New Toy

Well, this is the 3rd weekend I have been the happy owner of the new toy. Unfortunately, I have been pretty busy and the weather has been incredibly frightful the last 2 weekends (but we need the rain so I shouldn't complain).

I took these photos this afternoon while driving an old mate around who came to visit for the weekend (and like drpellypo is starting a photographic venture). We have had 30+mm of rain and sustained 90-100km/h winds the last 2 days with great snow dumps on the ranges around the city and of course down in the Alps where it is the opening weeekend of the ski season.

The car has been out in the carport since Friday night, and therefore has been hammered by the wind and torrential rain we had up till early this morning (as my carport is only roofed with 90% shadecloth, and the R32 was in the garage)...

So apologies for the condition of the car - it has been "5th Dimensioned" 2 weeks ago (bit like your PermaShield) but was basically just driven out of the drive "as is" this morning. smile.gif

First stop - out of the wind, with the rain thankfully gone a few hours previously.

This is roughly where I took the photos of the R32 last year (see my sig) and is along the driveway to the Governor General's Residence in Yarralumla.

Second stop - also, strangely out of the wind...

This is parked behind the old Parliament House near the entrances to the Members' Dining Room, facing South and looking uphill towards the new Parliament House. BTW, the flag on top of the new PH is bigger than a London red double deck bus to give you some idea of scale, and the wind that was still howling...

Note the change in the light here vs. the first stop.

Looks bloody well spot on to me - only difference is you've parked on the other side of the tarmac. You park there from memory? crazy.gif

Very nice "Toy"!

I have to wait til december for mine! Still not made up my mind on spec though!!

I think I am gonna go for RED (wanted yellow but not worth as much at resale here) and am thinking of white but am really thinking!

Those 17" wheels look good, thats another issue for me - I really want the 18"!

You must be "loving it" I know I would be! Really jealous mate!!
