Exclamation SPOTTED (in odd location): Porsche 911 GT3 RS
I wasn't expecting to see one of these in Dandenong, let alone being washed by one of those car washes located in shopping center car parks. The attached picture taken this morning at Dandenong Plaza.



It is dangerous enough to drive a Falcon around Dandenong...........

Isn't it a weird world we live in? Something as simple as a colour would deter thieves for fear their sexuality may be questioned.

Beautiful car, by the way. What's hanging from the rearview mirror in the second/internet pic? Is that a radar detector?

If I owned one of these cars there is NO way I'd allow these wash places to touch the car.

I question the sexuality of any scumbag that would steal a car, regardless of it's colour.

Probably owned by a drug dealer in doveton who consumes too much of his product.

He thinks it's getting washed by hotties in a bikini.

Definitely a radar detector. It's a US car and a lot of people over there use them (shame we can't here - except W.A).

If I won the lotto, the RS would be one of the first cars I'd get.

If it was a Porsche 356 I would agree with you. The two modern versions of these vehicles are so far removed your comment is not relevant.

Dandenong is full of expensive cars that look out of place, drugs and guns.

It probably had a ceramic coating applied the first week of ownership and will get an annual refresh so the paint will never actually be touched by the car wash hacks.

Besides, it’s not the owners dream car - not now that he/she owns/leases it.
