I'm late
First of all, sorry I haven't updated in a while. In full honesty, though, I've done very little of interest in the past couple of weeks, largely because of the long spell of rain coupled with a sudden load of group project work to do for school. I have plans to go to Sydney's largest VW/Audi show on Sunday afternoon, however, so stay tuned for that.
So, even though this is a new update, there isn't a whole lot to say. A couple weeks ago, though, I decided to walk down a length of Parramatta Road in search of the local Lotus/prestige used dealer. When I walked in, I was shocked to see an ultra-rare/exclusive Maybach 62 sitting on the showroom floor, brand new!

$999,000
Also in the "luxury" section of the showroom were these beautiful Bentleys...
Bentley Continental R and Arnage Red Label
...contrasting with the "sports" section of the showroom.
Lamborghini Diablo Roadster, Ferrari 360 Spider, Lotus Elise
Lotus Exige, Ferrari 360 Modena

Walking back towards downtown, I spotted this classic Citroën GS Estate - a car I'd never seen in the metal before - and have since been on a big classic Citroën kick. :)
(Stay tuned for more classic Citroëns as well - there is a Citroën club meeting that I'm hoping to attend this coming Monday night)

The next day, my landlord made me a little desk for my new computer, which beats the small nightstand I was using before...

The next Tuesday, there was an auction of "30 Rare and Collectable Mazdas" at a (somewhat) local Mazda parts supplier. Many of the cars were forgettable, but there were some beauties as well, including this...
Mazda 808 Coupe
...powered by THIS! :D
302 V8
There was also a small old boat with an even bigger V8!
351 V8
A classic Mazda Bongo Van

A cool old 1200 Sedan

A bodyshell of a very old Mazda Bubblecar

In the end though, I had fallen in love with the RX5's.

One good thing that did come from the rain (and now sun) is a great number of beautiful birds around. Seems quite wild for me to see birds like this, as I'm used to pigeons and crows, but they're simply the native birds here!
