Another great day at Eastern Creek was had by all.

But not long after I got there I was asked to stand in for the official track photographer that couldn’t make it. So I was torn between camera and car… oh what a dilemma.

Anyways, the results are more “lifestyle” shots rather than the usual “just another car zooming past” stuff.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Rolls-Royce said its global sales may be flat this year but the luxury carmaker is banking on an economic recovery and the rollout of a new model to help jumpstart volumes in 2010.

“It could be anything from 50 percent higher to 100 percent higher,” Graeme Grieve, sales and marketing director of Rolls-Royce, a unit of German car maker BMW (BMWG.DE), told Reuters in an interview no Friday in response to a question about expected sales trends in 2010.

Rolls-Royce Chief Executive Officer Tom Purves also said the company’s total car sales could rise to 3,000 a year with the launch of its new RR4 model. In 2008, Rolls-Royce had total sales of 1,212 ‘Phantom’ model cars.

BMW, whose brands include Mini, Rolls-Royce and BMW, said sales in the first three months of the year totaled 277,264 compared with 351,787 a year earlier.

PRODUCTION of ultra-luxury cars is being reduced as millionaires and billionaires feel the pinch of the global recession.

Rolls-Royce chief executive Tom Purves was the latest to announce cutbacks this week, with 50 down-days scheduled for the company’s plant in England.

Rolls has abandoned its goal of sales growth this year and aims to match last year’s total of 1200 cars.

Lamborghini is cutting back production this year to about 1700 cars after making a record 2500 last year. Demand is expected to fall by up to 30 per cent.

SYDNEYSIDERS love to compare their suburbs, whether in terms of house prices, proximity to the beach, or the number of hats their local restaurants have been awarded. And when it comes to keeping up with the Joneses, nothing is better than a peek over the fence to see what the neighbours are driving.
