saturday night town cruises and places like Sumner esplanade have some decent metal around, as does the road to Akaroa on sudays etc but nowhere you can see car x at a specific time.
edit :
Dont think the Ghibli or c-type are still there either. Nor is the fezza 400i & the mecherscmit is marked as sold.

Gavin Bain has a whole shed full of interesting cars, he just wheels them out and puts them on display in his shop when theres not enough interesting customer cars in there.
From memory hes got at least an F40, a genuine D type, a bugatti type 35, a similar era bugatti road car, a 60s testarossa which raced at le mans etc etc

I remember seeing a picture of a T70, on the internet. 
But I really wouldn't mind one of these replicas:
I'd have to learn to drive properly though
