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 actually bright orange but that is the way my Samsung S5 mini captured it. And some people on this forum think mobile phone cameras are OK.......
Here is another picture found on the internet of the same colour: ![]()

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

This one was parked in spot normally occupied by a red 458.
I don't know if they sold the Fez for the Porker or they own both, either way they are very lucky... I didn't bother to get in position for the photo as you can tell by the pole! ![]() |

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.

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.

Dandenong you say, looks like the Apex gang has gone upmarket with the cars they steal.

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. |

Sorry but I hate 'he/she'! If the gender of the person is unknown the third person 'they' is used.
