Silver NA8 (or late NA6) on Heathcote Rd last night. Black pop-up covers, quite low and with something funky underneath in the suspension. Spotted near the Shell station adjoining Wattle Grove, not far east from the M5 turnoff.

Anyone?

458s are more common now. I know of 3 people in Ku-Ring-Gai that have them, the Aventador is noticed at Artarmon was definitely a rarer vehicle.

Nice blue NA6 on Newbridge Rd... Flashed each other :P

Plus the two red ones that work almost across the road from my office, one on hot-wires one on advanti's?

Seems to be heaps around Liverpool/Ctown these days.
So lets go!

Green NA8 in the Bendeela campground near Kangaroo Valley! I was very impressed the couple had fitted tent, bedding, 2 chairs and (I assume) clothing and food into the boot of an NA!

I was there in the campervan to do some canoeing on the river and we were gone before the owner was up in the morning, but points for good use of space!! 8)

That's nothing! My parents used to go camping in an MGA. Here's what an MGA boot looks like:

And yes, they had the spare tyre in there...

Silver NB on Hampden Rd in Artarmon, about 10pm? It was dark so I could be wrong, but black wheels and roll/style bar?

I spotted a number of MX5s in Canberra over the long weekend.
Most were NCs, sometimes in the twisty roads around Lake Burley Griffin. The most notable was a black NC along the lake roads. Some spotted betweeen the Crowne Plaza/Casino/Cafe area of Bunda St and Manuka!

Non-MX5 spotting of note was a large, highly-fortified (tons of spiralled razor wire), highly-surveilled building site, not far from Perth Ave.

Later while chatting with a AFP officer I was told it's being built for China.

I was advised to not try and break in. ;)

Interesting story here. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-new ... 1t8ju.html

PS. A silver Eunos was spotted at the National Zoo. Stock looking. No NBs to report. There was a Trackschool Integra being trailered back from Marulan but no other interesting cars on the drive back to Sydney.
