Black Focus Zetec on the M4 yesterday dumped on its guts with huge 19s or 20s on it. The rear wheels were cambered and the car was going along slowly (compared to the rest of the motorway traffic). Looked mad!

Black XR5 at Enmore on Monday night. Looked and sounded sweet!

Hey Melbzetec,

I think this has been discussed elsewhere and ruled out. Something to do (I think) with the Litter Laws up here in N.S.W.

Also spotted today one of those little SMART Roadsters. I've seen a few around but not that often.

I saw.........nice blue/purplish LR Focus with ST170 rims parked in Castle Towers. Not sure if it's just a normal Focus or the ST170 Focus.

Did you scream back???

Spotted a very nice Lotus Exige S and a Mustang which was in pristine condition. Can't tell you what type as I'm not really familiar with the Mustang. I heard it coming before I saw it.

A immaculate XB or XC "John Goss Special" Coupe just cruising along under the speed limit outside Campbelltown heading North on the Hume Freeway this morning. Might have been coming back from the Summernats.

They are 19's on it and pretty much look like dinner plates but he'll need a camber kit for the rears very soon (they are angled too much and are scrubbing the life out of the tyres). The guy who owns it plays for the Penrith Panthers.

Here's another one for you Simon! On the way back from our Cruise I spotted/followed a Maserati Quattroporte (I think that's the correct spelling) tootling along and the driver was wearing so much bling I had to put on a darker pair of glasses!!! What a waste of $285K.

You need to keep your eyes more on the road ahead.

Where's that 'awesome winding road' ? Could be a future route for Eurofordclub cruise.

Tiida police car, haha!

From memory, Todd doesn't have Euro Plates unless he's got some since the last time he was on a Cruise.

Oh I nearly forgot Simon, spotted a BA XR Ute in High Street, Penrith all painted up in the now defunct Triple 8 (Betta Electrical V8 Supercar Team) colours. Even had the race numbers on the doors!

Spotted this morning on the street in my local shopping centre a Silver Mondeo ST24 Sedan. This one is only one of a handful I have ever spotted.
