Car pics from Sydney, Australia trip

[nsxsupra]

I snapped most of these pics last Saturday in Sydney. I am kinda spoiled by PAG, so most of the Ferrari, Lambos, Porsche, Austin Martin (surprisingly common there) wasn't worth my memory stick space. Considering Australian pay nearly 180% of what we pay for cars here.

Whenever I travel, cars are usually last thing on my mind. This time no different but they do have cars that we don't have here, I happen to really like GTR. I did spotted a black NSX in Chatswood intersection near the Lexus dealer. That car had a lot of presence.

SL65. Perfect example of Australian for parking a $350~$400k car in Sydney fish market (Import Cars cost nearly double in Australia). Ultimate display of "because I can, no big deal"

The best bang for the buck, while they pay a lot for cars. Certain cars such as the R34 GTR only cost half price of what we pay here and you can drive it legally. I still like R34 GTR the best over 996TT or 997TT. Drive it off legally for only $50~$60k. It took a lot of self control for not buying this car since I already have a garage to store it in Sydney. I couldn't get it off my mind. I will have one sooner or later. I will keep my word.

Sweet RX-7

Nice to see an Aussie thread... been kinda dry around here.

Didnt know you were coming to Australia -- did you let anyone know? Hope you enjoyed your stay. Any non-car-highlights?

Great pics. If you don't mind me asking - What link of work are you in? I love to travel from Socal to Japan to Australia as part of my job.

I do same as what many do. I have been in importing business since 1998. I started out with 1 flight ticket, 1 map, a few addresses, 1 rail pass, freak out a few times, zero contact. That is how I got started. There are unlimited business opportinities oversea in any country, how bad someone is willing to do the hardwork and go through the trouble is the question. I bet 80% of people on Prime have far bigger income than me simply because I am just a loser with a enough is good enough mentality, nothing special.

Neo,
I have some pics, mostly just personal pics with family and friends, I don't think a car forum is proper place for pics like this. I will just post a few here.

Quite frankly 9 days felt like 1 day. I was really....exhausted from month of May, trip to Japan a few week prior then all the stress from final exam, I really felt fatigued and drained, so I really just wanted to relax during this trip, I am also not the sight seeing type, but I am always amazed every time I visit Australia. I love Australia, my favorite country next to Japan. Definitely far more beautiful than Japan or anywhere I have been in USA (lived in Bay Area for 6 years, been to most of east coast as well).

No, I did not let anyone know, I really didn't have a lot of time + I didn't have my nsx with me. It would had been really fun driving(more like cruising) NSX in Sydney.

The ultimate performance car for me, I want it so bad, I can really smell it. I have not wanted a car so bad since NSX. I went back to the dealership to see the car several times. I had Supra before, while the car had lots of power, the traction was terrible, can't really use it. R34 will have no problem handing 500rwhp and run a 10.6sec at that power level. This car is the ultimate all arounder. It got plenty of history and wins at race track to back it up.

I love it, I had a full rack and I finished it the whole thing:biggrin:. Miss the food a lot, so convenient over there. Good eats everywhere. "Eat to live", "Live to eat", food is the source of life.
