Default Supercar Watch Tasmania!

I wanted to post this thread so that people could report in any exotic/supercars they have spotted in Tassie, because recently there has been many many porsche's, bmw m's etc around. Personally i get a thrill whenever i see a exotic car in the street, because they are just so rare! I'm mostly in the south and have seen/heard about the following recently:

-Black 997 911 Porsche Turbo
-E46 BMW M3 Gold
-Current BMW M6 x2 silver
-3 Audi RS4's, 2 sedans (silver, Grey) and grey wagon
-Yellow Ferrari 360
-Red Ferrari F430

Please feel free to add any. Will post up some pics of them that i have snapped :

There's loads of BMW's in Launceston, only special ones I've seen though is an Msport coupe. There was a new black porsche similar to the one above around Launceston a while ago too, all I could gather was the "turbo" badge on the back. Also seen a Hummer limousine in Launceston. Dammn, never thought a Aston in tassy though. Also seen a blue R34 GTR on sunday afternoon. I have seen the yellow ferrari that usually resides in the museum around sometimes too.

Yeah I guess that yellow one is the 360 you are talking about, it has a sticker on it for Mr DingGo from memory.

I've seen the F430 twice now. Very nice and love the number plate.

I know the guy that owns the Audi RS4 Wagon. Have sat in it and revved the engine - woohoo! He also owns a supercharged Nissan Z car. And he told his wife that he only paid $80K for the Audi! hahahahah!!!!! she still doesn't know!

There are also 2 new BMW M5's - one in silver (I know the owner of that one too) and another maroon one that parks underneath where I work everyday.

There is also another black 6 series BMW getting about Sandy Bay which I have seen about half a dozen times.

There is a new model M3 (black) that is getting around too - witht he carbon fibre roof. I heard that another owner of a new M3 stacked it on the first corner at Baskerville.....has anyone heard that too?

Did anyone see that yellow Zonda at Targa - my god....what a work of art!
