exotics in australia

[ashsimmonds]

hey fellas, decided to finally go through and organize my vids and pics of various marques (lamborghini, ferrari, porsche, etc) and thought i'd start a thread to chuck in links to my vids and stuff. i'll update it at random as/when i get around to it, new stuff coming soon.

anyhoo, here's a vid of a photoshoot we did for MOTOR magazine on the 2005 Exotics in the Outback tour....

lol 1 post in 19 months

[ashsimmonds]

heh thanks!

yeah i mostly hang around ferrarichat but lurk here there and everywhere

too many forums, not enough pixels...

[littlegearl]

very nice, especially considering your deristricted sign actually means deristricted!

was trundling along the great western highway at about 120kph last year when i was slowly caught and passed by a guy in a HSV commodore, couldn't believe the restraint he had as i would have been doing AT LEAST 200kph if not 250+

[ashsimmonds]

haha you want Monaro...!!???

here's the press car doing a burnout in front of the fast cars at the derestricted sign... basically they knew it was the last time they'd get to show off.

There was an article in Evo sometime back where they ran a VXR full chat through the derestricted outback, they reckoned 22mpg at 160mph!
Been thinking for a while there should be somewhere to post these articles to form an online library, is that something that could be done thru the forum?

[ashsimmonds]

i think 160mph was a speed they occasionally reached. one of the ideas mhh had was to dig out some of those articles and take one last crack at the title for quickest time between Alice Springs and Darwin. sad that it may go to something pretty boring...

Wouldn't that contravene all sorts of copyright?

[ashsimmonds]

last Sunday the Lamborghini Club of SA had it's first Running of the Bulls, seven cars participated - which is about 50% of the *driven* Lamborghinis in Adelaide. it was more just a get-together and drive thing, we didn't stop anywhere picturesque to get any pretty pics, but hopefully what we got is good enough... until next time!
