TVR Tasmin, Dark Silver going north on Kwinana Freeway at c.8.00am this morning.

Had the plate TASMIN i think.

Was a joy to see and stood out like a shining diamond in a sea of crappy Toyota Camry's.....

Now that is exciting!

Heck even seeing a BMW thats not a 318 is exciting compared to all the mundane crap on the road here!!

I always imagine how satisfying it would be to drive a proper car here...Ultima GTR or Zonda or Koenigsegigsegg. No doubt you get traffic light heroes everytime you venture on the road...either that or you get pulled over and yellow stickered all the time, the 5-0 take a dim view of farty exhausts let alone one big enough to stick your head in that lets off an almighty crack and pop with 6 foot of flame everytime you back off biggrin

.....Sigh....

Another spotto on Kwinana Fwy.

A bright yellow Countach!!!! Northbound about 12ish yesterday afternoon. Not sure of the model designation but it was the one with the big spolier.

I was in Freo on Saturday early evening and saw 2 bright yellow Porsche 993's cruising. One with a GT2 style spoiler and front lip. One rego was 'the 993' and the other 'I 993 I'

Awesome. Did you know that its the only Zonda in the country? The owner either bought or was thinking of buying a plane from the company that my mum works for a year or 2 ago. I saw it when it was down in Adelaide for the Clipsal 500 supercar exhibit. Even though there was a Veyron and a Koenigseggsigseggggsegabbaviking there, that car held me captivated for about half an hour, it was open and the attention to detail is amazing. I've got 30 or so photos of it, truly amazing car, even standing still.

Back to the topic at hand, saw an R8 a few days ago and a Noble M12 GTO3R a few weeks ago. There can't be many of those getting around...

Hi, I know the car (there are only 5 Tasmins in WA) and the owner, nice guy into all sorts of things car related, not sure if he lurks around here. Been a long time since I have met up with any other owners, that particular car is a 390SE - there is also a red 390SE in Denmark, an A1 condition blue 350i around Perth and then my very sad looking 450SE plus a written off 280i in a shed somewhere.

PS Camry's have their place you knowwink

Bob you know about most of the TVRs in Perth, I've recently heard that my mate John Hurney is building one to race at Wanneroo. Have to give him a call and point him here. Do you know anything about this?
