Owner had just bought it and didn't know how to operate the computer, so I jumped in and found some hidden buttons and features for him!

Actually, I flew up to the Gold Coast and went down with a mate, that's what the first page is about. I was the only guy who attended from not east.

And here's a video of the Ferrari Relay.

---> http://aussieexotics.com/videos/ferr...eld-park-17603


It's like a normal relay race with a baton and rivalry amongst the states, except the driver's in the team have to take a Ferrari cap for a lap around the track, stop within a specified zone, jump out of the car and run to pit lane where the next car is waiting to take off and hand them the cap.

It's also supposed to be run with a V6, a V8, and a V12 in the relay - though this year most states didn't have each type of car at the track so some concessions were made.

This vid is the ACT entry. (Australian Capital Territory)

Yeah, after our Tassie run a few months back it was absolutely soul-destroying the trip back from Melb to Adel. I drove a couple hours of it in the Lamborghini and I've never been so frustrated and bored behind the wheel of a car!

No cars from SA or WA.

Especially after you've just been to Tassie where the roads, just really are THE best in OZ with little in the way of them being ruined by others or the plod..

I know coming back from Tassie to the Melb roads leaves you wishing you were on you were going back to Tassie the next day... (especially with the draconian vic 3kmh over the speed limit fines!!!)

Cool vid with the relay too... Pity you cant get a few more guys with cams for some outside views... They'd be too busy having fun driving no doubt!

The page for the Concours d'Elegance has been published (175 photos):

---> http://aussieexotics.com/2007/11/12/ferrar...cours-delegance

It was a freezing cold, pelting rain, blustery day... So not too many decent shots as almost impossible to keep the lens dry.


Here's a preview of some of the pics...

I've just bought myself a new camera - the Canon Powershot S5 IS - and will be attending the National Ferrari Rally in a couple weeks, so I'll be back in early November with so many pics of red cars you'll think your eyes are bleeding!!!
And here I am.

Nearly 70 Ferraris got together around the nation's capital last week for the 34th National Ferrari Rally and to celebrate the 60th Anniversary - I took over 15gb of pics and vids so will update over the next week or so.

First (pre)leg of the Ferrari Rally was us just getting there, 1300km in 2 days in Ferraris.

All the pics etc here:

Here's a couple... There are gazillions more to come...
