I often see an Alfa Romeo Mito on my morning commute. Along with being relatively rare, the unique style, the lovely deep red colour and because it’s heading West, against the prevailing traffic flow, means its easy to spot. The only problem is both our drives are so predictable
Tonight I followed a stunning (and not red!) Ferrari 599 through Parnell tonight, oh the sound as it went up Parnell Rise!, but one thing had me wondering… What is significant about the personalised number plate: 850 Not Horsepower*, maybe $x1000? * In spite of using the only sensible measurement system
