Strictly aimed at non-competitive individuals and couples who enjoy great cars, 5 star hotels, long open roads and out of this world experiences.

Discussion in the Australian Audi R8 forums.

The Supercar Club needed a car relocated to Adelaide on the big AFL Grand Final day, everyone else in Oz was at a bbq to watch a bunch of blokes dressed in pretty colours run around a meadow trying to hug each other, so I got stuck with the job.

Lucky it’s not too ugly.

Discussion in the Australian Porsche Panamera forums.

STEVE COLQUHOUN gets behind the wheel of the all-new four-door Porsche.

“A four-door Porsche? Mate, that’s fully sick!” And with these sagely-opined words ringing in our ears, we kicked off a circuit of the continent in – as our observant friend so poignantly noted – a four-door tourer based on the legendary Porsche 911.

Okay, so they’re not the exact words we’d choose to describe Porsche’s newest model, called the Panamera. But they’re not that far off the mark, either.

So one evening last week whilst enjoying a steak with some mates at Gauchos on Gouger I get a text from James from the Supercar Club saying he needs a car transported sometime in the next couple days, and given:

• it’s a long weekend
• everyone else has family stuff to do
• I’m inherently unlovable
• nobody would care if I disappeared without warning

…it seems I was an obvious choice for the task.

The best part of the news – the car which needed to be transported is one of my top 5 dream cars, way above Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Mach 5, probably almost on par with the Batmobile…

Allow me to present the Lotus Exige S.

Discussion in the Australian Ferrari forums:

STEPHEN Retzos had the basic essentials to fulfil most young men’s motoring dreams: the keys to his father’s $250,000 red Ferrari and the green light to take it for a spin.

Unfortunately for the 21-year-old, former Geelong Grammar schoolboy, his dream spun off the road.

Melbourne Magistrates Court heard yesterday that the probationary driver failed to negotiate a sweeping left-hand bend on Batman Avenue about 9pm on May 3 last year.

Retzos lost control of the 2003 360 coupe at an estimated 108 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.
